j Review For 1933-1934 Fiscal Year
i _
j BY G. C. BUSH
it was a struggle ior me state to
keep the schools open this past school
year. This was the first year in the
history of education in our state
that the teachers were paid from a
sales tax. The Transylvania county
total school tax levy for 1932-33 was
73 cents out of the total levy of $1.65
while in 1933-34 it is 30 cents out of
a total levy of $1.56 or a difference
of 43 cents, the amount your school
taxes were lowered.
me iouowing is a usi oi uie
for the different objects and items in
the school budget for Transylvania
county in 1932-33 in comparison with
1933-34 or the past year.
The following table shows the cost
of each object and. item for 1932-33
and 1933-34, showing the savings or
economies in expenses for 1933-34.
The 1933-34 school year closes July
1, 1934.

I The state gave Transylvania coun-,
1 ty one new school bus and one new J
I body extra which amounted to $1,-.
j 038.25 and the state is planning to
\ put about two more new bus units in
1 'he county for 1934-35.
i The children were transported j
this year very satisfactorily. No!
salaries for bus drivers nor mechan-!
ics were cut. Three-eights of the I
agriculture teachers’ salary is fur- j
, nished by the county also traveling j
expense for the agriculture teachers, j
The amount to be furnished this year
by the county is $525.00.
The cqst for fuel included the ex- •
! pense for a new truck body, so that, i
j the county board of education can ,
: haul the coal from the car to the.
1 bin. The truck body was ordered and,
built by the state school commission, j
: The coal is bought on state contract i
directly from the mines by the state. I
The amount of tax levied for build-.
ing funds to pay for school buildings j
i built in the past for 1932-33 was;
I *25,000, while that for 1933-34 was j
! $9,849.20. j
' The amount to be paid in 1934 -35 i
j will be around $7,471.88.
i A small library and in several in- J
I stances two libraries were placed in j
! every school outside Rosman and j
Brevard schools. The total amount of
! books amounting to nearly 1,000
added were a gift from the state
library commission. Several libraries
have b;en delivered to the board of
education ready for delivery to the .
schools when schools open up again, i
The state certification department
has a ruling that a teacher must have |
a Primary certificate to teach in the
first, second and third grades. To
teach in the fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh grades he or she must have ;
a Grammar Grade certificate. To'
teach in high school he or she must
qualify for Special certificates far
different subjects.
The law divides the school budget
into eight different parts, namely:
General control, instructional service,
operation of plant, maintenance of
plant, fixed charges, auxiliary agen
cies. capital outlay and debt service.
Neither of these different parts of
the budget is to be transferred from
one to the other.
The board of education does not
levy nor collect taxes, but is only the
disbursing agent for the money given
them by the state, and the county
commissioners for the different parts
of the budget for schools.
General control includes salary of
| the county superintendent, travel of
the superintendent, clerical assist
ance, office expense, cost for board
cf education meeting, which cannot
be more than $100 per year or
$33.33 each per year, attorney fees,
superintendent of public welfare sal
ary and travel ana the audit.
RALPH H. RAMSEY, Jr.
Candidate For
STATE SENATE
As a candidate for the State Senate I can assure the
voters of Transylvania County that I am pledged to no
group, faction nor organization, and, if elected, I shall
favor such legislation as I believe will be for the high
est welfare of all the people of my District and State,
A'ith the least possible burden of taxation.
I shall appreciate your support.
RALPH H. RAMSEY, JR.
Instructional service includes salar
ies of teachers and principals, in
structional supplies and vocational
education. i
Operation of plant includes wages ,
c,f janitors, fuel, water, light and ,
electric power and janitors’ supplies.;
Maintenance includes repairs to j
buildings, grounds, furniture, lights, |
and plumbing.
Fixed charges include insurance j
and rents.
Auxiliary agencies include school
transportation, such as gas, oil, j
grease, laoor and mechanic, parts for j
busses, insurance and contract trans
portation.
For debt service the county owed
for special building funds $24,291.26 j
and for state literary funds $778.80 i
or a total of $25,070.06 for 1932-33 j
and for 1933-34 the county owed a
special building fund. The principal I
is $5,250.00 while the interest is $2,- I
452.50 or a total of $7,702.50. We ;
have been paying on both these debts, j
To date we have paid $14,000 on the i
debt for 1932-33 and we have paid
$2,000 or, the debt for 1953-34. The j
county owed a total for debt service j
of $32,772.56 and we have paid on ]
this debt $16,000. At present we are i
in default $16,772.56 plus accnmu- i
lated interest. Outside of debt service
we had accounts payable as of June
30, 1933, to the amount of $10,421.40.
Practically all of this amount has
been paid at the present date.
The following amounts will become
due December 15, 1934. For 1934-35
Transylvania county will have to pay ■
the state for three leans dated Sep-!
tember 15, 1922, principal $1,000, in-1
terest $360, total amount $1,360.00; |
3-10-24, principal $2,000, interest |
$810, total amount $2,810; May 10, !
1926, principal $2,250. interest $1,- j
051.88, total $3,301,88 or a grand total
of principal $5,250.00 and interest;
82.221.88.
Under vocations'. education me
levy is 7 cents for agriculture and
home economics.
The entire levy for schools 1933-34
is 23 cents for debt service and 7
cents for agriculture. Under the
present law debt service or money
collected for building funds cannot be
paid on teachers 'salaries. Therefore
we have been unable to pay the
vocational teachers to date since we
must depend under the present law,
upon the 7 cents levy to pay the
county’s part and under the present
law the state cannot pay its part until
the county pays its part.
The audit will not cost as much
this year as it did last as the state
school commission has ordered that,
the county superintendent audit the
state’s part of the books. This work
has been done by the office clerk
along with the regular work in the
office, saving the county and state
at least $150 for this year.
All of the teachers in every county
in the state are paid by the state.
The teachers are paid state-wide ac
cording to the number of years ex
perience they have had and accord
ing to the certificate they hold.
We invite your inquiry any time
as to the educational work we are
doing. You are welcome any day to
come into the superintendent's office
and inquire about any part of the
education work. You should know by
investigation. The county superin
tendents of schools office are public
records and the county superintend
ent insists that you drop into his
office if there is any doubt in your
mind regarding any school record.
The county superintendent and chair
man of the county board of education
carry a heavy bond to see that no
money is lost and that the affairs are
conducted right. All drafts for money
and all material beught are reported
to the State of North Carolina. This
has been a trying year financially
for the schools and I feel that we
should rejoice that the schools have
been kept open.

FOUR THOUSAND AT
RED CROSS PAGEANT
i Largest School Of Kind In
United States Conducted
At Camp Carolina
Tenth annual water pageant given
I by the American Red Cros3 last
[Thursday night drew a crowd of
‘people that was estimated at over
[four thousand, over five hundred cars
'being counted parked ill the Camp
Carolina vicinity before the program
! started at 8:30.
Beautiful Camp Carolina lake,
where the pageant has been staged
for the past three years, was made
into an elaborate waterfront repre
senting a Dutch village, around
which story of the pageant was
woven. Appropriate costumes, a
windmill, flower.* along the water
edge and other arrangements added
to the effectiveness of the scene.
A huge liner “The American Red
Cross," brought the life ravers upon
the scene which showed an old man
musing as he mended his fishing nets,
relenting the fact that so many of
his people had gone to a watery
grave. In answer to his wi.-h that the
children playing games on the water
front might not be victims of the sea
as so many before them had been.
King Neptune, ruler of the seas,
promised the old man that the Red
Cross would teach people how to save
their own lives and the lives of
others.
r ancy swimming, diving nu canoe
ing, a burning ship and fireworks
added to the evening’s entertainment
which was arranged by Harry Ken
ing and Jimmy MacMillan, under
supervision of Ramone S. Eaton, dir
ector of the institute.
Among the notables attending the
pageant were James L. Fieser, of
Washington, D. C., national director
Junior Red Cross; Richard W.
Thursh of Washington, D. C., assist
ant national director of First Aid and
Life Saving.
With an enrollment of 15fl, the
aquatic school at Cainp Carolina this
year was the largest ever to be held
in the United States, fifteen states
being represented in the enrollment,
with states represented by the faculty
bringing the states represented to 21.
