{ The audit presented by the Board ol’|

Austin and Company was studied b,v‘
ithe Grand Jury and rejected for thc'
reason that it is incomplete and we|
condem any future audits that de thl

Peation wag fortunate in seeuring Fed-|
- tral Aid for three menths, for thel
- Ellabell, Pembroke and Clyde School
' Districts for teachers salaries only at|
i the ccenclusion of the county term. W{:i
- also secured aid for.the coloreq schoo!
lin the Ways Distriet for two moaths.
The Ways High School was unable to
| qualify for the ¥ederal Aid due to its

' all white schools of the eounty to main-|
"tain a normal school term of nine
mgonthe for the term 1933-34. i
[ The cnly cxpense incident to the

At the beginning of the bankg holi-{

catior. owed the Pembroke National
| Bank $2500.00. We had on deposit ap-|:
| pczimately $855.00 leaving a net in
debtedness of approximately $1650.00 |/
We have improved the standards off
| the teachers cf the ccunty as well as
many other improvements. For the |
| firet time in the history of the county|
every regular teacher is cither a nor
mal school or college graduate, The ]
Ways Conjolidated High School has
lbcen officially reccgnizeq as an accre- *
| dited high school. This means that|'
every white child in the courty now;’
’hns the opportunity of securing a high
i scheol education while living at home.
‘ The colored schools of the county;!
were operated for a five months term,:'
with the exception of the Pembroke |
Celered School and the colored schools|
in the Ways School District. Thcsuz
were conducted for the period of ’six"
