Schools Here
Start Here
In 5 Weeks

White and colored public schools
start their fall terms on Thursday,
September IA, Superintendent E. M.
Rollins, of both systems, announced
today. He definitely confirmed the
dates, which had previously been an
nounced as tentative.
A meeting of all white teachers in
the city and county will be held at
the Henderson high school on We'd
nesday before the opening, it was
stated At that time instructions will
be given as to details of the opera
ton of the schools for the coming
year.
Pupils will report for registration
on Thursday, September IA, and will
be supplied with book lists. They will
equip themselves with their books by
Friday, when they will receive les
son assignments, and active class
room work will start on the following
Monday.
ed as to a solution of the teacher
age problem, Mr.. Rollins said The
old teacherage was so badly damaged
by fire a few weeks before the Ses-
sion ended last spring that it was
abandoned and has since been sold
and demolished. Whether a new
building will be erected has not been
announced. It is estimated such a
project would cost about $4,000, and
the only funds the school board has
with which to build are the insur-
ance adjustment of around $4,000
collected after the fire.
1t appears now that teachers who
heretofore have had their rooms and
obtained board in the old teacherage
will have to look for accommodations
in private homes. The cost is expect
ed to be greater than in the teacher
age, it was said.
