School terms for 1926-27 will begin opening over the county Tuesday when the courses offered at Piedmont, Fallston, Lattimore and Mooresboro schools will get under way. Others will have their openings at later days, Waco the 16th of this month, Grover the 23rd, and others up until the latter part of October. While the exact date for the beginning of the Shelby City Schools has not as yet been decided, it will be some time about the middle of September.
The county schools, under the policy inaugurated during the past two or three years, will be more closely bound together than before by the consolidation of six schools at Belwood, to go into effect this term, and the combining of the Roberts and Elizabeth schools recently decided upon. Thirty trucks will take care of the pupils living at a distance from the schools which they attend.
The total enrollment this year is expected to exceed that of last year, which figured for the county exclusive of Shelby and Kings Mountain, 7,219 whites and 2,752 colored. This number is increased by the enrollment of 2,070 white and 425 colored pupils in Shelby and 971 whites with 230 colored at Kings Mountain. School facilities in the section have been increased to take care of the expected growing in enrollment. . . . .
