Bamberg Graded School.

Tuesday evenings exercises mark
ed the close of one of the most sue
cessful years in the history of the
Bamberg public schools. Just little
glance at the annual report and a
little consideration of the teachers
and the work they did will impress
the truthfulness upon the minds of
any one. a..
The enrolment and average at
tendance both were the largest in
years. The enrolment was greater
by twenty-one pupils than any pre-
vious year, and in great number of
the grades the average attendance
was but little less than the enroll
ment. At the beginning of the ses-
sion, certificates were offered to pu-
pills who would be neither absent nor
tardy, and about ten per cent. of the
pupils won these certificates, while a
great many others were absent or tar
dy only once. Besides, very few pu-
pills failed to return to school at the
beginning of session. This is es-
pecially true in the fourth year high
school class. There were only eight
members in the third high school
year, and seven of these returned and
completed the fourth year and receiv-
ed State High School diplomas with
over fifteen standard units.
While the teachers and pupils have
been faithful in the regular school
work, some additions in the way OF
equipment have been made. A his
torical chart, complete physical lab
oratory, and other things have been
added. The course of study too has
been improved, and it is hoped the
full business course can be added by
next session, which can be done with
out an extra teacher.
The faculty for next session is as
follows: Miss May Zeigler, 1st grade;
Miss Ruth Dibble, second grade; Miss
Gertrude Davis, third grade; Miss
Ollie Lee Dobson, fourth grade; Miss
Louise Martin, sixth grade; Mrs. j A.
Murdaugh, seventh grade; Miss Hat
tie Newsom, mathematics and science
in high school,; Miss Leona Thomas
son, history and english; Miss Kate
Rosborough, latin and english; E.
P. Allen, superintendent and teacher
of geometry and physics. The fifth
grade teacher will be announced at
an early date. All the above teachers
have been in the school except
Misses Thomasson and Rosborough,
who take the places of Misses Lay
and Martin, the former having de-
clined reelection and the latter hav-
! ing been transferred to the lower
| grades. Miss Thomasson is gradu-
ate of Winthrop college, and has had
five years of experience in the school
| room. Miss Rosborough is a gradu-
ate of Converse and the University
of Virginia and has had several years
| experience. Both of these teachers
come highly recommended, and no
doubt will do excellent work. Miss
| Webber goes to Bennettsville, and
Miss Hair declined reelection on ac-
count of illness.
