Course.
The Covington City Schools and
the Byars-Hall High School will
open Monday, September 5. On
Thursday and Friday, September /
and 2, examinations will be given
for all who passed in a majority of
their subjects last year but failed or
were conditioned in one or two
branches If there are students who
have received private instructions or
have done independent study during
vacation in order to be promoted It
IS highly important that they report
for examination on the dates men
toned above.
The school faculties are anticipat-
ing heavy enrolment in all the
schools this year. Already num-
Der Of out-of-town pupils have APP
piled for admission to the grammar
school. On account of the crowded
condition in the school it may be
necessary to limit the number Of out
of-town students admitted. 1t is adj
vised that those desiring to enroll
make written application with the
city superintendent at once.
In view Of the fact that smallpox
has been reported to exist in several
places in the county, it is deemed
wise for the protection of the school
to require all students unable to
show good vaccine sore to be vac
cinated against smallpox. If this is
done now the wounds will begin to
heal, and the children will, be free Of
the fevers SO often attendant upon
vaccination by the time school opens.
The attention of the Junior and
Senior classes of the High School
and to the general public is called to-
the fact that Teachers Training
course will be offered this year in
connection with the regular high
school work. The primary object of
this work is to fit young teachers
for teaching without causing them to
leave home for their professional
training.
There are in Coyington and the
surrounding territory number of
yorng men and women who woald
like to 20 to the State Normal
schools or elsewhere This year 10
prepare for teaching. The county
needs them. But on account Of the
financial depression existing they
are unable to go away They might
profitabiy take the course we will
offer this year Upon its compile
ton they will be issued teachers
certificates which are renewable
from year to year on summer school
work.
