A Nine MONTHS
Term PROPOSED
County School Beard Anxious Tc
Increase Annual Number
of Graduates

There will be meeting of the
members of the Madison county
school board in Richmond next week
at which the advisability of extending
the school period TO eight and in all
probability nine months, will be dis
cuSsed.
1t is the intention Of the board to
facilitate matters in the way Of turn
ing out moAe students each year, and
this is the mode decided upon. They
assert that if the schools, continue
for period of at least eight months
with a probability Of nine, there will
be 9 great increase in the number Of
students turned out, both from the
county and city schools.
The extended period would enable
the students to finish their studies
and be ready for advancement at an
earlier period, and the corps OF grad
uates from the high school would ac-
cordingly be increased.
SOuHCy OupcIlHCcIluSHt IuWdiUS, d.,
well as the members Of the board
believe that the extended term will
not cost the county any more money
since the same salary will be paid
teachers, although they be expected
to remain during the extra time. In
reality they would not receive any
more for the eight than the six
month period, said Mr.. Edwards, but
they would continue to teach the cX-
ira time, and the county would pay,
at the present wage salary scale, ap-
proximately for q six months term
When asked regarding the acceptance
of the proposition upon the part Of
the teachers, he admitted that he did
not anticipate any difficulty from this
source.

number of important matters in
the way of routine work taken up
and disposed of. One of them

crease in salary. The matter of

Der of teachers re-appointed and

bers of the faculty assert, during
