Then again, the teachers are given sufficient notice for them to make all nec- essay arrangements. During the public school term, the board will require monthly meeting of the teachers at Per ry. “The list of white teachers and schools is as follows: Ben Hill—Election of principal deferred; Miss Nellie Grimsly, as sistant.
