with his force of janitors, has been
getting the buildings and grounds
ready for the opening of the schools
next. Monday morning.
The city teachers are called to hold
their first regular meeting next Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock at the High
school building, where plans for the
month and regulations for the year
will be considered.
After all is said and done, the eff
cheney of school work depends very
largely upon the teachers. Commodi-
Gus and comfortable buildings and suit
able apparatus are desirable, but It
takes good teachers to make gooo
schools. A real teacher, filled with
the spirit of service and devoted TO
the cause of education, is one OF the
grandest assets in any community. In
respect to the faithfulness, ability and
general attitude of her corps OF teach
ers to the work of the city of New
berry is to be congratulated.
