Regulations to Govern Sehool.
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. Pupils will not be permitted
to drop a subject without the !
permission of the parents, teach- \
er of the subject ana superin- \
tendent.
14 Pnrpnts nrp urired tor see
that children spend a reasonable
amount of time in the preparation
of lessons.
15. No child whose sixth birthday
falls affcer October 1st wi 1 '
be permitted to enter the first
grade.
10. 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.
I wish to thank my friends and
neighbors for their kindness,
I beautilul flowers and nice things
I to eat sent me during my recent
! illness. For all these courtesies
! I am duly appreciative.
Mrs. Mary Kendrick.
