First Teachers Meeting Day Before Extra
Teachers For Third and Fourth Grades.
Out of Town Pupils Pay So Month
Tuition-List of Teachers.

According to announcement by
Major j. D. Fulp, superintendent OF
the city schools, the schools will
open the new session Friday, Septem-
Der 9, at 9 O'Clock. The first teach
ers' meeting will be held Thursday
afternoon, September 8, in the
graded school and each teacher is
expected to be present for this meet
ing or else forfeit one days pay. So
many announcements regarding the
courses of study, the division OF
grades into sections, the general
rules to be enforced in the admin
istration of the schools, and dozens
of little details regarding the school
work, are necessary to be fully un-
derstood by teachers, especially the
new ones, that attendance at the first
teachers meeting is decidedly neces-
sary. rE ~
In view of the fact that an extra
teacher was found to be necessary in
the third and fourth grades for the
coming session, a room in the home
of W. D. Barksdale has been rented
by the trustees and is being fitted up
this week as a model primary class
room. The section of the first grade
girls will be placed in this room in
stead of going to the school building
proper. This is only an emergency
step, however, and when the new
high school building is completed the
section will be moved back to the
graded school building. The new
third grade will be taught in the au-
ditorium at the mill school which will
be fitted up as class room. The au-
ditorium for the mill school will be
in the new community building now
in course of construction there. No
pupils from families living on the
grounds Of the Abbeville cotton mill
enrolling in either of the three pri-
mary grades-frst, second and third,
grade will attend classes at the
graded school on North Main street.

vile school district, No. 80, enroll
ing below the eighth grade will be

variably be payable in advance.
