THIRTEEN HUNDRED CHILDREN
ENROLL NEWBERRY SCHOOLS
941 in White Sehools-358 in Color
ed School-Large High School
Public Exercises Thursday
Morning.

The Newberry schools under the
able supervision of Prof. 0. B. Can
non have had fine opening. The
teachers are all at their posts and
Prof. Cannon says that he has the
best corps of teachers in the State
and we agree with him and do so
without making comparisons. They
are all loyal and faithful to the
schools and the children are fond of
them and thereby they can do good
work in the training.
The enrolment this year is very
fine and especially in the high school.
The children in the schools are very
evenly divided between the sexes,
there being 470 boys and All girls.
In the high school the girls have a
good majority.
Prof. Cannon on Thursday morn
ing invited a few friends of the
school to be present at the high
school and make brief talks to the
children and the teachers.
The exercises were opened by
reading of Sripture by Rev. Edw.
Fulenwider and prayer by DIR. A. J.
Bowers. Short talks were made by
President S. J. Derrick of Newberry
college, Col. E. H. Aull, Rev. Edw.
Fulenwider and DR.. A. J. Bowers.
Trustees w. G. Mayes, J. Y. Jones,
and L. G. Eskridge were also present.

ly. A system of good schools is a
great aaset for any community.
