Crowded Conditions Have Been
Somewhat Relieved BY the
Use of AuditOriums.
IMPROVEMENT ALL ROUND
Teaching Force is Complete and
Everything is in Readiness for
Opening of Most Successful
Year.

The Lancaster graded schools will
open Monday, September Sth, at 8
o'clock.
In preparation for the opening both
buildings are being cleaned, new
desks installed, new Stieff piano
purchased and some addition has been
made to the science laboratory.
Because of the large enrolment ex-
pected both auditoriums have been
divided into class rooms.
Three new teachers have been
added to the Central school faculty
and one to School No. 2. making a
total of % teachers.
The teachers of the Central school
are as follows: Miss Gertrude Foster,
principal; Misses Genevieve Boyd and
Maud Moore, high school; Miss Elsie
Firesheets, seventh grade; Miss
Bessie McManus, sixth grade: Miss
Vivian HUFF. fifth grade: Miss Mamie
Hill Moore, fourth grade; Misses Ger
trude Croft and Cathleene Foster,
third grade; Misses Eva Hough and
Flora Timmons, second grade: Misses
May Hinnant and Carolyn McDougald.
first grade.
The teachers of School No. 9 are
as follows: Mr.. J. X. Connors, prin-
cipal and teacher of fourth grade;
Miss Claudia Shell, third grade; Mrs.
h. r. Riddle and Miss Helen Latham,
second grade; Mesdames Reese Fun
derburk, lone Craig and Ruth Will
son, first grade.
The music teacher, Miss Carrie Will
kins. Is prepared to teach both piano
and voice. In order to secure her
services it was necessary to raise the
fee to $3.50 a month Of eight lessons.
The compulsory educational law re-
quires all children between the ages
OF eight and fourteen to attend
school. 1t is believed that the peo-
pie OF Lancaster will willingly COM
ply with this law, because strong sem
timent has been growing in favor OF
banishing illiteracy here.
Children six years old on. or sixty
days after the opening of school will
be admitted to the first grade.
1t is earnestly requested that all
children be placed in school at the
beginning that each teacher may be
able to group her pupils in one class
in order that more efficient service
may be rendered
Because of the division of the
auditoriums into class rooms there
can be no general opening exercises.
however the pupils will be gladly vel
coined to the different class rooms.
a list of state adopted books will
be given each pupil the first day of
school and books may be purchased at
Robinson's or Hough's Book store.
Supt. Scott may be seen at his office
in the Central school building Friday
and Saturday mornings. 5th and 9Th,
by those who desire to consult him
about their = 'dren.
