THE CONCORD TIMES ATTENDANCE MARKS IN RURAL SHCOOLS , MOST ENCOURAGING 93 Per Cent, of High School Pupils Are Present Daily, j Attendance For County i Is About 3.000 a Day. ith an average daily attendance ! °f a l ) l>rox matel.v ‘>.ooo students, the rural schools of ■Cabarrus country are I nearing the halfway mark of oile of the biggest and most important years 1 of their existence. I‘ orty-sevon schools, including four high schools, eight elementary schools with four or more teachers, five with three teachers, fifteen xvitli two in-1 strut-tors and fifteen of the one-teach er variety are in operation in the county at the present t’me. These institutions have a total enrollment , of 3,817, of xx'hich about 83 per cent. | are in average daily attendance. For every 21.0 pnpils in the 43 He-• mentar.v schools there is a teacher, j while an oven greater percentage of teachers per pupils is prevalent in the high school departments. The highest average of daily at- { tendance is found in the four high schools—Winecoff. Harrisburg. Mt. Pleasant and Bethel—which show a rating of 03 per cent, and the lowest is brought out in the statistical rec ords of the one and two-teacher ele mentary Institutions xvho*se percent age is 77. This low rating is large ly due to the late harvesting done by pupils enrolled in the classes. The high individual average is held by Harrisburg High School xvitli a per centage of 5)4.8. Seven of the original elementary schools of the country have been dis continued through consolidation sinc<* the beginning of the 11)27-28 school year. The***, which include Hahn, s Barringer, High Point, Hickory Ridge. Moose, old Harrisburg and old Hart sell. wore discontinued only after due consideration by educational authori ties of the county, who decided that a greater concentration of effort could be secured through consolidation. While the training average for the teachers in the rural schools is not up t<> the standard set by other coun- I ties in the State, it is constantly im proving. S. Glenn Haxvfield, super intendent of county schools, reports thut he is greqtly encouraged by the fine spirit shown by the teachers in raising their rating through accredit ed extension and correspondence courses. At the present time there are but three teachers considered beloxv stand ard in- training and it is the hope of the superintendent that his forces, as a body, will raise their average from 100.(3 to xvell over GOO in the educa tional chart, published by the State, xvithin another year.

CONCORD Y TURNS i IN VICTORY OVER CATAWBA, 32 TO 31 Brilliant and Thrilling Fin | ish Gives Concord a Tri : umph in Dying Seconds of - Game —Winecoff W ins. i A lightning “finish in spectacular i style gave the Concord Y M. C. A. j eagers a victory by a lone point mar gin over Catawba's quintet at the , high sehool gymnasium Friday night. I The score was 82 to 31. This stirring j contest followed the practice tilt be tween the xvell-matched outfits of Winecoff and Concord high schools, the former winning 18 to 16. i There were lots of tense moiuments in the Y-Catawba ordeal, especially in the last period, when, after lead ing all the xvay, the Y tearnrn lost the I lead by one point. It was a terUfic ; struggle of wits and deceptive plays. | Only a few more seconds left the Y ! quintet unleashed a smart passing at { tack, and in a Hash Ed Morrison sent the sphere from iTis linger tips xvhirl ing into the basket for the xvinning goal. i _ Tbe fan<s were in an uproar as tbe ■ xvinning goal xvas registered, standing and yelling loudly, the gym seeming to quiver under the explosion of ex citement. Bloomfield, Morrison and Davis were all over the court in their sen sational playing for Concord, passing. ; dribbling and shooting to the dislike of the collegians. Bloomfield at cen ter is a wizard and his shots as well {is passing are accurate. The former M issouri center is elusive and clever with the sphere. He scored txvelve points, five field goals and two foul goals. Morrison was next in the high scoring xvitli eight points. Hobart Davis, Nebraska flash, dem onstrated to the Catawba team his keen ability to follow the man whom he guards, and to toss some goals «ml pass excellently in the meanwhile. Davis lived up to his reputation “in following his man like a detective.” Bod Dick and Marvin Long xvere in the thick of tin* rough and tumble fray, dribbling out of many tight places to pass the ball to one in a more advantageous position to ring a basket. Nick Sappenfield. Robert Cline and Pete Lentz xvent Into tbe game for the Y, doing their duty i i admirable style. Concord Y has* undoubatcdly one if the best cage outfits in the state, bCng a team of experienced men with plenty of pop and scientific knowl edge of basketball. Chic Miller, (J. Peeler and Whisen huiit played brilliantly for the college five. High School Game. Concord high school met defeat largely through inaccuracy iu shots. The Spiders outpassed and outdanced the Winecoff lads, but the flings at the basket were xvild. Time and time aga : n the Concord team bad the ball bouncing about the hoop, but missing the intended mark. The rural team took the lead at the very be ginning and -by careful shots li«*ld to it.
