a valuation of $595,852 was placed
(in Shelton the value was set at
$354,952), equipment was valued
at $85,092 (Shelton $52,792), the
whole insured for a total value
of $372,550 (Shelton $208,100).
Departing from the realm of
finances, other interesting fig-
ures contained in the annual re-
port showed that a total of 4,620
days of instruction were given
2756 students enrolled in the
county schools. Shelton offered
the fewest number of days with
170, due to ten days lost because
of illness and never made up.
These 2756 pupils rolled up a to-
tal of 370,435 days attendance, or
roughly put in over one thousand
years in the classroom during the
term, had the days been laid end-
to-end. The 1663 students en-
rolled in the Shelton system spent
228,270 days at their studies. Av-
erage daily attendance was com-
puted at 2,170 for the county-at—
individually.
More Boys Than Girls
Boys outnumbered girls by 1,-
430 to 1326 in the entire county
and by 840 to 823 in Shelton.
County schools altogether could
take care of 2916 pupils with
their present facilities. Shelton
schools could handle 1920, the
report states in summarizing seat-
ing capacity. Other figures re-
port 12,698 reference literature
books possessed by all county
schools (of which Shelton has
5000) and 40,402 free textbooks
(of which Shelton has 25,000).
Harstine Island was the only
district to complete a new build—
it being
valued at $3,700. The new Shel-
ton gym, not being completed by
June 30, does not enter into last

Nineteen one-room schools were
maintained in the county system
last year, many of which will
come under scrutiny of the Coun-
ty School Reorganization Commit-
tee which Supt. Martin expects to
name within the next few weeks
under the authority vested by
the last legislature in passing the
school reorganization bill. Only
