HONOR ROLLS FOR THE WEEK
Preparations Being Made for a
DecIamatory Contest to be
Held November 9th

There will be held IN the school audi
torium, Friday evening, November 9th,
Declamatory Contest. This contest
is for the purpose Of selecting repre-
sentative to the State Declamatory con-
test to- BE held in Gainesville, Fla,
January 1, 1909, under the auspices of
the Florida State Educational Association
A nominal charge of Is cents for
adults and 10 cents for children, will be
made for admission, to defray the
expenses of the successful contestant,
who will represent the school at Gaines
VILE The names OF the eight contest
ants will be published later on, together
with the entire program for the evening.
Our enrolment continues to increase.
Each week adds from three to FIVE to
our school register, Another pupil was
enrolled in the High School this week.
This makes the enrolment in this de-
partment thirty-seven against twelve
last year.
We regret that Miss Brinson, the
efficient teacher of the fourth grade, is
not able to be in her place this week.
We hope she may speedily recover.
Now that the 'diptheria SCARE has
blown over most OF the pupils who were
out of school last week have returned
AS it usually happens in malignant
types of disease like this many exag-
gerated reports were circulated, most Of
them without any foundation whatever.
These reports may have influenced some
parents to keep their children out of
school when there was really no danger.
We would urge that in the future
parents would make a careful investi-
CATION before removing their children
from school. The patrons may be
assured that the school authorities will
be vigilant in cases of this kind and
that such action will always be taken as
will protect the children.
