Biennial Report of the
Superintendent of Edu
cation is Laid Before
, Governor Bickett.
(By MAX ABERNETttV)
Raeljgh,.Jan 10. Dr. E. C.
Brooks, state superintendent of
public Instruction, transmits hia
biennial report to Governor Bick
ett without, comment, saying that
T Unoit tlirim tha hnrft fnrtO to
speak eloquently of how fast this
State is progressing in order that
our people may take- - hope and
strengthen .their courage and in
crease their cooperation. If this
same progresses maintained by
each succeeding General Assembly,
North Caorlina will no longer be
regarded as one of the most back
ward States educationally."
Striking figures are given in the
report at to attendance. The .re
port shows that the total school
' population, according to the last
census, is 840,981. However, the
census for the rural disticts shows
a danvAnaa tit YinmikatiATt nf 2.Knf).
rr
which draws from Dr. Brooks the
statement that "this should cause
all thoughtful people to pause and
study the cause."
"The totar enrolment for 1919-20
was 691,249, or an increase over
the -year before of 99,762 or 55
pupils for each new teachsr add
ed. Altho the census shows a de
crease in school population in the
rural districts the enrollment in
the rural districts increased 75,096,
showing that the large increase in
enrollment was in the rural dis
tricts. , The average daily atten
dance was 473,552 or an incerase
of 87,879. ' Even on the basis of
average attendance the increase
in average daily attendance which
shows about 49 new pupils in daily
attendance for each new teacher
added. - - - , ) .
'-"The increase h? .attendance, is
due "In a large measure to the com
pulsory school law and to the im
provement in the management and
junuuci ux me ocnouiB. it is ue-
J.. ..J 1L. . l A--t .
coming ine ruie xor teacners to go
into the district before school
opens and acquaint the people with
the necessity of sending the chil
regularly. This large increase in
attendance 1 comes from children
within the compulsory school age;
namely, from eight to thirteen, in
clusive. So thorough was the
work done last year by the at
tendance officers and teaehesr that
practically the entire school pop
ulation within the compulsory
school age wwas enrolled in school."
-The Teachers.
"The total number of teachers
employed in the public schools for
the year 1919-20 was 16,845. This
is an increase of 1,785. over the
previous year. Notwithstanding
this great increase there were 403
schools' closed for lack of teach-
necessary to provide adequately f or
all the schools, if the enrollment is
not materially increased this year,
is 17.257.
"This increase in the nuniber of
new teachers is unprecedented. It
is largely in the white schools.' The
total increases in these schools be
ing 1,287. Of these 502 are male
.and 705 are female, showing a ten
dency for the 'male teacher to re
turn to the profession as a-result
of the increase in alary."
The Salaries of Teachers.
"A- great factor contributing to
the improvement of the schools was
the increase in appropriations by
the last. General Assembly which
mode ; it possible to increase the
salaries of the ') teachers. The
average salary paid to city teachers
last year was $588.02, and to ru
ral teachers $405.90. This was an
increase of $151.76 to city teachers
aim ?xv.i tu l uiiii bcoi;jiri5 xiiu
average salary paid to white teach
ers in the city schools was $753.66,
end in the rural schools, $450.01,
or an increase of $170.98 in the
city schools and $153.21 in the ru
ral schools.
"The .average annual salary pair
to the colored teachers in the city
schools was $445.15 and in the ru
ral schools, $262.85, or an increase
of $76.54 to the city teachers and
$105.70 to the rural teachers."
Consolidation of Districts.
"The new school law of 1919 ex
pressly stated that no new school
districts should ibe created in such
-a way as to increase the total
number of school districts in a giv
en county. Superintendents were
urged to organize their schools
wun rexerence io a couniy-wiae
plan. Asa result the number of
one teacher schools has been re
duced to 263 in one year. "The
number of schools having two
teachers has increased in one year
from 2,102 to 2,243, and those hav
ing threo or more teachers from
$93 to .1,163. This has been
brought about by consolidation and
increased enrollment. As a re-

PAPER COMMENT
ON COLBY VISIT
Santiago, Jan. 10. The news
paper La Nacion commenting on
the visit . of Bainbridge Colby,
American Secretary of State, to
Brazil and Uruguay, suggested
that it be arranged so he would
visit Chile.
"It is worthy of notice that the
imperialistic tendencies which
seem to dominate the spirit of some
North American public men never
appear to remaing in the minds of
public figures in the United States
after they have traveled among us
and thereby obtained a faily exact
personal -impression of ou repub

seem that a voyage to this conti
nent of a prominent North Ameri
can converts him immediately to
respect and esteem these young

The. paper recalls the visit of
Elihu Root and Dr. Leo S. Rowe.
head of the Pan American Union
"who upon their return have been
at all time loyal friends of
Chile."
f.'Every effort to draw closer the
ties with other countries of Ameri
ca on a basis of just equality is a
praiseworthy one," it add. "The
voyage of Mr. Colby presents an
opportunity to do this with the Uni
