Opening of School Term

Oul olily lli0 ONiiOOio, ehiS
John Bassett Moore High
Schools, opened for another
school term yesterday with a
large enrolment of pupils and
every teacher in his or her
place. Supt. C. w. w. Schantz
on Tuesday conducted the
registration of new pupils and
addressed his staff of teachers
on the work of the school
year and the cooperation he
expected of them to obtain
the best results for the pupil
as well as the school. Yester-
day the schools opened auspic-
iously. After the assignment
of studies and the distribution
of books the classes were dis
missed until this morning
when school work will be TAX
en- up in all departments in
real earnest. Pupils of to-day
do not realize what a fine
school plant and equipment
they have in the John Bassett
Moore High School of Smyr-
ma. 1t is as different in mod
ern design and methods over
what their parents had as one
could possibly imagine. Our
school building in Smyrna is
as up-to-date as any city
school and has all the modern
conveniences and equipment
for teaching as one could hope
for a town the size of Smyrna.
Supt. G. w. w. Schantz has
the education of the pupils of
Smyrna Special District neal
and dear to his heart. The
Board of Education has spar.
ed no expense to give the
growing generations of Smyr-
ma the best in equipment OBJ
tainable. For this reason the
Smyrna School re-dedicateC
last June the John Bassetf
Moore High School Of Smyr
pa, offers the pupils of to-day
the best opportunity for al
education to be found in any
graded school anywhere. 1
the pupils do not avail them
selves of the opportunity an,
study, it is their own fault
not the school. We congrat
ulate the children of Smyrn
and vicinity for having tn
benefit of such building an
such a staff of teachers an
wish all a happy and prosper
our school year.

These numbers have been popular
