Opening of the Potosi High School.

The Potosi High School will open
for work on Monday, Sept. 9th, 1909.
Potosi can now boast of haying one OF
the best high schools in Southeast
Missouri. The pupil who does work
in the Potosi High School will receive
credit for that work in any OF the
Normal schools. Colleges and the
State University OF Missouri. It's a
mistake to send pupils to the Nor
mails or any of the Colleges before
they are prepared for college work

home. The high schools are designed
for that purpose, and the work can be
done with much less expense than in
the higher institutions.

no longer have to leave the county in
order to prepare for College. The Po-
tosi High School is now equipped to
irst-class high school work, and with
the present strong teaching force will
be able to accommodate those who
