were greeted at the door by
Misses Knight and McDonald,

are embraced in the year closinI
June 30th last. This is belate<
news to the public, but our ap
Dology is, this is the first oppor
tunity to publish it.

in the report, but will be con
fined to some of the salient ffa
tures of it.

The average expenditure pe
pupil for both races was $5.4(
The total value of scho<
grounds and equipments of thi
white schools is $79.005.00 an
of the colored schools $3,855.
No money has been borrowe
by any of the districts for opei
ating purposes. Over half th
districts in the County hav
special levies and the State suj
plements the funds and aid
those districts which do not sui
ficient funds to run thei
schools for five months by gis
ing to such school dollar for do
lar up to one hundred dollar
The state has been giving aid t
the high schools at Picken
Liberty 'and Central, and aide
Easley until this year when he
population went over 2,500.]
will not aid high schools in
town with over 2,500 populatior
.The only indebtedness incu
red in any of the districts is fc
improvement of property, built
ings, etc. And the indebtednes
included in this report show~
only four districts to be in del
and have outstanding bonds a
follows: Easley, $17,000; Libei
ty, $10,000; Central, $10,000 an
Pickens. $7,000. The bonds voi
ed for the Dacusvilie school ar
not in this report but will be rt
ported next year.
There are .only two privat
schools in the county. the Si:
Mile Baptist Academy and th
Wesleyan College at Centra
but these do not come under th
jurisdiction or supervision of th
Superintendent of educatior
and none of the facts or statis
tics embraced in his report refe
to or embrace these schools.
Not knowing the facts iti
safe to estimate that these tw
schools employ a force of ten c
more teachers at an averag
salary of $50.-per month; tha
they enroll 300 or more student
and that their property is wort:
over $20,000.
