High Schools Show Larg
est Gain, With Plym
outh Leading Way; To
tal Enrolled 3,027
-*
Total enrollment in Washing
ton County schools three days af
ter opening of the term this year
was the highest of any year on
record at that time, it was learned
yesterday from a study of figures
from the office of the county su
perintendent. Third-Bay enroll
ment in all schools totaled 3,027,
as compared with 2,992 a year
ago and 2.872 three days after
the opening of the 1947-48 term.
The increase seems to be cen
tered in the three white schools
of the county, with Plymouth
leading the way. Colored schools
as a whole showed a small de
cline in number enrolled. This
may be due to crop conditions,
which usually affect colored en
rollment and attendance more
than in the white schools. Color
ed elementary schools showed a
drop of 61 students, as compar
ed with last year, while colored
high schools gained 27, leaving
a net loss of 34 in the colored
school system.
In the white schools, the total
enrollment gain over last year
was 69, 36 in the elementary
grades and 33 in the high schools.
The Plymouth white schools
showed a gain of 55. 21 in the
high school and 34 in the ele
mentary department. The Roper
school had a net gain of 1, in
creasing 3 in the elementary de
partment and losing 1 in the high
school. Creswell had a gain of
13, losing 1 in the elementary
grades and gaining 14 in the high
school.
The colored high schools show
ed a total gain of 27, 19 in Plym
outh. 3 in the J. J. Clemmons
school at Roper, and 5 at Cres
well. The Plymouth colored ele
mentary department lost 8 and
Creswell lost 18, while the Clem
mons school gained 3 in the low
er grades, for a total net loss in
the three larger colored schools
of 23 students.
The seven small colored schools
showea the biggest loss from last
year’s total. Only one of the sev
en, Backweeds, had a gain, and
that was but 3 pupils; while the
other six lost from 1 to 10 pupils
each, or a total of 39, leaving
the smaller schools with a net
deficit in enrollment of 36. Many
farmers keep their children at
home during the early days of
the school term in order to com
plete work on certain crops, and
it is believed most of the smaller
schools, which serve strictly rural
areas, will show an increase in
enrollment later after the farm
work is caught up.
If the attendance holds up at
the Plymouth schools, there is a
possibility that two additional
teachers may be earned. While
there are no iron-clad rules about
allotment of extra teachers, the
increase of 34 in the elementary
(See SCHOOLS, Page Seven)
Kangaroo Court in
Creswell Saturday
The kangaroo court is on the
move again. The judge, police
men, deputies, jail house, stocks
and barrel will be transported to
Creswell to hold court there Sat
urday afternoon. The court con
venes about 2 p. m.
Creswell was to have its own
kangaroo jail and othdr necessary
paraphernalia, but Harry Barnes,
instigator of the plan, has been ill
since last Friday and he called on
his Plymouth friends to-help.
Several weeks ago when Har
ry Barnes and other Creswell
citizens were hauled into kanga
roo court here, they had so much
fun, despite the fact that they
were fined for not possessing
shaver’s permits, cosmetic permits
or celebration hats, that they de
cided to have a court of their own.
