| wish to take this opportunity TO
cordially invite all the people of Hen
ry County who have an interest in
education to be present at our Central
High School opening. There will be
no special program other than our

school in every way that may lead
to the improvement of education in
Henry County, We shall all appye-
ciate it if those who come will meet
the teachers and lend a word of en-
couragement.
It shall be our policy this year to
do onr very best by every boy and
girl in Henry County who attends
the school. We especially urge pa
rents whose children live long ways
from school to put them in the dor
mitory. We have made arrangements
for the boys and girls to live in the
dormitory. Mr.. Rowe Chapman and
his wife will have charge of the DOR
mitory. can assure the parents as
well as the boys and girls, that they
shall have every courtesy and privi-
lege extended to them. The rooms
are all well heated and lighted, and
there will be warm watef lad at all
times. The cost of board will be as
little as we can make it. Last year
the board cost about SIT per month
but considering the present cost OF
food and labor that is very reason
able for rooms, meals, light, water
etc. Those who board at the dormito
ry must furnish their own bed lin
lens, towels, soap, etc. The necessary
bedroom furniture will be supplied
by the dormitory. The meals shall
be the best we can make the mat the
least cost. Our school dormitory
should be home for the boys and
girls Of TIE country and we hope to
make it as lomelike as possible this
year. These who aIe contemplating
putting a student IN the dormitosy
this year, are asked to communicate
with me or Mr. Chapman at once IN
order that room may be preserved.
As for the policy Of the school,
shall say that we hope to do more fol
