NUMBER 5.
NOTICE TO THE PUPILS AND
PATRONS OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL
Attention is called to the new plan
for registration adopted by the trus
tees of the Fayetteville school district.
For a pupil to be able to enter on
Monday morning, September the fifth,
he must have enrolled before that time.
On or before Friday, the third, all pu
pils who wish to enter classes on Mon
day must have enrolled by presenting
promotion cards and receipts for en
trance fees. The more of these regis
trations that are arranged before this
time, the easier it will be to handle
the crowd on Friday, the regular reg
istration day. |
The fact should also be noted that
those who have not paid fees due last
spring will be required to arrange this
indebtedness before enrollment will be
allowed. In (order to prevent delayed
enrollment or possible embarrassment
on the part of those who may find it
difficult to pay those fees as well as
those of the ensuing term promptly,
the board of trustees has provided that
a short time note may be given. All
financial arrangements should be
made with T. R. Gay, treasurer of the
board.

Attention Is Called to the
Compulsory Attend
ance Georgia
Law.
The fall term of the Fayetteville
Public school .will open on Monday
September 5th. Despite the fact that
the new building is not ready, the
prospects are brighter than ever be
fore. The enrollment, which for the
last two years has crowded the old
building and demanded an increase in
the faculty, will probably be larger
than ever.
The faculty has been increased again
and there is every indication that be
fore Christmas the trustees will be
able to provide a teacher for every
grade. With the new building com
pleted and equipped with an auditor
ium,—which we must make every ef
fort to build—and with a well-equipped
teacher for each grade, we shall have
very nearly the best that there is to
offer in elementary schools.
The high school also has made rapid
strides. A Department of Home Eco
nomics last year, new equipment for
the laboratories, and in the new build
ing, adequate laboratory and library
space, will leave nothing to be desired
for completeness and efficiency. The
addition of Vocational courses for
boys through the Smith-Hughes fund
is being contemplated by the board
for the near future. We doubt wheth
er there is any other school in the
state in such a lively state of progress
as the Fayetteville High School. With
in the last two years the enrollment
has doubled, the faculty has been
doubled, the program of studies has
been enriched, the equipment is being
made complete, the building will be
adequate, the interest and co-operation
of the people of Fayetteville and Fay
ette county is constant and forward-
looking.
It is of special importance to the
county at large that the Fayetteville
High school, recognized as standard
by the Southern Association of Schools
and Colleges, is the official four-year
high school of the county and that
tuition is free to all Fayette county
pupils. The regular entrance fee of
two dollars and fifty cents is all that
is required of any Fayette county high
school pupil.
It is requested of parents that they
enroll their children on or before
the Registration day, Friday, Septem
ber 2nd. This is for the purpose of
saving time usually lost on the first
day. This may be done at any time
before the time mentioned by calling
at the Superintendent’s office and pre
senting promotion card and receipt
for the entrance fees. Unless pupils
enter the first day of school they can
not get all there is in the school year
for them. Promotion cards are not
valid after the first month though the
work lost must be made up.
Those expecting to enter children
in the Primary department for the
first time must enter at the beginning
of the term. They will not be ad
mitted late in the year because of the
injustice to those who entered at the
beginning of the term.
Attention is also called to the com
pulsory attendance law of Georgia,
which compels every child between
the ages of 8 and 14 and through the
seventh grade to attend school regular
We are glad to note that Messrs.
Sam Thornton and C. C. Travis are re
covering from a long and tedious spell
of fever. We will be glad to see them
out on the streets.
