Enrollment In County Schools During Past Year Set At 3,808 Total enrollment in Transylva-' nia’s schools during 1952-’53 was 3,808, as compared with 3,813 for last year, Supt. J. B. Jones an nounces this week. Average daily attendance was 3,- 135, eight over the previous year, Mr. Jones states. “With a decrease in building and construction work, there has been a slight drop in enrollment and average daily attendance,” the su perintendent explains. Under the circumstances, he says, it is doubtful if any additional teachers will be allotted this spring. However, in case of overcrowded schools this fall, teachers may be se cured based upon the average daily attendance for the first two weeks of school.

From A Reporter's Notebook By FRANCES WALKER Congratulations and best wish es go along with verbal bouquets to all the graduates who wifi be leceiving diplomas Tuesday. Nostalgia creeps into this corner around graduation time each year. I remember so vividly grad uating from both Brevard high school and Brevard college. In some ways it seems long ago, in others a short time. But for sure, it’s a year longer each spring. Upon reflecting what type of message or well-wishing to send out from this column to the grad uates, it dawned on me that in all the years from my own grad uation to now one thing has not changed. Just as my class speak ers in 1944 talked about the un certainties facing the youths of today, the challenges of a chang ing world in which peace is the number one objective, so the graduates of 1953 are pondering and wondering about the very same things. A lot of progress in many fields has been made since 1944, that’s for sure, but it seems tragic that the status of the world has changed but little. There’s your challenge, grads of ’53! Here’s your chance to bring about conditions that the young people and the old people who went before you have been unable to effect. Since this week’s Times is the annual graduation edition, perhaps it would be appropriate to reprint here a teacher’s contract that Mrs. Arthur Ffoulkes found recently in going through some of Jbier things in the attic trunk. Here it is: “This contract, by and between teachers, and the board of publick instruction for the county of Clay State of Florida, Witnesseth that: The said Mrs. M. E. Goodwin agrees to teach the publick school No. 18 at North Prong of Black Creek or such other publick school as the board may elect, commenc ing on the ninth day of October, 1871, for the term of three months, and to perform well and faithfully the duties of teacher, according to law and the regulations, of the De partment of Publick Instruction of Florida, For and in consideration of services, so rendered, the said Board of Publick Instruction for the county of Clay agree to pay to the said Mrs. M. E. Goodwin the sum of ten dollars per school month and to give such further aid as the law requires, (signed) Mrs. M. E. Good- v/in, teacher.” Everyone who knows Mrs. Mary Jenkins is familiar with the kind ness that literally pours from her heart. She is one of the most per fect examples of a Christian lady that we have ever been privileged —Turn to Page Five NOW BEING EXTENSIVELY REMODELED BREVARD COLLEGE A CO-EDUCATIONAL JUNIOR COLLEGE Under The Auspices of the Western Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church OFFERING COURSES IN • Liberal Arts • Pre-Professional Business • Music A College With A Program for Students With A Purpose EIGHTEENTH SUMMER TERM JUNE 8 — JULY 18,1953 For Information or Catalog Write To Director Of Admissions BREVARD COLLEGE BREVARD, N.
