Smith Reports On School Work Of Year To Board; Makes Suggestions For School’s Future (CONTINUED FROM RAOB ONB.I elementary schools, for their equip ment, spirit and work. Parent-Teachers. "I cannot commend too highly the support of the Parent-Teacher associations. Under the capable ; leadership of Mrs. John Schenck, i Jr., president of the city council, Mrs. Earl Hamrick. Mrs, T. B. Gold, Mrs. Gladden, Mrs. John Shytle, Mrs. W. A. Abemethy and Rev, W. R. Jenkins, presidents of the school units, together with their officers and members, many valuable things have been accomplished. Every school association has affiliated with the state and national organ izations. Through their efforts they have raised during the past two years more than three thousand dollars. They have planted shrub bery, had painting done, purchased supplementary readers, purchased library books, invested in maps, arithmetic, reading and other equip ment, and have established a cor dial relationship between the homes | and the schools, Aid Given. "The mayor and board of alder men and the county superintendent, board of education and board of commissioners have been most co operative. Our ability to meet our financial obligations has been due f<> tforlr prompt payment of funds due us. In certain cases they have advanced to us needed funds. The town board; has further assisted us by making some donations. We are indebted to various organizations and individuals for donations, awards, etc. as follows: "Kiwanis cIud, vocational guid ance library; the late Mr. D. E. Honeycutt, pictures; Shelby mill, paint; Eastside and Cleveland Cloth mills, donations; Mr. Lee B. Weath ers, shrubbery and cup; Mr. Wm, Ltneberger. donations and medal; Mr. T. W, Hamrick, medal, Hon. O. Max Gardner, medal; Mr. R, T. Le Grand, medal; Mr. J. R. Dover, sr., medal; Mr. Forrest Eskridge, med al; Mr. Max Washburn, cup; Mrs. C. R. Hoey, cup; Mr. H. Clay Cox, gold piece; mills, lumber for athle tic fence; Baptist church, use of building; business firms, furniture, etc.; people, use of cars for con testants—those who have spoken in assembly, have served as Judges, etc. "In. the nature of things there needs to be an intelligent under standing of the work of the school and its activities. No school system has been more fortunate in the type nor quality of publicity than the Shelby system. Through the generous and discriminating news matter published with reference to the schools, the Cleveland Star has bestowed upon us- a real favor. Scholarship. "The most gratifying thing to me of all the internal workings of the schools is the improved scholarship attainment and the reduced number of failures. A major portion of our grades and sections in elementary schools now show a scholarship score equal to or better than the national standard. X am eager for the day to come when all of them will show such rank and when the spread of attainment ability for any one grade will not be over several grades. The percent of promotions has shown marked increase. The percent promoted in all schools in 19.8-29 was 61.3; for 1929-30, 65; and for 1930-31, 84. The high school has risen from 58.7 percent in 1928 29 to 79 percent in 1929-30 to 86 per cent in 1930-31. The college failures for the past five years have been as follows: 24.9 percent, 31.7 percent, 18.9 percent, 30.5 percent, and 4.5 percent. I am hoping that this year's class will do as well as last year’s class and that these standards may become indicative of the work done in the Shelby high school. Im provement is undoubtedly due to added emphasis to scholarship, to additional materials with which to work, and to instruction in study habits. In view of the higher scores on standard tests and the improve ment in college grades, I do not be lieve it is due to a lowering of mark ing standards. "The schools have touched the community in many ways in addi tion to the regular channels. Var ious ball clubs have been allowed the use of the athletic field; many community organizations have used the auditoriums; many adult classes have been taught vocational and reg ular subjects; a class of nurses was taught dietetic and chemistry of foods; a part-time class has been given commercial work; adult illit erates have been instructed, and many of the teachers have served as leaders in scout, Sunday school, church and community work. "There is reason for gratification over the financial situation. In ad dition to operating within our in come and budget and without bor rowing a cent of money for two years, we have reduced the capital indebtedness of the schools by $79, 864.08. It has been applied as fol lows; Floating Indebtedness, $61, 564.06; state loans, $4,300.00; bonds, $14,000. An effort is being made to get the balance of the floating debt funded in a manner such that the interest will be less and the drain on the operating fund reduced. Economy, "The local financial situation to gether with state legislation has called for retrenchment which has made inroads upon our schools such as few systems have had to endure. It is now to the point that there is grave danger that the educational opportunities may be seriously im paired. In order to live within our income we last year spent $23,463.08 less than was spent the year before Economy measures on the part of the state government has taken from us appropriations for the home economics department and for the operation of the negro schools. The application of the Hancock law caused us to reduce thfi elementary teaching force by five teachers and: the high school force by three. The new school law will cause us to lose an appropriation for four more elementary teachers and for two more high school teachers. In ad dition there are great reduction In appropriation for administrative I and supervisor purposes. All this is in face of an Increased enrollment! and curtailed tax collections. Greater Obligation. ''The result is that the commun- j ity will have to assume greater fi-' nancial obligation or restrict great ly the educational opportunities. Al ready the classrooms are badly overcrowded in many instances. The teacher-load (number of pupils to a room) is increased for next year,1 Further the appropriation is made on this year's attendance. Any growth in population will have to be taken care of in addition. We are making no improvement in our equipment from public funds, our buildings and furniture are ruining for lack of upkeep. The situation is destructive of right attitudes, ade quate care and conducive learning situation on the part of the chil dren. A threatened reduction of teacher’s salaries below the report ed earnings of Industrial and mer cantile employees Is not conducive to the maintenance of teacher mo rale. For the immediate future we must undertake with all our power to do certain things: 1. To operate within our Income. 2. To enhance the educational Interest and support on the part of local citizens. 3. To maintain such a fine mo rale among our teachers that they will if possible do a better Job with more pupils and for less money. 4. To get from all available, sources such supplementary funds .as we can. . Modern High School. “For the more remote future we must look for adequate state and local public support, for such an ap preciation of teachers that sound character, strong personality, and thorough training will be vouchsaf ed childhood, for improved build ing and equipment facilities, and for the steady adjustment of school facilities to the changing times in which we live. It appears -to me that Shelby must soon have a mod ern high school, that the upper grammar grades must be assembled in the present high school after a thorough reconditioning, and that the present elementary buildings must be left for increasing numbers of primary and lower grammar grade children. For that new situa |tion I would recommend a capable, well trained, elementary man prin cipal for the grammar grades and a capable, well trained, primary, wom an supervisor for the lower grades. * ^ thank you for your support during the year and pledge to you my best efforts for another year. “B.
