School Survey Of York County

This survey was written in September 1920 by John F. Thomason, Winthrop Professor of Rural Life Education. The survey is a good source for anyone researching information about the York County, S.C. school system before 1920. In the Foreword, Thomason writes: "This survey of the county-supervised schools of York County was made on the request of John E. Carroll, County Superintendent of Education, with a view to giving the public a better acquaintance with the public school situation and to directing attention to needed improvements for the future development and growth of the schools. A scoring of city school buildings was made by request of the respective superintendents."
