It is with regret that I find it necessary to announce that there will be no summer school here for white teachers. It seems that the state is unwilling for us to have one. It is likely that a County Summer School will be held at Yanceyville. Teachers can attend there or at Oriental. However the summer school for colored teachers will be held here as announced, beginning the 1st day of June.
The May Budget is now ready to e sent out to the committeemen. In employing teachers for next year, the committee will please bear in mind that no sub-teachers, that is one holding below an Elementary Certificate, can teach in the County. This is one of the requirements the state makes for counties who wish to participate in the Equaliting(?) Fund. All sub-standard teachers will please bear this in mind and make preparation to raise their certificates.
Olive Hill High school closes this week. Bushy Fork, Bethel Hill and Helena close next week. This will end the session of all rural schools in the county.
Olive Hill is going to see to it that the building and grounds are in fine shape for next year by having a clean-up day on Monday after the school closes. The Board of Education highly appreciates this and wishes to thank the Principal and teachers for this good deed. It is a precedent that we hope all the schools will follow—that of leaving the building and ground sin apple-pie order for next session.
A Trip to Europe
Teachers, if you or any one else, for that matter, desire to take a 36-day trip to Europe, leaving New York June 25th and returning to New York July 31st, for $335, please let me know at once. This is an unusual offer and those who can afford it will do well to avail themselves of this opportunity. Travel is an education in itself.
