A goodly number, about three-fourths of the 84 white teachers in the county, were present at the Teachers’ Meeting last Saturday. Dr. J.Y. Joyner, who for 17 years was State Superintendent of schools, was with us and said a few words of encouragement. He was suffering from a severe cold, but could not withstand an invitation to look upon such a fine body of teachers, he said.
In accordance with the usual custom, it was suggested that the schools have holiday both Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving week. Some, however, wish to teach Friday and Saturday and make up the lost days. All who wish to do this can if it is agreeable with the patrons. Some parents like to have their children at home occasionally for two work days in succession.
A few teachers have failed to fill out their information blank in detail—something is left out. Please attend to this at once. Alos, if you desire your record to to into Raleigh with the name of your last certificate, but that certificate has not been sent you yet, please send me your name so that they can look it up in Raleigh and put in on the State Rating as it should be. If attention is not called to this, your old rating will be put down and you will be paid accordingly Some teachers from other states have not received their certificates. Will you please notify me, giving your name and address and the schools you have attended, your credits, etc.
I wish to mail the November Budget next week and it must be complete in detail.
Instead of mailing you direct the Education Week Material, it has all been sent to me, and I have just received it. Teachers can get this material from the office and observe these days later.
--Mrs. J.A. Beam
