Facta About County Schools
By SUPT. W. J. TAYLOR I
The white schools of Chowan
County School system will open |
Monday, September 13, for registra
tion and classification.
The Superintendent will meet with
all the white teachers in the audi
torium of the Chowan High School,
Saturday, September 11 at 10 A. M.
All bus drivers and substitutes are
being nptified to appear in Eden
ton Friday morning at 9 o’clock to
be examined by the State Highway
Patrol, as required by Section 1 of
the act to promote safety in the
transportation of the school children
of North Carolina. Section II of
this Act states that it is unlawful for
any person to operate or drive a
school bus loaded with children over
the public roads of North Carolina
at a greater rate of speed than 36
miles per hour. Section 111 of this
same Act says that any person vio
lating Section II of this act, shall
upon conviction, be fined not more
than SSO or imprisoned not more than
30 days.
r School busses have been routed by
the State officials and approved by
the County Board of Education. No
ichanges can be made upon immediate
notice, because according to Sec
tion 25 of the present school law,
notice of a change in any route or
routes will have to first be filed with
the State School Commission. This
means that local officials will have
to first have the approval of the
Commission before a change in bus
routes can be made.
As noted in the report of the pro
ceedings of the County Board of
Education, September 4, 1937, all
elementary pupils are to attend the
school located in their respective
communities, and only the high
school pupils are to be transported,
unless it is found that a pupil lives
more than a mile and a half from
the school assigned. This motion as
passed by the Board of Education ap
plies to the situation in the Center
Hill, Beech Fork, Gum Pond and
Oak Grove sections. Only the high
school pupils are to be transported to
Chowan High School, unless it is
found that there is an elementary
pupil living more than a mile and
half from his respective school. This
conforms with that section of the
law, Section 25: ‘The State shall not
be required to provide transportation
for children living within one and
one-half miles of the school in which
provision for this instruction has
been made.” In the matter of trans
porting children to the school (Cho
wan High) to .which pupils are as
signed, the State law says that the
busses must be routed so as to get
within one mile of all children who
live more than one and one-half
miles from the school to which they
are assigned (Chowan High School.)
Children who do not become six
years of age on or before October
first are not entitled to enrollment
in any school. Section 22 1-2 of the
State School Law reads: “Children to
be entitled to enrollment in the pub
lic schools for the school year, and
each year thereafter, must be six
years of age on or before October
first of the year in which they en
roll, and must enroll during the first
month of the school year.” It is
hoped that parents will consider this
limitation.

The colored schools will open Octo
ber 1 on Friday rather than on Mon
day, October 4 as announced some
time ago. The change is made in
order that as much as three months
will have been taught by the begin
ning of the Christmas holidays.
All teachers are requested to have
Health Certificates to present at the
First Tachers’ meeting.
All basal text - books will be loan
ed by the State for the first seven
grades. These books will be check
ed out to each pupil by the teacher.
The principal of Chowan High
School will check these books out to
the teachers of this school. Books
for the other schools will be issued
to the teachers from the Superinten
dent’s office.
In addition to the basal text-books,
the County School System has adopt
ed the B plan for the renting sup
plementary readers. Six sets of 20
copies each will be provided for the
first grade and three sets for the
second grade. The cost per pupil
for the year will be 50 cents which
will be collected the first week of
school. These books are issued to
the pupils in the same manner as
the basal texts. There will also be
three sets for the third, fourth and
fifth grades, and a dictionary for
every four pupils in each grade. The
cost for the year per pupil in these
three grades will be 60 cents. This
fee is to be collected the first week
of school. For the sixth and seventh
grades there will also be three sets
of Supplementary Readers furnished,
with a dictionary for every four pu
pils per grade for a fee of 70 cents
per pupil for the year.
All high school texts will be rent
ed as in the past two years. In the
event that parents wish to buy books
same may be purchased from the i
Superintendent’s office only. This ]
office will remain open on Satur- j
days to accommodate those desiring j
to purchase school books. In some |
instances, pupils may already have
a complete supply of books. This is
all right, others may have only a
part. These can be supplied by the
teachers. There may be parents who
wish to buy books all the way
through. This is all right, and they
can be supplied from the Superin-:
tendent’s office.
The idea behind the book rental
system is to make it as in-expensive,
to She parents as possible, and at j
the same time provide for each pupil'
to have the necessary books in time.
' There is no conflict between the ren
tal system and those who desire to'
buy books as before the rental sy-j
stem was adopted. As stated above, j
; all the necessary books may be pur
chased at the Superintendent’s office,
' except the Note books and Labora
tory Manuals. These will have to be;
ordered from the publishers at act-i
ual retail price to the pupil.
In the event a pupil enrolls and'
; has books issued to him, and if i
he moves to another county or school j
system in the County, said pupil
' leaves his books with the teacher orj
| principal, and a transfer slip is is
sued to the pupil, on which is stat
ed the name and number of books is
sued. He takes this slip with him
| and presents it to his teacher in the
next school system, and in return
[ the necessary books are re-issued to
him without additional cost. In the
| event he moves to a school system
which does not use the rental system
, or he has to stop school, he turns
' his books in to the teacher and where
, he has paid a tee, as in High School,
or on the Supplementary Readers, a
’ proportional part of said fee will be
refunded him by the Superintendent.
When a book is damaged to the
| extent that the book cannot be used
1 the next year, or when the book is
, lost, the pupil will be expected to
’ pay the retail price of the book or
to replace it with a usuable book. We
| have found In the past two years,
| however, that books have been well
, cared for, and only a few have been
lost or damaged beyond further use.
We have found that pupils who rent
’ books take better care of them than
; those who buy. In a few instances
i it may be wise for the parents to
buy the books, but hi actual practice
in the last two years in the handling
of over 5,700 books, less than 100
have been lost or damaged beyond
further use. It may be stated heire,
1 however, that parents can not ex
' pect their children to be issued all

new books, because a number of the
books will have been used. Parents
can be assured, however, that their
children will be issued usable books,
books that meet the requirements of
the Textbook Rental Commission.
In the matter of transportation, we
hope to have a better system than
heretofore, "in that our trucks are in
better operating condition, larger,
with less mileage per trade, and we
hope less crowded. We are operat
ing with one more unit this year
than last year. The County receiv
ed two 17 foot body 1937 Fords, and
one new Ford, 17 foot body, pur
chased by the county. With the co
operation of the parents, pupils and
the public, with the school officials,
we believe the system will work more
satisfactory than heretofore. The
State Highway and Public Works
Commission, has promised to give
special attention to the truck routes
in the way of maintenance.
As in the past, we feel that we
i have selected well qualified bus
drivers. We also are fortunate in
I having the State Highway mechanics
to service the tiucks, and believe that
they are ready to help make the
transportation system safe and effi
cient, as they have been in the past
years.
