For whites the percentage of absenteeism was 6.8 or an average of 88,800 daily, r This 1951-52 record was better than a number of preceding years during tne past twenty, bt not as good as it was in "1950-61', ..which was the best considering both races. - The percent age for the white race, however, was best in 1941-42 when it stood at 5.3. City vs. Ttuiral ; r Absenteeism among city children is less than it is among children attend ing county or rural .v schools. Total daily absences, white and Negro, among county units was 47,226. This represented 7.5 per cent of the aver age daily membership. f Among the 72 city units, on the oth er hand, the percentage of daily absen teeism was 6.8, representing a total average daity absence of 14,574 boys and girls. ,i '. , Considered in terms of days absent the entire school year, pf 180 days, there were 8,50Q,680 absentees by chil dren enrolled ' In county schools and 2,623,820 absentees by those enrolled ; in city schools. Or another way, the 250,689 children in average daily mem bership in city schools, ' constituting 28.6 per cent of the total State aver age daily, membership; 'were respon sible for 23.6 per cent of the total .State absences.. 'y v P v"- -v Some units had a lower percentage of absences than others. Among coun ty units the range among white chil dren was from 3.8 per, cent in Dare County to 10.8 in Robeson (which in cludes Indians), or to Graham with 10.6 per cent. Aft1 average of 29,142 white children from county, units were absent each day rv : ' Among Negro schools absenteeism ranged from 1.0 per cent in Jackson (only 105 pupils in average daily mem bership) to 20.0 per cent in Nash. A 10 per cent average Is noted for Negro schools in the1 county units. An aver age of 18,084 Negro, pupils were ab sent each dawt.'u '.';'-:'. Absenteeism among City school chil dren, as stated, was not as great as among those from county units. Per centage of absences ranged among the 72 units from 3.7 in Burlington to 9.4 in Murphy in the case of white chil dren. Average in these units for white children was 6.6 per cent, or an average of 9,658 daily. Absenteeism for Negro children at tending school in- city , units ranged frm l.7 per cent in Thomasville to 18.5 per cent in Laurinburg., And the av erage for all 71 units in which there sre Negro schools was 6.2 per cent, an average of 4,916 absences per day. Twenty-eight county and 84 city units had the services of attendance workers durinsr the? year for which this discussion & concerned. The at , tainment of regular school attendance is one of the duties of such workers. In the 62 units naving attendance workers the per cent of absences was 6.2; in the 110 units not having at tendance workers the per cent of ab sences was 7.7. Thus there were 1.5 per cent fewer absences in units em ploying attendance workers than in those., not employing such workers. In terms of totals this means' that there would have been 7,227 fewer daily absences, yearly total of 1,200,860, if units not having attendance Workers - had the same percentage of absences as those units which employed at tendance workers. Among the units the percentages were as follows: 28 county units employing attend ance workers 6.6; iv 72 county units not employing at- tendance workers. 8.1-S& 34 uty units employing attendance .Nvv'V"' workers 6.7 , 38 city units not employing attend " ance Workers J.0 ;f V Nesfro Home Nursing Started Last Monday A home nursing school for Negroes started in Perquimans.

How about taking a trip with me this morning, December 16, 1953. We are leaving Shell Lake Motor Court for a visit with Gene in Coronado, Calif. Leaving early before sunrise so as to go as far as we can today We stop for breakfast at Brinkley, Ark., the next town is Devil's Bluff at 7:45 and 3 or 4 more towns before we reach Little Rock (Route 72); on this trip we pass several big rice elevators shipping many carloads of rice; and then cotton fields just a few days before Christmas, but we saw cquite a few people picking cotton. Arrive in Little Rock at 9:20 and stop for cof fee. On the outskirts of the city we begin to see liquor store advertising. Pretty sunshine and mild weather. 1 Red Clay farms, and wide open coun try, rolling and sparsely settled. Reach Conway 10:10 Here we see the Rock Island and Frisco Railroad! Russellyille 11:20 (mountain passage) ; cross the Arkansas River and Boston Mountains come into view; Paris, Ar kansas 11:55 and then several more towns Arrive in- Fort Smith 12:45 Population 47,942.; This is an import ant livestock market one of the lar gest in the Southwest, erected in Jf8 to protect settlers fom the Indians. The Arkansas-Oklahoma Rodeo is held here annually. We enter the State of Oklahoma at 1 o'clock and pass through these towns: Sasilaw, Chee notah, Henrietta, Okemah, Praque, Meeker, Harrah, Choctaw and reach Oklahoma City at 6:00. . We drove to the "Huckins" Hotel where I stopped in 1908. Visited there for a few min utes and met Mr. Huckins the owner. He told me he was there just two years earlier (1906) It was then (1908) a city of 40,000 and now it has a population of 240,000. (So Mr. Huc kins said) we. 'leave the hotel, con tinue for a short while and stop for the night at Boyer Hotel Court. This is the center of two of the largest oil fields in the world 2,000 in and near the city.
