Miss Woodside also reports that she has been assured by the State Department that at least 6 new buses will be placed in service In Brunswick county with the beginning of the school term in September. Miss Woodside says that recent inquiries would indicate that there is some confusion regarding the standing of the consolidated schools of this county. Both the high school and elementary school at Southport, Leland and Bolivia, are on the accredited list, and have enjoyed this rating for several years. The high school department at Waccamaw and at Shallotte are on the accredited list, but the elementary school at each of these two places is not on the approved list. This con dition, Miss Woodside explains, it due to overcrowded conditions, not to teaching methods. Miss Woodside reports that thus far three of the five prin cipals who headed schools la this county last year have been re-elected. They are Henry Stone, Shallotte; O. C. Burton, Bolivia; A. C. Holloman, South port. J. E. Denning leaves his post as principal at Waccamaw to come here as superintendent of schools for Brunswick county, effective July 1. William Teachey, formerly of Beulahville, has been elected as his successor. E. E. King, of Leland, resigned at the end of the school year and thus far there has been no announce ment made of the election of his successor. Also In connection with school affairs.
