The board of trustees of the Fort Mill graded and high school have adopted the following suggestions and regulations for the control of the school: 1. Parents are cordially invited to confer with the superintendent or teachers about their children at any time. In many cases it is to the interest of both to understand each other better. 2. Parents are invited and urged to visit the school and see the children at work and play. Your interest helps your child and the teacher. When you visit be free to offer any suggestions and to ask for information. 3. Reports will be sent out periodically and parents are urged to examine these closely and sign them. If a child has made a very low mark on any subject this should be made a matter of immediate inquiry. Perhaps it is due to lack of study, too many outside engagements, irregular attendance, or some other cause that can and ought to be removed. Your hearty cooperation is solicited in the endeavor to secure the best development of your child. 4. Have you in mind a definite occupation for your child? If so, let the superintendent know what it is; if not, talk the matter over at home and then call to see the superintendent oi# principal. The school aims to help pupils get their bearings and lay the foundation for efficiency in life. 5. All parents are urged and invited to come out on Parents' Day. The date will be announced from time to time. If you are not a member of the ParentTeacher club, why not join at the next meeting? Make the school a center of active interest for yourselves and your friends, as well as for your children. 6. Special attention is called to irregular attendance. This often is the cause of lack of interest in the work of the school. Excuses showing good cause for absence or tardiness should always be sent promptly to the teacher on the return of the child to school. Neglect of this may cause the child to be sent home after the excuse. The cordial cooperation of parents in this matter will be greatly apprtciatcd. 7. Parents are asked to notify ! the teachers in case any of the [children loiter along the streets jor< roads on their way to or from ] the school. Children are required I and expected to come directly to ! the school when the hour arrives j and go directly home at the close I of school. 8. Children must not play truant and will be dealt with by the teachers on the return of said children to school. 9. Any school property destroyed or damaged by any p ipil must be paid for by that pupd. 10. School opens promptly at 8:40. and all students are expected to be in their seats at the tapping of the last bell. The first bell will ring at 8:00 o'clock. Most children will have plenty of time to reach school if they leave at the ringing of the first bell. The doors of the building will be opened at 8:25. Children who are on the school grounds at 8:25 are required to go to their respective rooms. 11. All children outside of local district are required to pay tuition. except in the high school. 12. It is our aim to guard th< i welfare of the children at al times, hence children alllictec with contagious or infectious dis v ?? -' ~ eases will not he allowed to attend school. In case of contagious or infectious diseases in the home it is best to see the super intendent or bring a physician's certificate. 13.

No student over 21 years of age will be permitted to enter , school without the payment of ' tuition. ? 17. Pupils must agree to comply with the standards, rules j and authorit" of the school. Efficiency the Keynote. Editor The Times:?There is! nothing today more needed than skill. In all lines of action it is absolutely essential. The production of our farms and our 1 factories is dependent upon the ( efficiency of those workinir. ' The demands upon industry are < daily increasing to meet these. It is necessary that the skill of those engaged he increased. The prestige of the producer ] is growing. We are beginning to see that to weave a fabric is just as honorable as to wear it. Wealth is the accumulation of the difference between the fin- . ished product of a community and its raw material resources, i The more skilled the producer the more valuable the product and the greater the accumulated wealth in the community. The community should be intensely interested in seeing that every member was efficient and, skilled in some line of production. The young generation soon to take their places as members I should have it impressed upon them that to he masters at their craft and to be skilled at the task which their hands found to do was an imperative edict of the community enforced by the powers of society and abetted ; by the helping hand of all. They should have it impressed upon them that the days of loitering, loafing and leaning upon the j support and production of others are no longer. We should see | to it that our school books and ; teachers impressed upon them | the dignity of doing the prestige of producing and the honor and integrity of labor. X. Card of Thanks.
