Schools Here
Get Low Rank
In Efficiency
Only 14 Counties Rank Lower Than
Cleveland In Efficiency Test.
Shelby Low.
The efficiency test applied to the
schools of North Carolina for fhr
year 1927-28 by the state depart
ment of public instruction shoes
that only H of the 100 counties in
North Carolina rank lower by the
test than does Cleveland county,
while only one town in city 31011,”
two ranks below Shelby.
The Cleveland county efficiency
ranking for 1927-28 is 51.5 or just .3
better than in 1026-27. The avri
age efficiency ranking for the en
tire state was listed as 61.7. or 10.2
higher than this county.
The efficiency of the Shelby city
schools w'as listed as; 79.9 for 1927
28, a gain of only .3 over 1926-27.
Of the 34 schools in the three city
school groups in North Carolina
only three rank lower than the
Shelby schools in efficiency. The
efficiency average for city schools
In the three city school groups in
North Carolina only three rank
lower than the Shelby schools in
efficiency. The efficiency average
for city schools taking the state a*
a whole is 87.
Teacher Shortage.
The school efficiency test is ap
plied under 10 heads, and the low
ranking of Shelby and Cleveland
county is attributed to a 'ow rating
in salaries of teachers and princi
pals and a low current expenditure
per pupil enrolled.
The University News Letter ex
plaining the efficiency test system
says: /
Ten factors generally recogni^d
as essentials of a good school sys
tem are used as measures. Five of
the factors measure academic con
ditions and the other five pertain to
expenditures and values and hcr.ct
may be designated financial factors.
Each of these factors is translated
into an index that w'ould be perfect
at 100. Thus by adding the ten fac
tors and dividing their sum by ten
the composite score is obtain "i
This is termed the “general effi
ciency index.”
The ten factors are as follows:
Percentage of enrollment in aver
age daily attendance.
Average length of term In days.
Training of teachers.
Percentage of enrollment in nigh
school.
Percentage of children enrolled
who are normal and under age for
their grade.
Average annual salary of teach
ers and principals.
Cost of instructional service per
pupil enrolled.
Current expenditure per pup l
enrolled.
Current expenditure per teacher
and principal employed.
Valuation of school property per
child enrolled.
Each of these factors nas b*rn
applied separately to all he oubiic
white schools of the state each year
for the last five years. The comfioi
ite score has risen from 58.9 in 1923
24 to 68.6 in 1927-28. The rural
schools have witnessed an en :cur
aging improvement. Their score has
risen In five years from 50.1 to dl."7.
It is the cities, howeVer. which
show the highest scores, 81.1 in
1923-24 and 87.0 In 1927-78.

Fair Drunks Not So
Numerous This Year
Two Score Casts Develop From
Fair Week, Less Number Than
Last Year.
Although something like two
scores cases developing during fair
week have been tried in county
court, most of them for prohibition
law violation, the recorder’s blotter
shows that drunks were less num
erous at the fair last week than
they were last year.
Of the 40-odd cases tried as an
aftermath of the fair, the majority,
according to Judge Horace Ken
nedy, were charges against defera
anst who took on too much spirits
before taking in the midway gaiety.
One of the other charges was
that preferred against one of the
Rubin and Cherry show followers
for driving a tractor on a paved
highway. The defendant was fired
$25 for the offense.

Attendance In
Rural Schools
Very Good Now
Report For Second Month Of
Eight Months Schools Show
Attendance High Average.
A more consistent attendance in
the eight months rural schools of
Cleveland county is being shorn
this year than ever before, accord
ing to attendance reports for the
second school month given out at
the office of the county superin
tendent, J, H. Grigg.
There are 14 long term schools
in rural Cleveland county, but re
ports filed so far at the couniv
superintendent's office cover the
attendance for only nine of these
schools. Second month reports
from Waco, Lattimore, Patter
son and No. 8 have not been itl
ed as yet by the principals. The
Park-Grace school, below Kings
Mountain, only opened last week
and is, therefore, not included In
the report, while the attendance
figures given for the Dover mill
school cover the first month there
instead of the second month.

County Schools Closed To Pick
Cotton Fail To Help Much Now
Rains Have Prevent School Children
From Aiding In ricking. Two
Schoof* Lucky.
The heavy rains last week and
this week have not only damaged
the farm crops of Cleveland county,
but they have also caused many of
the eight months schools in the
county to lose a week or two of
school work while the cotton fields
have not brnefitted bV the idleness
of the children
Bach year the long-form school
in the county rlose so that the chil
dren may aid in getting the cotton
crop picked. Following the custom
practically all of the schools c'osed
last week or week before last so that
the children might be free to aid
in the picking. But due to the rain;,
which have made cotton picking
impossible, the closing has been r,f
little, if any, benefit as yet. The
delay in cotton picking, or rather
belated weather favorable for pick
ing may cause some of the schools
to remain closed a week or two
longer than they had expected.
Two scnools, Fa!' ‘on and Bel
wood, however, ha- been lucky in
that respect Neither school has
closed so far for the cotton-picker?
reason, but both expect to close
down Friday of this week. Since
their closing date w-as set a week
later than the others these two
schools have been enabled to get !n
a week of school work which the
other schools did not.
South Carolina County Will K<-c|i
Promisr, Other Reports er
roneous. Editorial Oig.
Gaffney, Oct 1 - Engineers ire
work surveying the route for a new
highway to connect the Stacy Rsrv
bridge over Broad river with North
Carolina highway No 18, mult south
from Shelby to the Cleveland
Cherokee county line.
The Cherokee county commis
sioners are ready to let a contract
for the construction of this con
necting link as soon as the n“_es
sary preliminaries can be handled,
according to J. N. Lipscomb, n em
ber of the board
Mr Lipscomb was considerr.Hy
surprised by reports hat some
Shelby people seemed to doubt tool
Cherokee county intended to make
the connection
The Cherokee county commis
sioners in regular session officially
agreed to meet the North Carolina
road at any point on the state line
chosen by the Tarheel authorities
providing the Stacy Feriy bridge
could be used in crossing Broad
river, Mr. Lipscomb pointed out
This agreement was recorded in the
minutes of the commissioners' meet
ing, Later the local authori lcs
adopted a resolution asking that
the engineering department of the
state highway department make
the necessary surveys for the wok.
"We expect to build this road c
early as possible within reason."
Mr. Lipscomb stated. ''Offictais
here have had no other idea, and
I can not understand how erv
contrary report could be given any
credence."
Another Ancle.
Commenting upon the reports
about the "missing link ' in high*
way 18. the Gaffney Ledger has
the following editorial comment
about highway 18 and another
highway between the two states'
"Pears expressed at Shelby that
Cherokee county may fall down on
its agreement to build a highway
connecting with North Carolina No.
18 at the state line, as reported in
the last issue of the Cleveland Star,
are without foundation. As a mat
ter of fact, surveyors are now at
work mapping oift the Cherokee
county link, and a contract for tnc
road will be let as soon as the nec
essary preparation can be made, ac
cording to a member of the Chero
kee county board of commission
ers.
"Any accusation of breaking
faith' lodged against Cherokee
county by Shelby could hardly ue
put forward with good grace in vow
of the ‘missing link' that exist? >n
the hard-surfacing of U. S. No 29
between Grover and Kin^s Moun
tain.
"The idea may be erroneous but
it is pretty widely believed in this
territory that Shelby has kept tnat
section from being paved tn the
hope of ultimately securing a re
routing of the highway from Gi.ff
ney by way of Shelby. If so, the
North Carolina highway dutv-t
ment ought to 'take the bull by t ie
horns' and proceed with die ha-d
surfacing of this gap ”

court here before on immoral con
duct Charges,
The charges included assault upon
a female, ariving while intoxicated,

The Puzzle Creek bridge, Rutlie:
