W. H. Phillips was appointed
supervisor of Ellis school.
r A petition for a new school situ.
aed in the I.oper neighborhood was
received and filed. On motion ac.
tlon on same was deferred till next
nueiiug for further investigation.
Several applications foi raises in
silnry were received. On motion
all were denied as the Board has a
ruling tln.t no falark-s will be raited
after ecboola are accepted.
Tbe superintendent submitted the
f jllowinif report for the wur whieh
was approved :
Of tbe 55 wb te schools 53 have
been maintained with an enrollment
of 2337 an average attendance of
1389. T4ie census showed 2503
white youth of school age in the
county. Of these 166 did not at
tend school at all the past year, and
the average was but a little more
than one-half of the total nurabe- of
youtb.
There enrolled iu the negro schools
2G96 pupils with an average attend
ance of 2107. Theieare 3107 negroes
of school age in the county of which
111 did not enter school tbe past
year.
The average school term for the
past year was 111 days, that of tbe
previous year, 101, showing an In
crease of 1 0 days for the year. As
some schools were maintained for
longer periods than 5$ months, otb
ers were run for a shorter period a
few falling as low as 60 days. For
the past several years the term bag
been gradually lengthened and it is
to be boped that iu tbe next year or
two tbe interest manifested will be
so great as to maintain each school
for at least 6 months in tbe year.
Tbe school property of tbe county
is now valued at $47000 an increase
of 20 per cent. In tbe past year and
considerably over 100 per cent, in
the past 6 years.
Ofth55 white schools 16 are now
seated with best patent desks, the
others are fairly comfortably seated
with so called "Patent Pine" desks;
but all should have best patent desks.
I recommend that the Board devise
some plan wbeieby at least part of
those remaining may lie so furnished
each year. An expenditure of H500
each year for 3 years on furniture
would supply every school in the
county.
The Board is to be congratulated
upon tbe financial showing made at
tbe close of tbe year. One year ago
we bad a net cash balance of 17430 40
but the expenditures for the year
were exceedingly heavy and only
financing enabled us to close the year
with a net balance to our credit of
$382.03. With sucb a small bal.
ance bt this time and with many new
projects planned for tbe coming year
no unnecessary expenditure should
be made in order that we may begin
a new year in 1911 with out a debt.
Settlement was bad with tl.e treas
urer and all bills paid.
