Editor Fort Mill Times: The Fort Mill Graded and High Schools will begin its 1908-9 session Monday, September 7th. A ; full attendance is desired and : urged for the opening day. We j cannot emphasize too much the importance of beginning aright; j and the right time to begin is to ; begin at the beginning; so then let every parent who desires to j get the best out of the school for i his or her child and wishes to help the teachers to bring! about the very best results, see to it that the children are present Monday morning at 9 o'clock, or as soon in the fall thereafter as possible. We believe that the graded school department is well equip- j ped with a teaching force and : we hope to accomplish much in j that department this year. We j are going to spare no pains to , make the high school department! a success, i'rof. J. A. Boyd, a1 teacher of about 30 years' expe-1 riencc and of acknowledged sue- j cess in high school work, and I, will devote our entire time to the high school classes. I do not think that we have, as yet, fully realized what a great thing has been done for us by the legislature in providing for these high schools. The law provides for two teachers to thoroughly prepare our boys and girls for college; and for life, as is the case with most of them, at practically no cost. We urge parents in the entire Fort Mill high school district to send Till pupils above the seventh grade to us; and we invite all pupils who are not in the district, but are prepared to enter the high school to enroll with us. We shall do our best for you. Remember, it costs you no tuition. Let them come on horseback, in buggies or wagons; or if too far let them board in town. I know boys and girls who go live or six miles and are seldom tardy, and they don't catch cold either. And to our town-people of Fort Mill, let the school be first of importance with your children from t Monday morning until Friday evening. Conform your plans to ; the plans of the school. We are J going to try to conduct the school j on as nearly a scientific basis as ; :ki~ I- v * possum;. in every ease wnat we do will he for the hest interest of the children. We study this great question and we consult the hest authorities so as to conduct the schools to the highest good of all concerned. In behal f of the teachers, I wish to thank every patron in advance for every consideration they may show us and for every effort to assist us in carrying out our carefully premeditated plans. With a full co-operation of patrons, pupils and teachers success is eminent in the old Fort Mill school. Respectfully, L. Meywardie Bauknight. August 31, 1908. SECOND PRIMARY ELECTION.
