THE OAK LEAF 'Tift'-W8 il siireifi '4' ' THE OLD BUILDING-IN USE UNTIL FOUR YEARS AGO Our School-The Present Continued from page one purposes. It lies just the right distance from the railroad and is high enough to assure good drainage and yet level enough to. furnish the best play grounds for the children. At present there are on the school grounds an excellent baseball diamond, two fine out door basket ball courts and a tennis court. Therg is lots of space outside these courts and every day hundreds of boys and girls are at play all over the ten acres. This Spring the local Parent-Teacher Association led in a movement to beautify our grounds with plants and shrubbery. A landscape gardner planned the plantnigs, and a few weeks ago the shrubbery came and is now growing nicely. The pupils have put out numbers of long leaf pines and dog- woods. In a year or so ,we shall have as beautiful school grounds as can be found in our county. The building is the main part of our school plant. It contains twenty four class rooms, a library and an auditorium seating nearly 600. The class rooms are all equipped with the best of everything necessary in the teaching of the child- ren. The desks are the latest type single style. Blackboards are of slate. Light cost far below that usually paid by teachers in homes. Another important part of any school system is the teaching staff. This year our faculty is composed of twenty-four teachers-two me nand twenty two la- dies. All of these teachers have had special training for teaching. Many of them are college graduates. The high school faculty of seven teachers is es- pecially well trained. Every one is a col- lege graduate, some have donergraduate work, and one has secured the master's degree. The elementary and primary teachers are all trained for their work. We have no elementary B certificates and only one or two elementary As. All in all we believe we have a strong facul- ty which is doing a big part in making our school what it is. Besides the twenty four teachers at Four Oaks 'there are four teachers at Royall, two at Parker, and one at Corinth. The most important thing in any school is the student body. The grounds, the buildings, the teachers-these are all here for the one purpose o ftraining the children who come to school. In the Four Oaks district' we have an enroll- ment of over a thousand.
