For some time prepara tions have been made in con nection with the material part of the school plant in the Calhoun. the Lin coln, and the Girls' High school buildings. In the girls' high school building it has been found necessary to fit up a. room in the playroom of this building to accommodate the in crease of pupils. This increase is due to a natuiu.1 growth; for the school j census just completed reveals the fact I that attendance at school in the city i has been so, uniform as to render the { increase due to a State-wide com- j pulsory lav,' altogether inappreciable, j The greatest task of the summer j has been the selection of a principal for the Boys' High School. When Mr. Long, whose services were so entirely satisfactory, decided to practice law in Greenwood, efforts were begun ,$,t once to procure his successor. After the most careful investigation, follow ing up every reference, and taking ad vantage of every opportunity to ascer tain everything possible concerning the several candidates, the Board oi Education elected four men, before they were able to get one to accepi. This consumed a long time and re quired much effort: for when one would decline, having received a: the time of his election a more advan tageous offer, the whole process .of investigation would have to begin anew. On yesterday the board elect ed and was fortunate in getting by wire the acceptance of Mr. Wr. H. Dargan of Greenwood. Mr. Dargan j is a graduate of Wofford College and was principal of the High School at ; Newnan, Georgia, at the time that I he went to the war. In the army he i was a lieutenant in the aviation i branch of the service and while ar Camp Dick, Dallas Texas, he was in structor in gymnastics and acted as commandant of cadets at Kelly Field. Texas. Mr. Dargan is highly recom mended b>J the superintendent of the Greenwood public schools, by the fac ulty of Wofford College, and by the Board of Education of Newnan. He will enter upon his work here in Sum ter under most auspicious" promises of a successful career. The other principals for next year will be the same as for last year: Miss E. W. McLean, supervising prin cipal: Miss L. C. McLean, principal of the girls' high school: Miss I. H McXally. principal of the Hampton rrariimar school, and Mrs. M. B. Warren, principal of the Washington Primary school. Any prospective pupil who has not already procured his vaccination cer tificate should procure one now and thus save any inconvenience at the opening of the schools. It is earnestly requested that there j should be no requests for th<* children j of the first grade to be placed under j my',particular teacher. When a child! has done well with a certain teacher, i the parent naturaly thinks that this particular teacher is the best to hau-' die any other child that he may send to school. It is believed that all of the Teachers of the first grade are' equally efficient and xhv distribution of pupils is made for the best inter ests of the pupils and of the whole school. Bequests.- therefore, of the nature above serve simply to embarass the teachers who would be glad to gratify the wishes of the parent in every case, if this were feasible. I The first teachers' meeting of the '< year will be held on Saturday the ! thirteenth of September. On Wednes j day. Thursday, and Friday of thai week examinations will be held at tin-. ? Girls' High School building for those I pupils who may wish to enter the j Sumter schools for the, first time. .Mi-. I. A. Ftyttenberg is spendln" some time in Waynesv ille and Ashe i ville. X.
