FINE SCHOOL ADVANTAGES OFFERED
TO ALL LAURENS COUNTY PATRONS.
The Laurens City Schools Fully Equal
to "Collegettes' and Much
Less Expensive.

ASSS Expensive.
The Laurens City Schools offer advantage equal to those of the
best schools in the state and better than those of some so called col
loges which are more expensive. Il lis proposed to make this fully
known to the people of the county. Why should people outside of
the town send boys and girls at greater cost to boarding in other
counties when one of the best schools in the state is located here in
Luarens?The circular below sbeing sent to school patrons throughout
the county The attention of patronsis especially called to the tex
books and course of study. On examination they will find that the
Laurens City Schools r. able to do all they clam.
The editor OF THE ADVERTISER has had something to do with
schools and believes that no better school is likely to be found than
this home school. Its superintendent and corps of teachers are
thorough teachers, as good as can be had.
The following is Mr.. Jones' circular:
Session l9o3-'O begins Thursday, September 8, 1908.
DEARslR: We desire to place a copy of the course of study
of the Laurens City Schools in the bands Of every school patron in
Laurens County.
Before sending your boy or girl out of the couuty TO school, it
may interest you to know what Is being taught In the ga led schools
OF your own county seat. Parents have been known to send their
children to high schools and "ooregsttes' in other parts of the
State, when they could get just as good training, If not better, right
here at home and at much less expense.
Examine our course of study carefully and be convinced that
the pupil who completes our course, or It's equivalent, successfully
should have no trouble in entering the Freshman Glass in some good
college.
However, our purpose shall be not so much to prepare pupils
for college as it will be to give them a fair education that it will bet.
ter enable them to meet the existig conditions in our county.
We invite the CO. operation of school trustees, teachers and pa
irons over the county in an effort to get every boy and girl within
