Standardization Has Been Elementary School Aim In Five Of Shelby's Schools The mam object of five of the elementary schools, this year, has been standardization. In order to meet the requirements set up by our state board of educa tion a standard elementary school must have a seven year course of study including required subjects, a teaching staff with the proper kind of certificates, a school term of so many days, an attendance that is 1 good and an average daily attend* | ance not exceeding 40 pupils per teacher. , The equipment should Include three sets of supplementary read ers for each grade, a required num ber of maps, globes, reference books, dictionaries, special primary mater ial, p working library of around five hundred volumes, permanent rec ords, and an adequate sanitary building. Besides the specified equipment each pupil should own all his requir ed text books including music, writ ing and drawing. Since the big purpose of meeting the demands for standardization is to render a larger service to ouv boys and girls by enabling the schools to do more effective teach ing, patrons, teachers and pupils have put forth every effort, to stand | ardize. Donations irom patrons, picture shows .musical teas, rummage sales, bazaars, subscriptions to magazines and the selling of candy and tarts ore some of the means by which our various parent-teacher associations have realized nearly fourteen hun dred dollars to buy approximately fifteen hundred library book* and other needed equipment. A personal gift of several hun dred dollars worth of library books by Capt. B. L. Smith shows only In a small measure the active part that our superintendent has had In an effort to raise the standard of our schools. Children unable to buy their text books have been helped by the coun ty welfare officer and by generous hearted citizens and friends. Two years ago the South’-Shelby school of which Miss Selma Webb Is principal was placed on the stand ard elementary list of schools. This' school at present is the only stand ard elementary school in the coun ty However, in a few weeks when Misses Susan Fulghum, state inspec tor of schools visits us we hope to have the other schools on the ac credited list. Old Type Of School In Cleveland The above photograph represents the type of school building, once quite frequently seen in Cleveland county, but now rapidly disappearing, However, in a few sections of the county a few of this type may still be found. P-T Associations Are Strong Among Shelby Public Schools Each Association Hu For Tts Ahn The Standardisation Of Schools In City. At the beginning of this year’s work the schools of Shelby met and organised a parent-teachfr associa tion. A mass meeting was held at the high school builAng with each school sending a representative to make a report. Also contributing one selection for the evening's pro gram. The meeting was a most benefic ial one. The reports from the schools were good, and as each one gave their plans for the year every one became most enthusiastic. It was decided that there would be .two more such meetings during the year. As an outgrowth of this meeting each elementary school organized a Hve parent-teacher association in their own district. Each association has had as its one great aim the standardization of all the elementary schools. For this they have raised money by various methods. The libraries are becoming welT stocked with books bought by the associations. Supplementary readers and general equipment of all kinds are being placed in the different grades. Not only have the associations been alive in equipping the school rooms for standardization but they have given and planted shrubbery and blooming plants to beautify the grounds. Many pictures of not ed artists have been given to the schools. The officers or the Shelby public schools parent-teacher associations are as follows: General officers, vice-pres.
