Warren County Schools Will
open For Term Wednesday

Warrenton. - The Warren
County schools will get under
way for the 1948-49 school year
on Wednesday morning of this
week, when the school children
all over the county troop back to
their classes for the new year.
The school opening, originally
set for September l, has been
delayed for two weeks, however
no further delay is anticipated by
school officials.
Postponement in the opening
might conceivaly work hardship
on parents of some children who
will need the children to hell
in farming next spring, however
the delay in the opening of the
term has enabled many of the
school children to help at home
this fall in the harvesting of
tobacco crops.
A meeting of elementary teach
ers for the John Graham school
in Warrenton was held in the
auditorium of the school this
morning, and E. J. Bullock, prin-
cipal at the John Graham school
has announced that football prac-
tice is due to start Friday after
noon, September II, and urged
all candidates to be on hand for
the initial turnout.
The John Graham school here
lost three teachers from its faul-
ty this year because of a drop in
average daily attendance figures
during the l947-48 school year,
Principal Bullock said today that
it is imperative for the good of
the school that as full attendance
as possible be maintained dur
ing the new year, and expressed
hope that at least one of the
three teachers lost could be re-
turned to the faculty.
The Norlina school, which will
open the same day, is completing
some necessary repairs at the
school which are expected to be
finished by opening day. A
cement block wall has been
erected on the west side of the
school ground and some new
equipment has been purchased
for the school cafeteria.
An assembly program is being
planned for the first day OF
school at 10 a. m. Local minist-
ers have been asked to attend
the program and anticipated that
the parents and friends OF all
the children in the Norlina
school are cordially invited to at
tend the assembly.
