PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPEN MONDAY
Efficient Teachers in All Depart
mentS and a Banner Attend
ance Is Expected

On Monday morning the doors OF
the city school were opened for the
1918-19 session and although it had
been predicted to the contrary, the
attendance for the first day was
very good indeed and the competent
corps Of teachers was present to
take charge of the scores of child
rem that presented themselves.
The following is the list of the,
teachers for the present session:
Mrs. B. r. Turner, Principal of the
High School and instructor in Latin
and French; Miss Marie A. Mcclure,
Mathematics; Miss Alice Classify,
English and History; Miss Clara
Arnold, Science and History; Miss
Mary Welsch, Eighth Grade; Miss
Bess Robinson, Seventh Grade; Miss
Matte Hoffman, Sixth Grade; Miss
Eliza Harris, Fifth Grade; Miss
Elizabeth Duerson, Fourth Grade;
Miss Florence Shirley, Third Grade;
Miss Lucy Owings, Second Grade;
Mrs. Sophia Randall, First Grade;
Miss Vivian Alfrey, Assistant in the
Sixth and Miss Lucille Hardin, the
First. Miss Elizabeth Lockridge will
be the official substitute this year.
Supt. Hopper was in his office and
on account of his weakened condi-
ton, due to a recent accident, is he
ing assisted in his clerical work by
Miss Cynthia Thompson.
At the opening exercises the Rev.
Clyde Darsie conducted the devo-
tional part and made a short address
to the students while Mr.. c. d.
Grubbs, President of the Board, in a
few remarks, urged the students to
continue their course until gradual
ton and pointed out the necessity
at this time of a thorough prepara-
ton.
Among the announcements made
by the Superintendent, one which
will possibly interest most of the
people was that no courses in Ger
man would be Offered this year.
While the enrolment approximately
Of $50 is considered a good begin
ming, the parents of the children are
urged to have their children in
school at once in order that they
may not be handicapped by a late
start. Children should realize that
regular attendance at school is a
patriotic duty as well as a personal
privilege and that the child who does
not attend school regularly is a
STACKER no less than the adult
who endeavors to evade military
service.

DRIVE STARTS FOR
WARREL|EF FUND

Monday, June 10, has been fixed
upon as the day for the drive for the
Sank county war relief fund. The
county committee, in setting this date
is making preparations through the
various local workers to have every
man on the job on that day, and is
urging, so far as possible, that citi.
zens make this an cat home" day, or
better still in these active times, their
day con the job" so that the workers
in their neighborhood may get to them
and secure their pledges to the fund.
These are particularly busy days for
every citizen of the county and every
man is needed all the time at his desk,
the shop or the farm. The Sank cOun-
ty war relief fund is plan to conserve
labor and to save you from continual
solicitation.
The quota for Sank county in the
present Red Cross drive has been
raised from $4,000 to $13,50O by the
national Red Cross committee. This
will be the first call upon the Sank
county war relief fund. Others will
be coming right along as the war takes
on larger and larger proportions. The
plan is to raise a fund of 100000 for
the year. If the calls for aid do not
require it, a smaller sum will be col
lected the second year by cutting down
the percentage. AS in the case Of the
present call from the National Red
Cross, the disbursement by the county
committee will be determined by the
national organizations of the Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A., X. Of c., and other
recognized war work, in proportion to
the magnitude of the task assigned to
each by the government. The war
relief fund will, of course, supply the
immediate financial needs of the rec
OgniZed Red Cross chapters in the
of them from raising money in other
ways, if desired.
The operation of the plan has been
explained in literature which has been
sent to every voter in the county, and
further information will be available
through newspapers and at public
meetings.
The pledge card which each sub
scriber signs, provides for payment of
the subscription at any bank desig-
mated, at intervals to suit the conven-
fence Of the subscribed. 1t is hoped
by the committee that every citizen in
the county will cooperate with the So
licitors in making the canvass as short
and simple a task as possible.
Be ready to make your subscription
on Monday, June TO-
