RENEW NOW RENEW NOW VOL. XXXII. FAYETTE)VILLE, GEORGIA, AUGUST 19,1921. 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. SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 EAST SIDE. Miss Mary McHan of Atlanta spent last week-end with her aunt, Mrs. J. C.

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.
