THIS INSTITUTION DOING BET.
TER WORK THAN EVER.
Enrolment Largest in History Of the

Past Month.

LdSL oCIODSA OIu, S1OSSo
the first month Of the school year Of
1911-1912 for the Bamberg graded
school. While the school has been
opening under very favorable circum-
stances in former years and making
a remarkable stand in the work it
has done, the opening and the be-
ginning Of work this present ses-
sion have been the best in the his
tory of the school, and the outlook
for the best years work is the bright
est the writer has ever experienced.
From the standpoint Of enrolment,
attendance, and general interest on
the part of the pupils, this fact seems
very evident. The enrolment Is the
largest it has ever been any year to
the present time, and the attendance
has been remarkable Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the weather has
been disagreeablyw arm, the average
attendance for the month just closed
falls but little short Of the total en-
rollment. And these pupils have not
only been present every day, but they
have been at school on time. Out Of
an enrolment of considerably over
two hundred there have been few
tardies. In some very large grades
there was not a single tardy.
While there have been considerable
improvements in the attendance OF
the school, other Improvements have
been made. Every effort is being
| put forth to make and equip the
school to train the pupils in several
lines, and, at the same time, make
it up to the highest standard as a
preparatory school for the college
and university. Already several
branches of the high school science
are being taught SUCCESSFULLY, but a
complete physical laboratory Is soon
to be installed, so that experimental
physics may be taught. There is a
class in typewriting in the school
now, and bookkeeping is to be placed
as soon as practical.
Besides the regular course with It's
extras the school has its music de-
partment. While this is independ-
ent, the school is glad to have it.
This department is in charge OF Miss
FRANKIE Folk, who has taught In 1t
| very successfully for the past two
years. Every pupil who cares to do
80 has time to take music at some
time. during the school day.
| While the school made a good rec
ord the first month, it can do better
| the next. The superintendent and
teachers welcome the heartiest CO.
operation of the parents and guardi-
ans. Let each parent see that his
child not only goes. to school, but that
he goes on time and with the neces-
ssry amount of study. Let parents,
| pupils, and teachers work to make
| the Bamberg school the best In the
! State. Your most hearty co-opera-
ton is invited.
