"The law was mandatory to the effect that these schools should be discontinued," the board's statement said, "unless it was found to be more economical to keep them as at present. The board did not find it possible to transfer all of these schools elsewhere but materially de creased the number. A total of 52 high schools were consolidated into other schools and a total of 413 ele mentary schools were also consoli dated, Not all of these however, were of the less than 50 or 32 class. The board fully understands the import ance that is usually attached to any type of school in any community and no consolidations were made without serious consideration being given to every factor. The result rep resents the best thought and the earnest effort of this group to carry out the intent of the law and to build for the state a better school system.” Three Reasons lor Decrease The board gave three reasons for the decreased number ol teachers, as follows: 1—The increased teaching load contained In the new school act; 2. —The consolidations effected by this board—it was found in many in stances that a small school oould be very easily placed in a larger one without the additional teacher; 3. —The increase in average daily attendance for the past year was not equal to that of recent years It was said the board would im mediately notify all counties of the teacher allotments, after which the allotments of funds for all school purposes would be undertaken Lily On Rampage To Beat Lawndale Rum Start Pouring Arrows Plata In Late Innlnrv -Score Is 11 To 10. The Lily Mill baseball team, playing In the city park here yesterday, turned the tables on Lawndale, hut it took a lot of runs to do it. The final score, after some heavy scoring in the late innings, was II to 10 "Big Boy" Peters, hurling for the Lilies, was invincible for seven in nings and had not been touched for a base blow. But at that point he weakened and his supporting cast also became a bit wobbly. Lawn dale chased over five runs and from that point on it was a matter of seeing which could shove the most tallies across the plate. After the Lily club batted Wray out of the box, Whlsnant went in and held the Shelby team pretty well at his mercy. Peters went the entire route for Ills team. Tripp was the all around star for the Lily club. Shelby Boxers Win Titles At Morehead City Spangler And Carr Get Title* At Camp Glenn For Soldier Bov*. (By RAT BROWNi Damp Glenn.
