PREPARING FOR THE TEACHERS
Seneca WIZ Give Warm Welcome to
Them-Local News.


next Monday the summer school will
open in Seneca, and our people are
planning to give the teachers a royal
welcome. The Board Of Trade met
last week for the purpose of plan
ming some entertainment, and while
the arrangements are not complete,
some Of the details are these: A re-
ception will be given the teachers on
Tuesday night at the school audito-
rum, when they will spend a social
hour meeting our people and each
other. There will be an address of,
welcome from the Mayor, and some
other features Of entertainment. A
week later social entertainment.
more elaborate In detail will be
given at the auditorium, and at some
time during the term trip to Clem-
son will be rendered the visiting
teachers. We take this opportunity
to extend In advance, on the part OF
our people, a hearty welcome to
Seneca and to our homes.
1T has been suggested that during
the summer school term arrange
ments be made with the librarian,
whereby the visitors can have access
to the library. We think this a splen-
did idea, for outside of the pleasure
and benefit the plan might afford the
teachers, 1t will bring before the
public our pet institution, the Pub
lie Library. We hope the executive
committee Of the association will
meet speedily and see If this plan
can be made.
