The white and negro public schools |
of Conway will open Monday morning
for their annual sessions, which will
continue nine months. Concerning
the opening of the white school, Supt.
7. P. Womack today gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
School opens Monday morning at
tho usual hour-8:35. First bell at
o'clock. second bell at Sis o'clock
and chapel at 1885. Patrons and
friends are cordially invited.
When the doors open at o:15, old
nupils will go directly to their rooms.
New pupils will go to the office of the
superintendent on the second floor.
Visitors will please meet in the
auditorium back seats. We shall leave
two back rows for visitors.
Bring no books Monday. Old pu-
pills will bring promotion card. II 1t
IS lost, do not call up superintendent;
inst come on and make the most OF 1t.
Pupils who have done regular
SCHOOL work during the vacation and
wish credit will be examined Monday
afternoon by the regular teacher.
Such pupils must bring satisfactory
. evidence that they have done regular
. school work.
Regular work will be done Tuesday.
All pupils are expected to come Mon
day, get classified, get a list OF books
and have a seat assigned. Pupils may
buv books in advance if they wish,
hut do so at the risk of getting wrong
ones.
The school bank will continue to
handle pencils, tablets, etc. All prot
it's 90 to the stockholders-your chill
dren. Some eight or 10 teachers and
three members of the school board
have a dollars worth of stock each
and get the regular dividends. The
children get all the rest.
But the school bank is not Compel
ing with anybody. 1t sells staple
goods at the regular price and pupils
NAV patronize it or not, as they pre-
fer.
Parents of small children will
please provide their children with the
following data: o. name IN full,
(2) of father, 60 address of father,
including street number, ca occupa-
ton of father, 60 when vaccinated,
co. school last attended-for new pu-
pills only. Write on card and send by
pupil. Include phone number, or the
number from which you can be called.
For some years we have made 1t
rule to buy certain school supplies in
bulk and collect from pupils. These
supplies include ink, writing paper,
drawing paper, examination paper
(for all pupils above the sixth grade),
special pencils for primary grades,
one tablet for pupils in grades l and
2, and little classics for supplement
tary reading. We did not buy ink
last year, but must this year. On the
other hand, we bought writing paper
last year and will have to buy only
little this year. We are quite willing
to show invoices, ETC., if any ole
doubts our use of the money. We
used this plan for years and find 1t
very good indeed. 1t saves trouble
for the school and costs nobody an
extra penny. In fact, there are
few patrons who do not save money
by the plan. Following is the list OF
amounts asked in the different rooms:
Room 1-25 cents.
Room 2-25 cents.
Room, ok cents
Room 4-25 cents.
Room 5-15 cents.
Room 6-10 cents.
