Good School Spirit Manifested—Wise Regulation Adopted by Hoard. Each day marks an Increase in the number of pupils in attendance at our city public shcools, and the prim ary grad-s In particular are badly oztrcros.did. Miss Delia Ru sell has had eighty-six first grade pupils this week. Miss Porcla Bunn slxty-flve in the second, and Miss Kate Young fif ty-four in the third grade. Prof. Purks has arranged temporary accom modations by which the congestion in the first and second grades is re lieved. pending the arrival of the new desks. Miss Malline Bradford, one of our brightest young ladies, has been put in charge of the new room thus created. Prof. Purks expresses himself as much gratified at the excellent school spirit manifested. The Standard is especially glad to note that the liter ary work is to be continued, as this is one of the most practically use ful and far-reaching features of school life. The boys’ society has elected the following officers: President—H arold 11 utchens. Vice President—Featherston Bunn. Secretary—Waller Booz. Treasurer- John Hightower. Question Committee- Featherston Bunn, Waller Booz and Win. Coplan. The girls’ society Is organized as follows: President- Miss Annie Lon Wood. Vice President Miss Josephine Chapman. ..Secretary—Miss Inlta Janes. Treasurer—Miss Pauline Bailey. Question Committee -Misses Jose phine Chapman, Joe Pittman and Paul ine Phillips. The Senior Class is an unusually large one this year, and they have per fected an organization of their own, as follows: President- Fred Lolo. Vice President- John Hightower. Secretary Waller Booz. Treasurer Harold Hutchens. The School Board held its monthly meeting last Thursday, and adopted the following wise regulation as to en trance of pupils:- ‘‘Children who cannot be graded will not be allow* d to enter except during the first, month of the school year. Those under six years of age may enter at the beginning of the term if they will become 0 before the 1st of January following.” All children above the first grade, of course,can be classified by examination on entrance. First grade pupils can only be received without examina tion during the first four weeks of the school year. In its desire to give Eastview rep resentation on the Board, that body overlooked one of its own regulations, now embodied in the school charter, to the effect that there must be no kinship between members of the Board hereafter chosen and members o f ti e faculty. They elected Mr. S. F. Marshall, who Is a brother-in-law of Miss Adele Waddell who is one of our most popular teachers, to succeed .Mr. R. J. Armstrong, who recently moved to Augusta. Mr. Mar shall will not accept under the cir cumstances, although he is greatly in terested In securing that much needed school in Eastview. It is to be regret ted that this new rule of the Board will deprive the city of the services of so good a citizen in this capacity. There is no more emphatic proof of Cedartown’s raidd growth than the increased attendance at our public schools, and they are the most Impor tant enterprise we have. Every good citizen rejoices heartily at their suc cess and at their splendid prospects. POE SALE AT A BARGAIN. 1 Cheese Cutter. 2 Small Show Cases. 1 Platform Scales Trucks. • 2 Delivery Wagons. M.
