PREFACE

The facts set forth in this report show that the schools of Wilson
County have made considerable progress during the past ten years.

We now have five standard high schools in the county—Wilson,
Stantonsburg, Black Creek, Rock Ridge, and Elm City. By the end
of 1924-25 we shall add Lucama and Gardner’s to the list of standard
high schools for white children and the Wilson Colored School to the
list of standard high schools for colored children. We have good school
buildings for all the white children, except at Town Creek.

We still have the task of equipping all the elementary schools with
such teaching equipment in the matter of libraries, maps, globes, and
apparatus as will put them in the Standard Elementary School Class
as defined by the N. C. State Department of Education.
We still have the task before us of unifying and standardizing the
instruction given in all our schools. We must have more and better
supervision df the work done in the schools,

We still have the task of making broader our courses of study and of
extending the benefits of the schools to the adult population of the
county.

There is no reason why our school buildings cannot be made the
centers for many forms of extension teaching and community better-
ment. i

We still have the task of increasing the daily attendance of the chil-
dren and of eliminating the over-age pupils in the grades. Possibly the
most expensive item of our school expense is irregular attendance.

We still have the task of providing suitable school buildings for the
colored children in many parts of the county.

Finally, let me express my thanks and grateful appreciation to all t
people of the county who have had a part in making possible the school
progress set forth in this report. In the name of the children and their
welfare, I make. bold to ask the continued codperation and support of
every citizen who loves his county and its future, to the end that our
schools may become entirely worthy of the great task committed to them.

Cuartes L. Coon,
Superintendent of Schools.

I. COUNTY-WIDE SCHOOL TAX ELECTION, 1918

The following is a brief history of the county-wide school tax election
held on January 18, 1918:

aA. ATEMENT ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS

To the People of*Wilson County:

The general county school tax is suflicient to run our public schools 4%
months and pay most of the white teachers only $40 per month. A few white
teachers who are principals of two-teacher schools are paid § a month for
this short term. The State supplemented our school term only 10 days last
year. It is impossible to get good teachers at such salaries for 5 months in
12 months. One of two things can be done:

1. The County Board of Education can increase the salaries of teachers out
of the general school fund now provided, which will mean that the county
school term will have to be reduced to less than 4 months. Then the county
board will be forced to ask for a special county tax levy to run the schools
four months as the State Constitution requires. If that were done, the 18
districts which are now levying a special school tax and which have school
terms of 7 to 9 months will have to pay their part of this special county tax,
made necessary by the fact that there are 30 other districts in the county
which are not now making any effort to help themselves to have better schools
by increased school taxation.

2. The other thing the County Board of Education can do is to submit to
the peop!e of the whole county the question of levying a special school tax of
not more than 30 cents on the $100 worth of property in all the school districts,
which is the same tax our 18 local tax districts now pay to supplement their
part of the general county school fund. If such a special tax were voted,
then every school district in Wilson County would have at least a seven
months school term and no district would pay more school tax than is now
paid by Evansdale, Parker’s, or any other local tax district we now have.

The County Board of education, therefore, intends to appeal to the people
of the county to vote the special school tax mentioned above. It will be well
in this connection for all to remember four things:

1. All legal voters of the county will be entitled to register and vote whether
they live in any one of the present local tax districts or not. The public
schools are a county interest and every voter may have a voice in making
those schools better, not only in his own district but in every other district.

2. If the people of the county fail to approve the proposed local tax for all
our 48 school districts, then the 18 local tax districts now in existence remain
as they are.

3. If those who now live in our 18 local tax districts are indifferent to this
question and fail to vote for this county local tax, then we see no way by
which we can avoid raising the meager short term teachers’ salaries now

and that will make an increased county tax levy for schools an absolute
Surely it is not fair to ask the 18 districts now helping themselves
e their school taxes unless they say by their votes they desire that done.

4. Many of the schoolhouses of the county are as poor and as devoid of good
furniture and equipment as they well can be. The school law makes it obliga-
tory that every district bear at least one-half the expense of building and
repairing its own schoolhouse. Without a district local tax, most of our
schoolhouses must remain poor and there is no help for it except to decrease
the present short school term.

 
Tue Pusric Scuoors or Witson County

In conclusion, we are certain that the school affairs of this county have
been managed with intelligence and economy. But the general school funds
have remained about the same for the last 4 or 5 yi During that time the
cost of everything has greatly increased. We simply cannot longer conduct
the schools on the money we have without reducing the term and thus making
a special tax a certainty, unless the people will adopt ‘the local tax measure
now proposed. We confidently believe the people of the county will stand
behind the plan proposed to better the children’s schools. We are, therefore,
asking every citizen of the county to aid in this vital cause.

Respectfully submitted,
E. J. Barnes,
B. J. THompson,
C. E. BRAME,
County Board of Education,

IV. A SHORT HISTORY TOWN OF WILSON SCHOOLS

At a mass meeting of the citizens of Wilson, held during the week of
July 8, 1881, a committee of five were appointed to recommend trustees
and to take such steps as might be necessary to establish a graded school
for white children. At a meeting held on July 15, 1881, the following
persons were elected trustees: T. J. Hadley, president; M. Rountree,
treasurer; M. T. Moye, secretary; K. H. Winstead, F. W. Barnes, R. J.
Taylor, G. W. Blount, H. C. Moss, G. D. Green, and Warren Woodard.
This committee proceeded to raise the necessary funds by private sub-
scription to conduct the school for one year. The Wilson Advance of
August 26, 1881, announced the following teachers for the session 1881-
1882; J. L. Tomlinson, superintendent, J. F. Bruton, Mrs. E. W. Adams,
Mrs. W. F. Mercer, and Miss M. A. Hearne, assistants. It was also
announced that the school would open on September 5, 1881, in the
Wilson Collegiate Seminary building, the site of the present residence of
Mr. J. T. Wiggins.

On September 2, 1881, the books to be used in the school during 1881-
1882 were announced as follows: New American Spellers, Appleton’s
Readers, New American Arithmetics, Mitchell’s New Geographies, Reed
& Kelloge’s Grammars, Moore’s School History of North Carolina,
Goodrich’s Primary History U. S., Barnes’ U. S. History, Spencerian
System of Penmanship, and Worchester’s School Dictionaries.

On September 23, 1881, the enrollment was 250 pupils. In October,
1881, George M. Lindsay, of Rocky Mount, was added to the teaching
force. The total expenses of the first year’s operations of the school were
$4,651.

During the year 1883, the idea of conducting the school by private
donations was abandoned and a special school tax was voted; the taxes
of white property owners going to the white school and the taxes of
colored property owners going to the colored school. This race division
of the school taxes was declared unconstitutional by our State Supreme
Court at the September, 1886, term. The Wilson Graded School closed
its 1886-87 term in May, 1887, and the graded school idea was aban-
doned for four years because the majority of the people of this com-
munity were then opposed to public schools for negro children at public
expense. But in 1891 the people reversed themselves and voted to estab-
lish schools for white and negro children by public taxation.

V. FACTS ABOUT SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION, 1917-24

The following maps graphically set forth the progress made cles
the past seven years in school consolidation. In 1917 only me Dee
town high school offered a standard high school course. The 2a a
high schools were not standard schools. This year we have ae Ik ger
Elm City, Stantonsburg, Rock Ridge, and Wilson on the list o ce ard
high schools. By the end of 1924-25 we shall add Lucama and Gardner’s

to the list.

XVIII. SUGGESTIONS AND DIRECTIONS FOR PRINCIPALS
AND TEACHERS, 1924-25

It is very necessary that all principals and teachers observe the following
directions, which should be carefully read and considered at the first teachers’
meeting, held on Saturday before the opening day of the schools:

1. INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT FINANCIAL MATTERS

1. The salaries of the truck drivers fixed by the Board of Education is as
follows For one short route, for two short routes, $7.50; for one long
route, $7.50; for two long routes, $10.

2. The room rent fixed for teachers’ homes by the Board of Education is as
follows: $6 for Black Creek and Gardner’s for Stantonsburg, Saratoga,
St. Mary’s, Buckhorn, Sims, Bullock’s, Lamm’s, New Hope, and Rock Ridge.
Principals will collect the rent each month and turn it over to the superin-
tendent of schools within ten days after the close of each school month,

3. The checks for teachers’ salaries and orders for other school expenses will
be made out by principals as follows: For Toisnot Township, P. T. Fugate,
Elm City; for Gardner’s, J. B. E , R. 5, Wilson; for Stantonsbu J.
Graham, Stantonsburg; for Sarat¢ R. D. Gray, R. 2, Stantonsbu
Black Creek, F. E. Howard, Black Creek; for Cr Roads, John A. Moore,
Lucama; for Spring Hill, Paul Ricks, R. 8, Kenly; for Old Fields, George A.
Short, R. 2, Wilson; for Taylor’s, Miss Eliza Parker, R. 1, Wilson.

4, The above principals will make three pay-roll sheets: one for salaries of
teachers; one for truck drivers and janitc me for all other expenses.

N. B. Separate bills and order for supplies for the light plants must be
submitted, as this must be kept as a separate account. <A bill must accompany
every order.

The principals at Evansdale, St . Town Creek, Scott’s, Sims, Bul-
lock’s, and Lamm’s will submit their reports by Saturday noon after the close
of the school month to the proper principals in order that checks and orders
may be made out promptly. The principals who attend to the making out of
checks and orders will send them in to the superintendent of schools, with
proper pay-rolls, bills, ete., by Wednesday night after the close of the school
month, in order that the teachers’ checks may be approved and proper county
checks written for the orders sent in. The office of the superintendent of
schools will then undertake to have all checks ready and in the hands of the
proper principals by Saturday morning after the close of the current school
month.

If the principals will carry out the above instructions, they will greatly
facilitate the business side of the conduct of the schools. This office cannot be
prompt, unless you act promptly.

2. SOME G@ JRAL SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CARE OF SCHOOL
PROPERTY AND GROUNDS

1. Let us try during this year to get all the school grounds beautified—get
some grass on the front yards, some trees and shrubbery planted where they
should be planted and the playgrounds put in proper shape.

2. Then let us try to get enough interest aroused during the year to enable
us to take care of the grounds, light plants, ete., during the vacation. The
interest of the committee and other citizens, the interest of the women and
children of the community can be enlisted.

3. At your first teachers’ meeting plan to take up and carry on a program
this year to put some good pictures on the walls of the building.

4, Principals should see that the janitor closes and locks the puilding at the
end of each day; see that all toilet fixtures and other fixtures are securely
closed to conserve the water pressure, thus saving needless expense of pump-
ing water; see that no lights are turned on to burn during the night, ete.

5. Principals will remind teachers not to permit curtains to be drawn down
over open windows, to be lashed by the wind or wet by rain. The children
ought not to be permitted to adjust curtains and windows, except at the
direction of the teacher or the principal.

6. Principals and teachers should train all pupils to clean their shoes before
entering the building. The children must be taught this habit of cleanliness ;
one or two injunctions are not enough to form this habit. It will take the
constant attention of teachers for a considerable time.

7. Principals and teachers must see to it that children do not litter up the
rooms, the halls, and the grounds with waste paper. It is the sorriest kind
of attitude to assume that some one else will clean up the dirt and litter due
to your thoughtlessness. Let us instill, then, by constant teaching habits of
neatness and cleanliness.

8. It is not enough that children be taught to keep the grounds and the
building clean. We must teach them to keep their bodies and clothes clean
by the use of plenty of water and soap. Let teachers and principals have
private conferences with all children who come to school without proper
attention to cleanliness. A few words kindly spoken in private will usually
result in greater attention to cleanliness. Then, teachers should see that
children do not handle their books with soiled hands. We have made provi-
sion in every building for washing hands.

9. The appearance of the children’s books is a good indication of the effi-
ciency of a teacher. Principals and teachers can well afford to teach all
pupils good habits in the care of books and other tools of learning. Torn
and soiled books are unsightly and detract from the appearance of the school-
room. Books cost much money and their proper care is a matter of thrift
which no school can safely neglect to teach.

10. Oftentimes at the end of the school year many books can be found left
in the desks and lying around the building. It is an easy matter to have
children take all their books home at the end of the term or when they with-
draw from school. This is another matter of cleanliness and thrift which
sadly needs attention by many schools. Let us see that we do not fail in this
particular.

11. Principals and teachers must exercise constant care to see that children
do not leave hats, coats, overshoes, umbrellas, and other property in the school
building over night. And there should be constant care to see that all kinds
of things do not collect in the school rooms, in the halls, and in the closets, and
thus become sources of filth and ugliness. We badly need a course in teaching
children and teachers to see dirt and will its removal!

12. I shall confidently expect every principal and every teacher to do his
best to carry out the above suggestions. It is a tragedy to spend time teach-
ing hygiene out of a book, amid filthy and dirty surroundings, to boys and
girls who sadly need a bath and who have not learned to keep themselves
clean and their surroundings clean.

3. SOME DEFINITE RULES FOR THE CARE OF THE BUILDING AND
CONDUCT OF PUPILS

a. Every pupil and every teacher shall go to his own room on arrival at
the school building in the morning and begin the day’s work.

 

Tue Pusric Scuoors or Wirson Country

(This means to do away with playing around the building before school
hours, with loitering in the halls and in the toilets, visiting around the build-
ing, ete. ete. It simply means what it says. This is the orderly, common
sense, business-like thing to do. Teachers and pupils can thus use the best
part of the day to do something worth while, rather than to aid in messing
up the buildings and the toilets, as well as promoting general noise making
and disorder. The halls and the schoolrooms are not for play, or for noise,
or for general disorder, but for work and training in habits of good order
and cleanliness. )

b. The principal and the teachers will work out a schedule for the use of
the fountains and the toilets, either before or after recess periods, also imme-
diately before and immediately after school, under the supervision of a teacher
and the janitor or the supervision of two or more teachers. (This means, for
example, that you could water and send all first-grade pupils who need to go
to the toilets just before school, just before recesses, and last thing in after-
noon. No other than first graders are in the toilets or getting water at the
times scheduled for first graders to get water and to go to the toilets. In
short, each group or grade will use the toilets and the fountains at certain
definite times during the day. All who must use the toilets during school
hours should secure permission from the principal, so that he may know who
and how many pupils are out of the rooms at any one time. We must abolish
the indiscriminate excusing of pupils from their rooms during school hours.
By making and enforcing such a rule, you will eliminate the necessity of the
constant stream of children going to the toilets all during school hours.
Rarely will a pupil need to be excused during the time he should be studying
or reciting his lessons. Such a rule and plan will enable you to supervise
the conduct of all pupils in the toilets and in other parts of the pbuilding.
Only by some such plan can you hope to keep your building and the toilets
clean and wholesome. Of course, you will not permit more children to go to
the toilets at one time than the capacity of the toilets.)

c. No pupil should be permitted to enter the building during any recess
period. (If the weather is inclement, do not send pupils out of doors at recess
periods. But when pupils are sent out at recess time they should stay out.
Running in and out of the building, playing up and down the halls, and the
like are not the marks of an orderly school. You can never keep your build-
ing or the toilets clean as long as you do not make the rule above suggested.
Above all, do not dismiss pupils in bad weather to collect in the halls and to go
indiscriminately to the toilets, ete., etc. But use the plan suggested above.)

d. Eyery pupil shall clean his shoes on entering the school building. (Teach-
ers could practice this rule themselves and get their pupils to practice it, much
to the promotion of the cleanliness and better appearance of our school build-
ings. We can’t get pupils to respect a place in which this rule is not enforced.)

e. On rainy d and on other days, when children cannot use the play-
ground, the rece time should be shortened. (But it should never be under-
stood that the children are to be dismissed on such days to run up and down
the halls, and the like. If you have in force the rule about going to the toilets,
then your children will eat their lunch in their rooms on bad days where no
junch room is provided, and not leave their own rooms. On such days of
course, the windows of the schoolrooms should be raised and some physical
exercises, led by the teacher, should be a part of all recess periods. )

f. Children who wait on a truck after school should be left in direct charge
of a teacher, either in a schoolroom or on the playgrounds. (Such pupils
should be lined up in proper order and put on the truck. They should never
be permitted to run in disorder to get on the truck. We must have no more
accidents due to failure in this respect on the part of principal and teachers.)

g. Children must not be left at recess periods in the rooms or on the grounds
without the supervision of some teacher. (The practice in vogue in some
schools of all teachers leaving the building and the grounds at lunch time
should be changed. <A schedule of yard and house duty for teachers should
be made out by the principal and his teachers, so that there may be oversight
of pupils at all recess times.)

4, SUGGESTIONS FOR KEEPING SCHOOL RECORDS

1. Registers:

a. The principal should see that each register sheet is properly made out
that every detail is entered properly. He must take time to check
every page of every register. This means to see:

(a) That the pupil’s real name is properly entered; not his nick-
name or pet name, etc.

(b) That the work done this year is entered fully and accu rately
as to textbooks and pages covered.

(c) That all conditions are properly recorded, which means to indi-
cate exactly what must yet be done to gain promotion.

“(d) That the summary sheet is made out accurately, both as to
children 7-14 and all pupils.

b. See that promotions during the year are properly accounted for in your
records. Duplicate enrollment is to be avoided and a register sheet
for work done in each grade is to be filed. Each pupil promoted
during the year will have two register sheets—one for work done and
time spent in the lower grade and one for work done and time spent
in the higher grade.

c. Promotions from sixth grade must be very carefully done. Be sure all
sixth-grade pupils are really prepared for Junior High School work
before promotion.

d. Principals should see at the end of the first month that the register is
being kept as indicated on front cover page.

2. Permanent Record Envelopes:

a. After the principal checks each register at the end of the year, have
teachers tear out register sheets and place them in the permanent
record envelopes and properly fill out the face of those envelopes.

pb. See that you file together all active permanent record envelopes by
grades, so that we shall have these for the opening of school next
fall in usable form.

c. See that you file in alphabetical order all permanent inactive records,
so that they can be consulted easily. Do not file active and inactive
records together.

38. The School Census :

a. See that you have a census card for all persons 6-21 living in your
township or district at the end of the school year. This list includes
pupils away at other schools, married persons under 21, ete.

b. Separate all inactive census cards from the active cards. Make up a
summary card for each township.

ec. Have some pupils make a copy of all your additional active census
cards for the Wilson office.

d. Turn into the Wilson oflice all inactive census cards or make duplicates
and turn in the duplicates; keep an active census file in your office
at all times. The inactive file will be in the Wilson office. You may
keep a duplicate inactive file in your oflice if you desire to do so.

Aa8Le wa yay Sewers Ian rede NRA REE

Tue Pusuic ScHoots or Witson County 89

e. Please remember to do the following things in keeping your census:
(a) Fill out this year a new census card for every pupil not in your
school last year.

(b) The pupils can tell you or their teachers of every person not in
school between the ages of 6-21. They can and will gladly help
you to get a census card filled out for all such persons. Re-
member that marriage does not increase or diminish the age of
anybody. If a married person is not over 21, he or she is to be
in your school census. In carrying out this plan, it will be
necessary that principals, teachers, and pupils have this census
matter constantly in mind. This plan will not work, if it is
delayed till the last few weeks of the school term.

(ec) The pupils can tell you of the death of any person 6-21, or tell
you to what school in the county pupils move, so that you may
make proper entry on such persons’ census cards. Tf a child
moves out of this county. find out to what county he goes, so
that I may notify the proper superintendent in order that such
children may be looked after and not escape the compulsory
law, if they are subject to the same. Principals should send
the census cards of all persons who die or remove to another
district or out of this county to the county superintendent of
schools at once, indicating on each card the proper facts. Only
in this way will we be able to keep our census usable and
up-to-date. The children who are going to move will gladly
inform teachers of all the facts, if teachers will only take a bit
of trouble to find out. But if you wait till the end of the school
year, the facts cannot be had oftentimes.

(d) In townships in which more than one school is situated, there must
be cobperation between each principal. This codperation should
consist principally in dividing the township so that each prin-
cipal may know fer what part of the township he is to be held
responsible. If the children of a part of one township attend
school in another township, the census cards of all such section
and pupils should be filed and kept by the school such pupils
attend,

(e) Sometimes a child becomes six years old during the school term
and does not enter school, All such children must be listed in
the census of the district as soon as practicable after their sixth
birthday.

(f) Do not fail to make out a withdrawal ecard for every pupil who
leaves school permanently, or who moves to another school, or
who moves out of the county. And do not fail to send promptly
those withdrawal cards to the Wilson office. Only by the
prompt attention of principal and teachers in reporting the
withdrawals of pupils will we be able to secure the proper
enforcement of the school attendance laws.

N. B. Especial care must be taken that your age records are consistent this
year with last year. You should carefully check your
records to find any variations as to the ages of pupils given this ye
previous years. You must eliminate all such variations and not turn in the
census card of any pupil with his age on the census card one thing
on the enrollment card, ete.

4, Enrollment Cards:

a. Turn into the Wilson office a duplicate enrollment card for each pupil
who enters your school this year, not later than 15 days after enroll-
ment.

b. This will furnish us a means of checking enrollment against the census,
as well as to enable us to eliminate duplicate enrollment from our
final yearly enrollment figures.

5. Property Inventory:
a. Add items to inventory of school property in teachers’ homes, school-
rooms, etc., added this year.
b. Use the inventory forms on file in your office which contain the inven-
tory of all property at the end of last year. Do not duplicate these ;
only add new items.

6. Records of Teachers:

a. The principal should have a complete record of all his teachers.
b. This record should include:
(4) Name and home address.
(2) Kind of certificate, class, date of expiration.
(3) Grade or subjects taught this year.
(4) Experience (a) in this school; (b) in other schools.
(5) Education and professional training.
(6) Salary this year.
c. Principals will find the application blank a convenient form for keeping
the above information as to teachers,

7. Records—truck drivers and truck routes, with daily schedules:
a. The principal’s office should have a record of the names of the truck
drivers and their salaries.
b. The principal’s office should also have a record of the different truck
routes and the daily schedule of each truck.

5. SUGGESTIONS AS TO JANITORS, TRUCKS, ETC.

a. Each principal should have a clear understanding with the janitor as to
his duties. He should not tolerate teachers or pupils giving orders to the
janitor. All orders to the janitor must be given by the principal in person or
in writing, and by no one else. Do not send word to the janitor by pupils,
requesting him to do something. Send for him and tell him yourself what you
wish done.

b. See that the janitor stays in the boys’ toilet at least a part of every recess
period, until your school is well organized. Some woman teacher should also
yemain in the girls toilet a part of every recess until your school is in good
order.

c. It would be well to appoint a house committee of boys and girls to see that
good order is kept in the toilets and around the grounds, and the building ;
that no damage is done to the building or to any of the property of the school.

d. You should have frequent meetings with your truck drivers. You should
by all means work out at once for each driver a daily schedule, which should
be reduced to writing, the principal keeping a copy and the driver a copy. This
schedule should indicate the time the driver is to leave home and the time he
is to arrive at school, as well as the time he is expected to arrive at important
points on the route, both on the way to school and on the way home. In doing
this you will need the constant help of your school committee, who know all
the roads of the district.

Sy eee ate ep y Sree ree ane setiotsAet yea LEEreeeEN

Tur Pustic Scuoors or Wrtson County 9t

e. The route each driver makes should be entered in a book which you
should keep for that purpose, as well as to enter each driver’s daily schedule.
All changes in routes and schedules should be made only after consultation with
the chairman or some member of the committee. As soon as possible, all such
changes should be reported to the full committee for final approval.

f. You must not fail to insist on children walking who live within one and
one-half miles of the school. And do not permit a truck route to be estab-
lished over a bad road. Children must expect to walk out to convenient
places to meet the trucks, rather than to have the trucks go to every child’s
home.

g. You should constantly warn drivers to stop at railroad crossings, not to
drive faster than 12 miles an hour, not to use the trucks for any purpose
except to carry children to and from school, and to report any misconduct on
the trucks. Drivers must not smoke or use bad language, nor must they
permit the pupils to do so. Ifa driver smokes or uses bad language, or uses
his truck for improper purposes, or permits such violations of the truck rules,
or permits pupils to fight to and from school, or drives too fast, you must
dismiss him at once. We must not tolerate any of these thing Let your
drivers understand that you will dismiss them, not for the second or third
such offense, but for the very first offense.

h. The principal must constantly warn the janitor not to let the ashes collect
in the ash box of the boiler or to permit litter in and around the boiler room.

6. SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE CONDUCT OF TEACHERS’ HOMES

a. At the first teachers’ meeting on Saturday before school begins, make
some good and necessary rules for the conduct of the teachers’ home. These
rules should provide for a rising hour, a going to bed hour, the hours for meals,
the times visitors may be received in the home, the conditions under which
teachers may leave the home at night or day in the company of young men,
etc. If teachers ride around at night with men without chaperones, if they
receive visitors all during the week, if they keep late hours, if they hold
dances and card parties in the home, or attend such parties elsewhere, you
may expect adverse criticism. The home should be conducted as a_ good,
decent home ought to be conducted. Due regard must be paid to public
opinion which usually condemns card playing and dancing by teachers. Your
home should be a model home.

b. I suggest that the going to bed hour be not later than 10:30 p. m., and
that Saturdays and Sundays are often enough to have men callers in the home.
If we have any teachers who refuse to codperate with the principal in making
and observing proper rules for the good conduct of the home and the principal
fails to report them to me at once, then I shall consider that the principal has
failed to perform the most important duty our school system and good order
impose on him. Frankly I shall do my utmost to rid the school system of such
offending teachers, and also of principals who will wink at or condone mis-
conduct because they have not the moral courage to stand up for the practice
of good conduct and of high ideals on the part of those who teach the children
of the future. We simply can’t afford to stand for anything which will bring
disrepute on the homes which ought to be models for the future home makers
of the county.

7. SUGGESTIONS AS TO THE CONDUCT OF PUPILS

Principals and teachers can destroy their usefulness in a very short time by
permitting the children to do as they please. Here are some things which
ought not to be tolerated in any school:

a. Vile and filthy language.

b. Fighting and disorder on the grounds or on the way to and from school.

 
 

 

 

 

92 Tue Pustic Scuoors or Wirson County

c. Failure to have all pupils go quietly to their rooms on arrival in the
morning.

d. Failure to have pupils go out of and come into the building in good order.

e. Dirty and filthy toilet rooms and a dirty schoolhouse and dirty pupils.

f. Ill-kept school grounds.

eg. Teachers falling in love with pupils.

h. Permitting a few disorderly and immoral boys who will not reform to
remain in school.

i. Running in and out of the building at recess periods.

j. Loud and noisy conduct in the halls during class changes and while going
in and out of the building.

k. Failure to demand obedience at all times and failure to secure willing co-
operation from the pupils in establishing an orderly school community.

1. Failure to maintain high standards of scholarship.

8. OTHER REGULATIONS

(1) Every teacher must make an earnest effort to keep well and physically
fit for work each day. No substitute teacher can be empioyed, except on the
approval of the principal. All substitute teachers’ employment and the number
of days employed and the names of the teachers for whom employed must be
reported promptly to the superintendent of schools.

(2) Substitute teachers must be paid by those regular teachers for whom
they do substitute work, not to exceed two-thirds of the regular teacher’s daily
salary.

) Teachers will not be excused frem school duty for any cause, except
for personal illness or serious illness or death in the teacher’s immediate family.

(4) All teachers must follow a daily program of work which shall never
be less than six hours per day. Daily programs suited for each grade and
approved by the superintendent of schools shall be followed by all teachers.

(5) Variation from the daily program will not be tolerated, except such
variation has the approval of the principal. Our schools must do honest and
eflicient work. They cannot do that kind of work, if teachers do not strictly
adhere to a daily schedule which provides a time and a place for all subjects.

(6G) Principals must not give permission for teachers to vary the daily
program of school work, except in rare instances. All outside matters which
demand such yariation should first have the approval of the superintendent
of schools.

(7) Bach principal should make out a daily schedule of his activities. A
place on that schedule must be assigned to the supervision of the classroom
teachers’ work. This daily schedule should be sent to the superintendent of
schools for his approval and suggestions.

(8) All teachers are expected to codperate to increase the number of books
in the school library, to cobperate to secure current professional pe iodicals
for their own use and other periodicals for the use of their pupils, and to
codperate to the end that all our schools be placed as soon as possible on the
North Carolina list of standard high or standard elementary schools.

(9) We shall expect every teacher heartily to cojperate with her principal
and with the superintendent of schools to improve the efliciency of the teaching
done in every school.

(10) You will observe the following rules as to firs ide pupils:

a. Children who will become six years old by November 1st will be admitted
to first grade at the beginning of the school term.

b. All pupils who intend to enter the first grade this school year must do so
during the first two weeks of the fall term.

igheSaie Mente StawsraniaverewetioieneisneaverseearenyEn pt

Tur Pusric Scuoors or Witson County 93

c. After the first two weeks of the fall term have passed no more first-grade
pupils will be admitted this year, unless such pupils can enter a class or a
section of the grade already formed.

d. Pupils who enter the first grade at the fall term opening must attend with
such regularity as to keep up with the class or section to which they are
assigned. If pupils fall behind their class or section, due to inattendance, then
they are to be excluded from school for the remainder of the year. No new
class or Classes are to be formed for such delinquent children.

e. It is the intent and purpose of this rule to enable teachers to organize
their first-grade classes during the first two weeks of the school term, and then
to keep those classes so organized for the year as will enable teachers to do
effective first-grade work.

B. Please keep this copy of suggestions and regulations for reference.
shall expect you to make an honest effort to carry out all these suggestions.

XX. TYPES OF TEACHERS NOT WANTED

1. INQUIRY BLANK
WILSON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Witson, N. C.

Dear.

ire Misses ereaee

has given me your name one who can tell me of her ability as a teacher, etc.

2. Some Wilson teachers, 1928-24, have failed for the following reasons:
(a) lack of knowledge of subject-matter and inability to manage children ; (b)
attention to card playing, dancing and other society interests to the neglect of
their school work; (¢) on account of falling in love with high school pupils ;
(d) on account of keeping the company of sorry men; (e) on account of night
riding without a chaperone; (f) on account of attendance on rotten vaudeville
and sorry moving picture shows; (g) on account of entertaining company until
late hours at night, making good school work next day impossible; (h) on
account of failure to take any vital interest in church and Sunday School work
and other community activities.

3. If you think this applicant will and can avoid all the above sources of
failure, I shall appreciate your saying so. If you think there is doubt about
her having enough good sense to avoid these sources of failure, I shall appre-
ciate your frankness. We are after teachers who are in earnest about doing
what they are paid to do. We prefer that all other kinds go elsewhere.

experience. My N. C. Certificate expires July 1, 192....... I further agree that
I will take a vital interest in church and Sunday School work and other com-

sorry moving picture and vaudeville shows; that I will not fall in love or
become familiar with high school pupils; that I will not attend card and
dancing parties; that I will not fail to use good sense and discretion in the
