CITY SCHOOL TO
OPEN SEPT. z.
cn+ Bradshaw Announces Faculty
ond Comments on Outlook for
Good School Year.
CBv Supt. G. w. Bradshaw


tho schools of the city of Henderson
vile will open for the current year
m Monday, September End. The
facultv has been completed and all
nIans and details for beginning work
are nearing completion.
And it appears that the chance for
tbe pupils to do excellent work In
+hpir studies are better for the COM
ing year than ever before. The
teachers in the grades have been
chosen in every case because of their
snec;aI fitness to do the work they
are 10 undertake. All have had col
Iege training and one OR more years
OF experience in teaching.
The teachers for the primary and
grammar grade department are as
follows:
Miss Lois Edwards, Miss Anna
Crowder, Mrs. Ethel Patterson, Miss
Annie Scruggs, Miss Lalla Wynne,
Miss Gussie Dotson, Miss Katie
/
Rosa Edwards.
The teachers for the high school ali
hold college diplomas, and, like the
grade teachers, have been chosen be-
cause of their special preparation and
fitness for the department in which
they will work. They are, according
to their departments, as follows:
Miss Bessie Steedman, Principai,
teacher of Latin and French.
Miss Bessie Jordan, teacher or
Mathematics and Science.
Miss Eilene Lewis, teacher Of Do
mestfc Science and Chemistry.
Miss Margaret Bomar, teacher OF
History.
Miss Ellen Rafford, teacher Of Eng
lish and Science.
The high school is now on the State
of North Cardinals accredited list OF
schools and, therefore, must do a
standard grade of work. Ample pro-
vision has been made, too, by the
Board of Trustees, for this to be done.
And since promotions are now on the
unit basis, pupils will have a better
chance to choose the subjects in the
high school that seemingly will best
fit them for the course they wish to
pursue in college or for the profess
sion in after life. A double course of
study has been adopted which will al
low pupils to take either four year
course in Latin, or a course covering
two years of science and two years OF
French. Either of the two courses
will lead towards graduation, sixteen
full units being required or every pu-
pil before a diploma is granted. The
the minimum number of uites in other
subjects will be required for gradua-
ton as outlined by the State Asso-
ct&tion AID the Southern Association
o. accredited high schools.
No doubt there will be this year, as
IN previous years, a number of pu-
pills who for one reason or, another
were not regularly promoted last
spring or who will ask for higher
standing than their cards call for. All
pupils will be classified according to
their card recommendations, or spe-
claI examinations will be given to
Fhose presenting certification cards
fIrom some certified teacher stating
mat such pupils have studied regu-
larly and systematically during the
summer. No accommodations will be
accepted from other than regular GER
tlhed teachers.
Pupils wishing to enter the High
School will present their regular
county diploma showing that they
nave completed the grammar school.

VIII be given in all the seventh graGc
SUBJECTS. Pupils coming frOE. outside
