These are directories of Stone County Schools for the years 1941-1942 and 1942-1943, compiled by County Superin­tendent Raymond H. Patterson.  Included are lists of schools, admin­istrators, teachers, other employees, and statistics on enrollment, assessed valuation, and tax lev­ies.

 

The “Directory of Stone County Schools, 1941-1942” was published on 17 October 1941.  This 20-page booklet included teachers’ rosters, lists of consolidated school districts and rural schools, and a “recommended book list.”  There were six consolidated districts within the county (Hurley, Galena, Crane, Reeds Spring, Abesville, and Blue Eye), and two outside the county (Nixa and Highlandville) that included parts of Stone County.  There were 39 rural districts within the county, of which 38 were operating.  A few students who lived in Stone County attended two rural schools in Christian County.  Of a total enumeration of 3542 children of school age, 2707 were en­rolled for 1941-1942.

 

In the “Directory of Stone County Schools, 1942-1943,” published on 8 December 1942, Stone County had 39 rural schools and six consolidated districts (Hurley, Galena, Crane, Reeds Spring, Abesville, and Blue Eye).  This comprehensive 20-page booklet names and lists all schools, board members, administrators, teachers, and even bus drivers and custodians.  There is a map showing all the districts on pages 10-11, and a “recommended book list” for textbooks.  Ac­cording to the Superintendent, “all schools are receiving state aid.”  There were 3269 children enumerated in the school census, and an enrollment of 2769.
