PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF HILLsBoRo.
A Card From Superintendent Major.

The Public Schools will open next
Monday, September 7th, 1891, at g.
o'clock a. m.
All the pupils should hunt up their
reports and have them ready to bring
with them when school begins, as these
are cards of admission to their several
schools, and may save time and trouble
for themselves as we'll as their teachers. 4
Even if pupils have failed of promotion, 4
one can see at a glance whether any
mistake has been made, and SO it is an
advantage still to bring the report.
The High School and the three Pri-
mary Schools will be situated in the
Main street building Institute). As
one more school had to be formed in
the Walnut street building and a some
what different assignment of teachers
was made, a few changes will be neces,
STATED in the arrangement there. Miss
Hodson "a Grammar) will occupy the
the old High School rooms Mrs. Marks
