Pupils from three sec tions are attending school across the line in adjoining counties, Horseshoe, White Hill and Samarcand. Pupils from adjacent territory in Lee, Hoke, Montgomery and Randolph counties attend schools in Moore. The daily average attendance so far has been better than in former years. This is due in part to favorable weather conditions and to the general good health of the pupils. While there has been some measles, whoop ing cough and scarlet fever, cases have been scattered and generally of mild form. Prosecutions for violation of the compulsory law have helped the at tendance average quite a good deal in some instances. The average grade of certification is higher and the teaching personnel stronger. The effects may be ob served in the higher standards and better work that is being done in most of the schools. Moore County Near the Top. Some of our people may be sur prised to know that Moore county stands very near the top of the col umn in per centage of high school graduates in ratio to population. Statistics compiled by the Depart ment of Rural Social Economics of the Sta'e University show that only two counties in the State have a high er rating than Moore. Pamlico has a rating of 117.2, Washington 105, and Moore 103.2 per 10,000 popula tion. The next highest is Warren with a rating of 96.2. The average for the State is 47. Many of the richer and more populous counties fall far below us. It has been our purpose all the time to maintain a steady, substan tial and permanent growth, rather than to gain popular applause by spectacular undertakings and it is very gratifying to know that our county is making such a good showing in the things that are realy worth while.
