Above High School grade.
_County Training Schools._—The organization of the “county training
school,” is a comparatively new but promising movement. There are 27
schools of this type in the various Southern States. These schools have
in most cases done work through the ninth grade, and in some cases
through the tenth grade, including in the last two years some elementary
teacher training. In addition much industrial work has been included in
the curriculum, the aim being to make these schools articulate as nearly
as possible with the life of the people in the rural communities and the
type of work their graduates will be called upon to do.
They are supported partly by private funds and partly by public funds.
The State Fund provides about $15,000 a year for these schools, while
about $35,000 is provided by the Counties. The following table presents
the more important facts for these schools:
