WILKES SCHOOLS LOSING NINE TEACHERS BECAUSE NO ROOM Under the recent ruling of the State Board of Education reduc ing the teachers load the Wilkes County School System will be entitled to six additional teach ers. The schools that will gain teachers by the ruling are: Wil kesboro, Millers Creek, Mulberry, Mountain View, Ronda and Lin coln Heights, and none have room for same because of lack of class room space. Cricket, Millers Creek and Mountain View schools were un able to employ all the teachers they were entitled to this year because there was not sufficient classrooms. . By not being able to employ all the teachers the attendance justifies causes ex tremely crowded class room con ditions, C. B. Eller, county sup erintendent, said. The enrollment is expected to increase next year as the schools anticipate the largest first grade enrollment ever to enter the schools.
