Enrollment Figures
Do Not Come Up To

folks this year as compared with the |
figures of a year ago.
A complete report from the color-1
ed schools could nt be had immedi
ately. but preliminary estimates in
dicate an increase in enrollment and |
reflect no Serious effect from a de
pression birth-rate.
Several of the white schools re
ported a greater interest among the
patrons, Principal Russell Martin
stating that the mothers were at
Farm Life in numbers, that they
were eager to get their children
started off right. .
Principal Jim Uzzle did much
head scratching in trying to find
places for 26 additional tots in the
Jamesville school. The JamesviUe
school reported the largest single
gain in the enrollment figures for the
elementary grades. With the excep
tion of Williamston and Everetts
where marked decreases were re
ported. the enrollment figures are
recognized as being fairly stable
when compared with those of last
year Williamston lost 33 in the ele
mentary and 10 in the high school.
Bear Grass gained ten in its high
school.
The term beginning yesterday
marks the inauguration of the five
year high school in the county. Just
how the added grade will be incor
porated into the old system even ed
ucators don't seem to be altogether
certain. It is fairly certain, however,
that the boys and girls now in the
eighth grade will be in high school
five years with some few exceptions,
| of course. Several of the sopools in
this county have been working tow
ard that goal in an indirect way dur
ing the past few years, but the pres
ent eighth graders will be closely as
sociated with the change when it
takes final form four years from
now.
Based on the unofficial enrollment
figures released late yesterday af
ternoon and early today, the teach
er allotment for the county will like
ly remain unchanged. Superintend
ent J. C. Manning said today.
No official comment was offered
immediately following the opening
of the new term, but it was quite
evident in conversational trends yes
terday that school authorities are
expecting a serious response on the
part of the pupils to the call of the
time, and that a successful term is
