Excerpt from Special Instructions for the Organization of Rural Graded Schools
To Trustees and Teachers:
The growth of rural graded schools employing two teachers or three teachers has brought better educational facilities to nearly 300 districts containing nearly 25,000 children.
This bulletin is reprinted for four reasons: -
1. To emphasize the necessity of careful organization, especially in the first four grades. The daily programs for two-teacher and three-teacher schools are especially recommended for careful examination. Every school receiving State aid must file with the State Superintendent a copy of each teacher"s daily program before this aid can be paid.
2. To call attention to the supplementary reading books, and, incidentally, to the 1914 Library List.
3. To urge proper equipment in each classroom. In many schools this minimum equipment can be improved, especially in blackboards, maps and desks.
4. In the hope of stimulating lagging communities to take advantage of the rural graded school Act.
Each school should file at the end of the first month its application for State aid during the current year. All such applications should reach the State Superintendent between December 1st and December 15th.
If principals and teachers would forward specimen programs without written requests, their co-operation would facilitate the handling of applications by the State Department of Education.
At the close of the session each principal should file his annual report with the State Superintendent of Education, the County Superintendent of Education, and the Clerk of the Local Board of Trustees. Schools failing to forward this report are liable to forfeit their right to State aid the ensuing year.
The three-teacher school guarantees adequate instruction. South Carolina needs at least 500 such educational centers. The present development points to the establishment of many additional high schools and rural graded schools during 1914-15.
