The curriculum will be the same as lsst year, but greater efforts will be made to secure the best re sults attainable. The board of education and the principal will endeavor to work in closer co-operation, in order that improvement may be made when ever an opportunity for better work may be disclosed. Last term there were something more than 100 pupils in attend ance, but there is room for at least 150 and it isjhoped there will be a full attendance. Every pupil who can should at tend on the first day of the term, and every other day to the close, if possible. The patrons should co-operate with the teachers in securing prompt and steady attendance, correct deportment and careful attention to the studies, in order that proper advancement may re sult. If at any time during the term there be auy cause of complaint against any method or any act of any teacher, the board will give careful consideration thereto, and correction made if the complaint is proven to be well founde.d. If best results are desired, every patron should faithfully co-oper ate with the board of education and the teachers. The incidental fee is small and must be paid in advance.

Hodges was chosen chairman, and Mr. J. Powers Cooper requested to act as secreta ry. .... After some discussion, it was decided that there shall be a Houston county fair this fall, the exact date to be fixed later by the executive committee. It was the sense of the meeting that our fair must be either im mediately before or’ immediately after the state fair at Valdosta. Mr. J. E. Cheek was elected president, and Mr. B. C. Holtz- claw secretary and treasurer of the fair association. The appointment of vice presi dents, superintendents of depart ments and committees was left to selection of the President and Sec retary, with the advise of who-ev- er they may choose to consult with. The work of preparation of the grounds, selection of attractions, premium lists, amusement pro grams, etc., is with the officers and their advisers. This being well done, the fair will be a suc cess, as the farmers and the la dies will provide the exhibits in good shape and variety. Now, let the work of prepara tion proceed with vigor. Every Perry citizen is ready to co-operate with the officers thor oughly, and we dare say the farm era are also ready. To Houston Oounty Veterans.
