than in 1930-31. The increase from
year to year, however, has not been
consistent In fact, the record shows
an increase from 1930-31 to 1933-34,
then a decrease to 1937-38, followed
by an increase in 1938-39, and then
followed by decreases each year to
1944-45, when there were 812,826
children enrolled in the State's public
shools. Since 1944-45 enrollment has
climbed steadily to the present figur
914,269, an increase of 101,443 within
seven years.
Membership trends during this per
iod were almost identical to enroll
ment trends. During the entire period
there was an increase of 94,432. How
ever, during this period, there was, a
in case of enrollment, a low point in
1944-45 when membership numbered
759,507. In 1951-52 there were 868,-
769 children in membership, that is on
the roll on the last day of school. Tin.
shows an increase within seven years
of 109,262, a figure greater than the
increase in enrollment during the same
period,
Stated simply, there were fewer
drop-outs, pupils who left school for
various reasons. Drop-outs have not
been constant for the years indicat
ed. For the past four years, however,
there were decidedly fewer drop-outs.
drop-outs during these years as com
, pared with 6, 7, and 8 per cent during
preceding years. The number of drop
outs during these four years was less
than 50,000, . whereas for preceding ,
. years drop-outs totaled from 50,801 to
76,372 annually. ,v v
The trend in number and percentage
of promotions has been upward--from
592,806 in 1930-31 to 808,521 in 1951-1
62, or percentagewise from 70 per
cent to 88.4 per cent w
Non-promotions, complemently, tend
to decrease during this period. There
were 181,534 pupils, 21.6 per cent of
the enrollment who. were not promot
ed at the close of the 1930-31 school
term. In 1951-52 there were 121,
286 fewer non-promotion3, a total of
60,248, or 6.6 per cent of the'enoll
ment .
Poultrymen Can Boos
Profit By Cutting Cost,
The smart businessman is constantly
seeking new methods of efficiency in
order to cut osts and thereby increase
his margin of profit. The same is
true, of the North Carolina poultry
man. R. S. Dearstyne, head of the depart
ment of poultry science, N. C. State
College, says that while Tar Hee!
poultrymen have made great strides
in putting efficiency into the poultry
business, there are still a number of
opportunities. Among the more prom
inent are these:
1. Reducing the number of culls in
flocks. It is estimated that cull chick
ens in North Carolina consume $400,
000 worth of feed each month (near
ly $5,000,000 annually). Dearstyne
thinks many poultrymen, especially
m Donrstvne. This asrain is a question occurs: wnyi 100 oiten,
problem of the individual poultryman. says Dearstyne, the blame is placed
If he will attack this problem vigor-jn me "" " "u'
ously and loiiow tnrougn on a ieea
conservation" program, the profits of i
the industry should Be increased gent-1
ly. '"r:-co-y
3. Reducing the poultry mortality
rate. Mortality in chicken and turkey
flocks cost North Carolina farmers
about $5,000,000 each year. While
medicants can be used with success
in some instances, this procedure is not
the final answer, says Dearstyne. The
annual loss caused by mortality could,
be cut 60 per cent by adopting and
following through with a sound disease-prevention
program.
