Special Services l For the first time, Shelbyville schools this year have had the services of a speech and hearing teacher in the person of Miss Ault. Long a familiar figure at the Booker T. NVashington School, Mr. Fort has recently taken over supervision of our testing program, grading and evaluating the results of achievement and aptitude tests. Modern school systems offer many special services undreamed of by the founders of our public schools. Under the complexities of modern living, more and more problems are being brought to the schools for solution. Checking attendance and solving the problems which hamper students in maintaining regular attendance is the work of Mrs. Chambers, attendance officer. The health problems of students can frequently be solved or at least helped by our school nurse, Mrs. Strait. TB patch tests, vision check-ups, X-rays, hearing tests -these are part of the .activities which keep her so busy. The paper vvorkn of a modern school system- finan- cial reports, tax records, transfers, maintenance expenses, and the interminable tasks of reporting, typing, filing, and record keeping-falls largely on the school board clerk, Mrs. Monfort, and her assistant, Mrs. Laird.
