Swain County, which has very few Negro children, also agreed. (Their contribution toward the building would have been approximately $5,000) but Macon County has so far refused to cooperate. We are still hoping that they will change their minds—possibly under State pressure. We do not intend to wait until after this legislature and then build or remodel our own Negro school if the consolidation cannot be worked out. While considering, planning, and actually building, under the program of consolidation, it has also been necessary to expand greatly the bus transportation system. In the school year 1946-47 the schools operated 21 buses in this county, transporting 2,295 children. This year we are operating 36 buses transporting 3,261 children. The State Board of Education has complete control of the bus routes. Local school officials can only dec- ommend. A bus cannot go on a route not approved by the State. Actually the counties or local units have to purchase each and every bus; after the original purchase the State makes all replacements. Naturally road conditions affect the bus routes greatly and in fact control, in some cases, consolidation. Such a case is well illustrated by the Canada consolidated school, completed this year. Only this past summer were some of the roads completed so as to permit bus travel. This has been true in one or two other instances in recent years. Even now, after the recent rural road development, buses in certain sections of this county have trouble in getting through on schedule during severely cold or rainy weather. In talking of buses it is impossible to leave out the driver program. The pay scale eliminates the employment of competent, reliable, and qualified adult drivers. The State pays $20.00 per month regardless; the local counties must supplement that. In this county we have been able to add only $26.50 per month. It is true that the driver is not working during the entire day but his hours are such that it is impossible for a driver to have other good employment. Some of the more wealthy local units have been able to increase this supplement and secure good drivers but the burden is too great for a county of this size and wealth. Last year driver supplements cost this county over $9,000, not too large an item but when compared to the school's total operating funds from county sources its importance increases. One of the bright features about the driver problem has been the record of student drivers throughout the state. They have proved to be very competent, reliable and, on the whole, superior to the average adult driver. As was stated previously we have felt from the start of the program that our first efforts should be directed toward physical improvements; however, it was obvious that we should keep in mind the improvement of the teaching staff. During the 1946-47 school year the county had 40 teachers with Primary B or less certificates. It was thought that many of these teachers could and would raise their certificates, if given the time and a little urging. Mr. Crawford, Supt., announced at his first teacher's meeting of the 1947-48 school year, the thinking of the Board on this very important matter. The teachers responded wonderfully and many did raise their certificates. Others left the county system. For the 1952- 53 school year we have 23 teachers with graduate certificates and 123 with either Primary A, Grammar A or High School A Certificate, none with less. It is to be remembered that the 1945-47 school year was still carrying some of the effects of the war years and that many school systems had found it necessary to take teachers with the lower certificates. The Board has set up the following qualifications for teachers and is following it closely. (Qualification list appears on page 30) Immediately upon assuming office in April 1947 the Board cancelled the position of truant officer, a political plum, and had hoped to employ a supervisor but found it impossible to do so because of lack of funds. The position of truant officer was considered to be an absolutely useless expense. It was thought that, if necessary, this job could be done much better by a visiting teacher or some one who would use reason and logic rather than the threat of force. Attendance in most cases will be found to spring from indifference or need on the part of the parents and can be remedied best through education as to the great benefits to the child or through assistance. In 1949-50 school year we were able to install a supervisory program. It is proving most beneficial and helpful and we now hope that we can expand this program. We have also been able to secure one teacher for retarded or handicapped children. This is a most urgent 25
