PART II. STATISTICS, ETC., FOR 1901-1902. 208 Biennial Report of the Reports of City and Town Graded Schools, School Year Ending June 30, 1902. The State Superintendents' reports in the past have not included, except in a limited way, any statistics from the various Graded Schools of the State. In May, 1902, blanks were prepared and sent to Superintendents of Graded Schools requesting them to make reports by July. Most of them have complied with this request. As reports have not been re-quired heretofore, the Superintendents of these schools proba-bly had some difficulty in procuring the necessary informa-tion ; hence, some of the reports are incomplete this year. It is hoped to have accurate reports from all these schools here-after, so that the exact amount of money raised by local taxa-tion will be known and the total amount spent for public edu-cation in Xorth Carolina will be shown. These reports show that 22,338 white children and 10,159 colored children, not reported by the County Superintend-ents, were enrolled in these Graded Schools. The average attendance of white children in these schools was 15,159, and of colored children 5,293. These reports also show that $161,363.62, not included in the receipts of County Treasurers, was raised by local taxation for the main-tenance of these Graded Schools. It is proper to state that the schools of Wilmington and Fayetteville are supported en-tirely by the County ScKool Funds, no special tax being levied for these schools.

Dear Sir:—The Graded Schools of Waynesville were established by Act of the Legislature in February, 1899, ratified by the people in May, and organized in September the same year. The first and only Superintendent is the present incumbent. From the first the people of the town have enthusiastically sup-ported the schools. It has been found that their establishment is the best investment that could possibly have been made, for the town has been on a substantial boom ever since. In September, 1899, the schools opened with six teachers and three hundred and fifty pupils. Another teacher was soon added and the enrollment in both schools reached four hundred. During the next year two other teachers were added, and the enrollment was four hundred and fifty. The year just closed was beyond all question the most successful. Eight teachers in the white school and two in the colored taught five hundred and thirty-eight children. The capacity of the white school building has been reached and a two-thousand-dollar addition is now being put up. This enrollment is phenomenal when it is remembered that the population of the town is less than fifteen hundred. Our course of study extends over nine years, and prepares for college or university. We give three years in Latin, two in algebra and geometry, two in higher English and Rhetoric, one in Physics, and other work that is commensurate. During the first year of the school we began to collect a school library. It was slow at first, but we persevered and added a little here and a little there, until now we have over six hundred volumes. We expect to add another hundred before the fall term opens. Since the organization of the schools, diplomas of graduation have been presented to twelve young women and seven young gentlemen — seven in May, 1901, and twelve in May, 1902. It is believed that these young people are thoroughly indoctrinated with the principles of public education and will do valiant service to advance its cause. We expect to do a far larger work next session. The people of Waynesville are putting their interest and their money into the schools, and they expect an adequate return. Respectfully yours, W. C. Allen, Superintendent City Schools. Superintendent of Public Instruction. 265 Amounts raised by local taxation not reported in County Treas-urers' reports for Graded Schools: Ashboro $997.00 Asheville 16,989.53 Burlington 3,800.00 Charlotte 16,006.12 Concord 7,704.96 Durham 17,118.75 Goldsboro 10,008.05 Guilford College 260.00 Henderson 3,987.48 Hendersonville 720.39 High Point 3,774.76 Kinston 3,757.11 Lexington 1,982,30 Marion 713.79 Monroe 3,080.56 Mount Airy 1,891.00 Mount Olive 1,800.00 New Bern 2,691.64 Oxford 2,138.00 Raleigh 15,353.92 Reidsville 2,924.48 Rockingham 2,500.00 Rocky Mount 5.000.00 Salisbury (appropriated by city) 5,991.00 Selma 700.00 Shelby 2,028.02 Statesville 3,980.36 Tarboro 2,931.25 Washington 2,650.40 Waynesville 1,056.38 Wilson 6.826.76 Winston (appropriated by city) 10,000.00 Total $161,363.62 266 Biennial Report oe the Superintendent of Public Instruction. 26' 268 Biennial Report of the •^aoday uo aouBi^a mox •saoanog •J3JHSH8JX CO CM OS CO co —i ~h —< —I CO -f i~ —i 2 lo CO CM OS CO <N -<f —i -h t- i-i e» os co c Superintendent of Public Instruction. 269 QO CO 270 Biennial Report of the uo aouTCing; CO OS o — 1^ oi c4 OS CO CO t» -H •* -T i-T of iff IM OS 00 OS CO cs op co 53 os -^ eo 01 01 UO (M CC •Sldl9D8'}J •saoavtos •isqiO SO <M M 00 10 Superintendent of Public Instruction. 271 272 Biennial Report oe the - S06I I Mnr Pu«H uo aoui3[i;g 00 CO —I o CO J CO CO I CO K5 OS 00 i CM U5 CM CO 1 I~ —< h-cn co m o -r IM 1 CO OS CO CM 1-1 -H to •s^uaraasjnq •sasodjnj siooqog A^jo •norj'canpa jo pjKog sasuadxg pi«d •noniwripg jo pauog 9Sva\\-^ pi^d shots -suuitioQ s,.ia -jnsB8Jx pi^d U"51CC00ClM(C5S1COOS0t0fO5SCCDD CO OS ci 1r- i—(5 cs\ 1/5J iO OS Tfi CO OS 00 OS CO CM OS CO 1 CM CO OS CO CM CO CM i-i i-H i-1 CN •am** 23 <M f "5 OS CM CO CO CO lO OS CO CO CN 1 CD il CM n 00 CO t* O CO lO OS CD CO CO CM CD 1(5 i CM CO CO S O f !.

PART II.
STATISTICS, ETC., FOR 1901-1902.
208 Biennial Report of the
Reports of City and Town Graded Schools, School
Year Ending June 30, 1902.
The State Superintendents' reports in the past have not
included, except in a limited way, any statistics from the
various Graded Schools of the State. In May, 1902, blanks
were prepared and sent to Superintendents of Graded Schools
requesting them to make reports by July. Most of them have
complied with this request. As reports have not been re-quired
heretofore, the Superintendents of these schools proba-bly
had some difficulty in procuring the necessary informa-tion
; hence, some of the reports are incomplete this year. It
is hoped to have accurate reports from all these schools here-after,
so that the exact amount of money raised by local taxa-tion
will be known and the total amount spent for public edu-cation
in Xorth Carolina will be shown.
These reports show that 22,338 white children and 10,159
colored children, not reported by the County Superintend-ents,
were enrolled in these Graded Schools.
The average attendance of white children in these schools
was 15,159, and of colored children 5,293. These reports
also show that $161,363.62, not included in the receipts of
County Treasurers, was raised by local taxation for the main-tenance
of these Graded Schools. It is proper to state that
the schools of Wilmington and Fayetteville are supported en-tirely
by the County ScKool Funds, no special tax being levied
for these schools.

264 Biennial Report of the
Waynesville, N. C, June 14, 1902.
Hon. J. Y. Joyner, Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir:—The Graded Schools of Waynesville were established
by Act of the Legislature in February, 1899, ratified by the people in
May, and organized in September the same year. The first and only
Superintendent is the present incumbent.
From the first the people of the town have enthusiastically sup-ported
the schools. It has been found that their establishment is
the best investment that could possibly have been made, for the town
has been on a substantial boom ever since.
In September, 1899, the schools opened with six teachers and three
hundred and fifty pupils. Another teacher was soon added and the
enrollment in both schools reached four hundred. During the next
year two other teachers were added, and the enrollment was four
hundred and fifty. The year just closed was beyond all question the
most successful. Eight teachers in the white school and two in the
colored taught five hundred and thirty-eight children.
The capacity of the white school building has been reached and a
two-thousand-dollar addition is now being put up. This enrollment
is phenomenal when it is remembered that the population of the
town is less than fifteen hundred.
Our course of study extends over nine years, and prepares for
college or university. We give three years in Latin, two in algebra
and geometry, two in higher English and Rhetoric, one in Physics,
and other work that is commensurate.
During the first year of the school we began to collect a school
library. It was slow at first, but we persevered and added a little
here and a little there, until now we have over six hundred volumes.
We expect to add another hundred before the fall term opens.
Since the organization of the schools, diplomas of graduation have
been presented to twelve young women and seven young gentlemen
—
seven in May, 1901, and twelve in May, 1902. It is believed that
these young people are thoroughly indoctrinated with the principles
of public education and will do valiant service to advance its cause.
We expect to do a far larger work next session. The people of
Waynesville are putting their interest and their money into the
schools, and they expect an adequate return.
Respectfully yours, W. C. Allen,
Superintendent City Schools.
