Will begin on June 18th with the fol.
lowing corps of teachers:
Geography, United States History,
South Carolina History and Physioi-
ogy-W. L. McElroy, teacher.
Arithmetic 1.-TWO classes), Primary Al
zebra and Latin Grammar-B. Y. Gull
bertson, teacher.
Higher Algebra, Geometry and Rhet-
oric--J. q. Parrott, teacher.
Greek Grammar, Zenophon, Caesar
and Vergil-J. b. Watkins, teacher.
English Grammar--James A. Mad
den, teacher.
Tuition is free to all who wish to at
tend the school, but those who attend
Will be expected to matriculate in four
classes. Punctuality, perfect lessons
and good behavior will be expected OF
ell.
Board in the pleasant homes of the
people of Laurens city can be obtained
at eight and ten dollars per month dur
ing the school.
Every teacher in the county who ex-
poets to continue teaching should attend
this school.
An examination of applicants wishing
teachers certificates will be held at the
close of the school.
Hereafter license to teach cannot be
granted except on examination; and
then the price of a licensed teacher can
not exceed $40 per month. 1t is easier
Tor 9 person to obtain a regular teachers
c~crtlhcate, mi more profitable, than to
obtain a license.
When a teacher Is employed by a
board Of trustees that contract is not
valid until it is approved by the County
Board OF Education. So any teacher go
employed by the trustees must, before
commencing school, have the contract
approved by the County Board and reg
lister as a public teacher of the county,
otherwise his pay warrants will not be
approved by the Commissioner.
The term Of Office Of the present trus-
tees will expire IN June 3Oth next.
On the 9th of June, at 3 p. M, the
people OF each school district, at some
place near the center of the district, will
meet and select three persons to be ap-
pointed trustees for the district to serve
for two years, beginning July 1st.
The present trustees of each district
meet, arrange and advertise the place of
meeting, and if the selection for the per-
sons to be appointed trustees is made
by an election they are to act as man
ayers of said election. The white citi-
zens must make this selection.
The persons 80 selected to be appoint
ed trustees must meet the County Board
at Laurens on Tuesday, July the 9TH, to
be commissioned.
The present trustees will make no ar
rangements with teachers to extend be-
yond June 30th.
All claims against the school fund of
this county for teaching or other things
must be presented to the Commissioners
for his approval before June 30tb, other
wise such claims may be barred.
AS the above is of interest to the peo-
pie, trustees and teachers we hope the
four papers of the county will copy.
The colored Summer school will be
run at the same time OF the white school.
T.. j. Sanders, principal of the Laurens
colored Graded school, will have charge
OF the colored Summer school. The
colored teachers of the county should,
by all means, attend this school, as we
cannot grant license to the colored teach
ers as heretofore. This is an opportu-
nifty they cannot afford to lose.
Tuition will be free, and those living
at a distance can see T. j. Sanders about
board and other matters relative to the
school.
