School Opens Next Monday ?i 1 n:~u i .If;vi<uiu VJI tlUCU clllU Lll^l! School will begin the next session Monday morning September 28 at nine o'clock. Parents are requested to see that their children enroll iir the sohool on the opening day if possible, so that they may be present when classes are organized and lessons and text-books assigned. Recently the citizens of this district voted unanimously in favor of adding the High School Department in which there will be offered a three years course of study which will prepare pupils for college, or if they do not attend college will furnish a good education for the duties of life. Two teachers of experience will devote their time to this department, and when the attendance warrants it doubtless a third teacher can be added and two parallel courses offered. In a few years with the hearty support and co-operation of this community there could be main J tained a four years course in the , Pageland school "thereby raising [ the standard a full year. As I see it there is a splendid oportunity for building an excel* lent school here and the patrons can count on the earnest endea .vor of teachers and trustees in 1 making this possible. The 1 school building has beer thorougly repaired, the halls and many of the class rooms calci ' miemd, window panes replaced s and the grounds put in good shape. G. B. Dpkc.s, * Principal.
