Graded School OpeAed.
The 1917-18 term of the Fort
Mill graded school opened Mon- j
day morning with appropriate
exercises before a considerable i
number of the friends and
patrons of the school and an at-!
tendance of pupils numbering 277
which is a rezord in the history !
of the school for the opening day. j
It is felt that the enrollment will
probably reach 375 before the'
end of the session which is a
matter of concern to the board of
trustees since the present quarters
are not adequate for so large
a number. It is probable that
steps will be taken to increase
the capacity of the present building
and the construction of a
separate building for the high
school, which includes the eighth,
ninth and tenth grades, has been
recommended.
The Rev. R. K. limmons presided
over the opening exercises
and introduced to the pupils Mr.
L. A. Carter, the new superintendent,
and Mr. R. L. Cole, the
principal of the high school. An
interesting and instructive address
was made by the Rev.
J. W. H. Dyches. Th. D., which
was attentively received.
The enrollment by grades is as
follows: 67 in the first grade in
charge of Misses Minnie Garrison
and Frances "Smith; 35 in the
second grade in charge of Miss
Susie White; 37 in the third

seventh grade, 13 in the eighth i
grade, 10 in the ninth grade. |
and 9 in the tenth grade in,

principal.
Parent-Teacher Meeting.
Probably the most interesting j
meeting of the past year was
held Friday afternoon by the
Parent-Teacher association when
an interesting review of the
work accomplished during the
past year was given by the Rev.
W. S. Goodwin, an address of!
welcome to those of the teachers
who are included in the faculty
