If Columbia, Col, Sanford Sellers o
Lexington and John w. Hughes o
Forsyth.
Col. Sellers is a new and inauentia
member of the Board. He is at the
head of the Wentworth Military Acad.
omy at Lexington, and is a schoo
teacher of long and successful exper-
ience. He has been in closest SYM
pathy with the S. of O. from its estab-
lishment in fact served on the commit
tee of seven to locate the school. He
is not only well qualified for service on
the Board but is willing and anxious to
serve the school in every way he can.
The quiet influence of ]. w. Hughes
was strong factor throughout the en-
tire deliberations of the Board. For
syth is proud of its MISREPRESENTATION.
The president of the school, Geo.
E. Knepper, submitted a lengthy re-
port covering the first four months of
the present school year. The organi-
zation of the school, the faculty, the
course of study and the Forsyth public
schools each received special mention.
The enrolment in the public schools
was 96, So boys and 38 girls. Of the
S. of O., S., sc boys and 19 girls, of
these 80 were in the high school, IS
III the 9th grade and one in the
seventh.
The expense of running the board
ing department was worked out in
detail as was also the general running
expenses. The total expense of run
ming the school for the first four months
was $964.36. The money received
directly through tuition was ,$473.75,
from scholarships $4o7.8O a total of
$961.75 making the incomes $7.29
above the expenditures. This leaves
the teachers salaries to be provided
for from other sources.
the. following is quoted from the
report under consideration: It was
assumed that the little paper could be
made self-sustaining but in this we
have been disappointed. We have
received but "a subscriptions or $40.
The expense of the four issues has
been $40 of this SO has been paid,
leaving an unprovided balance of $24.
One thousand copies have been issued
each month. The mailing list has
received much care and is improving
but am not sure that the publication
pays"
The following is a we'll digested |
opinion also quoted from the report
under review:
TO plan wisely for the future and |
to keep the school moving onward and !
upWord is the most difficult Lart of
your task. The school stands well |,
win the general public as well as with
'ne church There is no school doing
better work considered purely as a
missionary enterprise. It's greatest
neeo is money. This can easily be
secured. By the end of this year
prospectus or catalogue can be issued
mat will prove both attractive and
sieditaole. A wide awake fnancia
agent becomes a necessity. There
lany persons ready to help as soon as
' @tractlve work is presented to
1ieln' l know of no school in which
~ interest can so easily be aroused.

pOloence. With carefully prepared
