Paris High School will open Mon

High School teachers trained in the
best colleges and universities IN
America.
When the City School opens in
September the Commercial Depart
ment will be ready with larger pro-
gram than was offered this year,
Miss Margie Kelly, who directed the
department so ably this year, Will
again be in charge of the work, and
will have sufficient assistance to en-
able her to take care of all High
School students who want CONNER
cial work, and all adults in the city
and county who want to take any
commercial courses.
During the summer private COM
mercial school solicitors come into
this territory and sign up people for
courses which are often very expen-
sive, and we desire to call the atten-
ton of all to the fact that the Paris
City Schools are offering a compre-
hensive course in commercial work,
and ask you if you are interested IN
this kind of work, wait until Septem-
Der and enroll in your home insti-
tuition. Arrangements will be made
whereby adult students who come
into the school for part time work
can advance just as rapidly as their
ability will enable them.

ed the parents who had kept their
children in school up to this point
in their lives and asked each to let
his child continue on through High

uuent tribute to the teachers who

calling which he considers higher
