TEXT BOOKS TO BE USED AND
ASSIGNMENT OF TEACHERS

The City schools of Abbeville, both
white and colored will open at 900
a. m. Friday, September 8.
The compulsory attendance law re-
quires the regular attendance of all
children between the ages of and
IA.
There is also state law which re-
quires successful vaccination against
small pox of every child who is en-
rolled in the public schools of the
state. This law was strictly enforced
last fall, so with the exception of
Iupils who have moved to Abbeville
since that time, pupils entering the
first grade will be the only ones to
be vaccinated. It is advised that
these beginners be vaccinated at
once so that a probability of sore
arms will we removed before the lit
tie folk begin their first school work.
All girls entering the first grade
will report to the room in Mrs. w.
D. Barksdale's home used last ses-
sion. while the boys will come to
the graded school. This arrangement
will be changed as soon as the new
high school is completed, which GER
tainly will not be later than Janu-
ary /.
All last years first grade that were
promoted will come to the graded
school building as will all other
grades through the fifth.
The third grade at the Abbeville
Mill school will occupy the new
classroom recently fitted up in the
old auditorium of the Mill school
building and the first grade will oc-
cupy one of the down stairs rooms
in that building.
1t is hoped that all of the text
books to be used will be in stock at
Speeds by opening date. A great
many are already in stock and pa
irons are urged to purchase the
books as soon as they are certain of
the grades in which their children
will be. All those pupils who mold
promotion cards know that they will
be promoted. Those who were con-
ditioned have been notified Of the
results of their special examinations.
Colored Schools.
The lines set two years ago to de-
termine which children will attend
each Of the three colored schools
remain as they were.
In the case of the Poplar Grove
school the following arrangement is
necessary because of increased en-
rollment: Grades l and and the
teachers of these grades will not re.
port to Poplar Grove until 1890 p,
IN. and will begin school at 12:45 p
m. Grades and with their teach.
ers will be dismissed at 12:45 until
a p. m. The third and fourth grades
from 9 a. m. until 12:45 p. m. This
arrangement applies only to Poplar
Grove School. The hours and pro

strictly in the colored school as wei
as in the white schools.
