C. , " !< i ,i EDUCATION MAKES GREAT PROGRESS Showing That Horry County | Makes Rapid Strides Along Educational lines 1 1 1 1 1 Great improvement hae been made in the educational situation in Horry ] County during the present year and < to prove this the following facts ! are taken from the report recently maHo hv Ikn 1 ?~ ?j w?v vuunttv supurinienaeni of education to the grand jury of Horry County: At the beginning of the year 30 districts were in debt to the general school fund, now there are only 5 overdrawn and three of these have materially decreased their deficits. One of the remaining districts is now to pay its indebtedness in full,1, this leaves only one district that is \ in a distressing condition financially. At the beginning of the year the; County School Fund was overdrawn! and responsible for over $10,500.00. At the close of the year the County 1 School Fund was overdrawn and re-1 sponsible for less than $7,500.00 i which shows a gain of over $3,000.00. At the same time the schools have j not been crippled but have made progress in many directions. As soon as the annual settlement is made by the Comptroller General with the J County officials a full financial state- i meat as to the condition of our schools will be published. The average expenditure per pu }/n iitiM uci'u raised irom 1 to SI 0.0 4. The previous year 152 teachers were employed for a term of 10") days at an average salary of $291.00 with an enrollment averaging 41 pupils per teacher. This year 170 teachers were employed for a term of 110 days at an average salary of $299.00 with an enrollment averaging 30 pupils per teacher. According to statements made by the County Board of Education a few years ago 23 per cent of our teachers were first grade, 28 per cent second grade, and 49 per cent were third grade. For the year just ended 42 per cent of the teachers have first grade certificates, 40 per cent have secemd grades, and 18 per cent have third grades. D urine the v?r schools were decreased from 66 to 48, the two-teachev Bchools were increased from 36 to 82, and tho threeteacher schools were increased from 9 to 13, and schools of more than three teachers were increased from 2 to 4. The greatest progress of all was made in tho voting of special school district taxes which showed an increase of over $5,000.00. 42 districts have increased their local tax levies and several more will be put on before tho tax books close this year. We feel assured that no county in the state has ever voted on so many local tax levies in one year. July 1, 1910 5 districts had no special tax, 2 of those have voted on '1 mills and 2 have voted 8 mills, and the fifth has been annexed to an 8 mill tax district. Now every district has a special tax, and f>0 per cent of them have levies of 8 mills or more. 2 districts have already j local levies of J(? mills for school purposes and a third has ju\?t voted on this maximum levy. The umber of districts has been decreased from 97 to 911 by consolidation. Two poorly arranged tworoom buildings have been remodeled according to the state plans and a room added to each. Many new buildings would have been erected but for war conditions. Supervision of the work of the school rooms was attempted especially in the arrangement of the daily schedules. Over 10,000 letters, circulars, blanks, etc., were gotten ofT ^ m the mimeograph, thus saving the heavy expense of printing. A little ^ bulletin on primary work written by ( the Training Teacher was publishe I and furnished to the teachers of the county. Pupils monthly report cards were supplied free to the teachers, ft is impossible in our short terms ol schools and especially in our crowd5d classrooms with irregular attendance for pupils to complete the work of a grade as prescribed by the J State Board of Education within :>ne school term. Either the work 1 will not be thorough or some of the subjects will have to be omitted. To ( illustrate, though agriculture is re- j quired in several grades, only 299 ' pu]>ils in the county studied this im- 1 portant subject last year. Though ; several leaders are required to be studied, by pupils of each grade, it is a fact that seldom more than one, and frequently none is used. In order for this year's teachers to know the subjects studied and the work NORESTONAN^^ OFWAR FRONTS Late reports say that nowhere are the armies of the Teutonic allies being permitted to rest on the fronts in Flanders, France, Italy, Albania ind Turkey. The enemy still continues to lose ground, or is compel led to thTow strong reinforcements into his battle line to hold back his aggressors. In Belgian Flanders, the Belgians, British and FYench troops are still iriving forward, although their speed had been somewhat lessened by reason of the bad condition of the ground. The enemy is swiftly evacuating the salient between Armentieres and Lens and the British now are standing only a scant six miles southwest of Lille over ji f?nnt ^f * .. ? .. ,..v v/i ciuv/iit xuur miles between Wavrin and Equinehem, at the former place having gained a position astride the Lens Lille railroad. Notwithstanding violent counterattacks and a line strengthened by fresh reserves the British between St. Quentin and Cambrai have materially pressed eastward from the region of LeCatelet and to the north have improved their position in Cambrai st) well that apparently this important town must soon fall. Taken all in all, the situation of the Germans in this region seems to he criteal and the crisis at hand. Far to the rear aerial observers report the roads congested with retreating troops, who are being harassed by the machine gun fire of the airmen. As in Flanders, fires are everywhere to be seen and it is evident that the enemy, realizing that he must give r it luriner ground, is vigorously applying tlui torch. done in each by the pupils last year, information blanks were prepared in the Superintendent's oftiice and delivered in person to the teachers. In the beginning of the term all teachers were asked to send in copies of their daily schedules. These wore examined and uniform blanks for keeping the schedules, together with suggestions for improvement were carried to the teachers by tho Superintendent and the Training Teacher. Through the kindness of the State Superintendent of Education, the Training Teacher was peri mitted to spend three months visiting and helping in the schools of the I county. Her assisatnee was valuI able and goes to prove the need of a supervisor who can give all of her time to this work in our rural schools. The only cost to the county was the traveling expenses of the Training: Teacher. The Co. Supt. of Education has spent practically all of 1 his time visiting the schools except when compelled to attend to his official duties in his office and elsewhore. While the progress made by our schools cannot be claimed by any one person, much of it was due to the cooperation of teachers and Superintendents brought about by this supervision. These visits entailed heavy expense upon the Superintendent for no traveling fund is provided for this work in the county. It will be impossible for him to continue these personal visits unless some provision is made for his traveling expenses. Money spent in this way will bring greater returns to the schools than money invested in any other way. Many districts are working under the compulsory cducaton law but the law is so complicated as to prevent its general adoption. State Aid has increased from $10,000.00 in 1910-17 to $24,pOO.OO in 1817-18. Horry County received more State Aid in 1917-18 than any other county in the state except Spartanburg which forged ahead on account of its putting up so many new school buildings. This money came as a result of the school districts complying with the law. Nearly one-fifth of the Equalizing money spent in the state was sent to n *- ?'i ' TT ~ wuiity. vYinie norry bounty received so much from t-he state m account of its weakness the couny has done nothing for its own ,veak schools. We need a county equalizing fund just as much as wo iced a State Equalizing Fund. Our Delegation to the General Assembly vt its last meeting appropriated *500.00 for this purpose but the Jounty Board of Education could tot secure it before the close of the school vear. If t.ho w ?- ?v %- ? . ?\H V li ill V? ry section of the county are to bo ^iven the chance to get even the rudments of an education, the county uust continue this aid and give morn substantially. M.
