Unless other cases of scarlet
fever develop in town, and it is.
hoped there will not, the fall term j
of Perry Public School will begin J
at the announced time, the first |
Monday in September next.
With a force" of carpenters, Con-
tracter Campbell is at work on the
building, and he says all the work,
except the painting, will be com
pleted in time for the school to
open on the day appointed. The
building will be very much im
proved in appearance, convenience
and the comfort it will afford.
The institution already is de
servedly popular as a high school
of superior merit, and it is the
purpose of the board of education
and teachers to steadily increase
that merit.
The Schpol is divided into nine
grades, with three teachers, but it
is hoped the attendance will war
rant the addition of another grade
and the election of another teach
er directly after the next term be
gins.
The teachers are instructors of
high merit and successful exper
ience, and with earnest faithful
ness they will work to increase
the direct and positive usefulness
of the school to the pupils.
The social, moral and religious
influence and privileges surround
ing the school are most excellent,
and in connection with the school
there will be ample opportunity
for instruction in art ‘and music
un’der the supervision of excellent
teachers.
Board in private families can be
secured at moderate rates.
Altogether, pupils beyond the
course of the public schools of
Houston and other oounties, and
those desiring preparation for
college, could not be better placed
than in the school at Perry.
Festival at the Armory.
There will be a Festival given
at the Armory, for the benefit of
the parsonage, on the evening of
the 26th of August, next Monday.
Refreshments of all kinds will be
served from four o’clock in the af
ternoon, until 12 at night. The
lawu will be lighted, and furnished
with chairs and tables tastefully
decorated. Bright, happy young
faces will be there to smile a wel
come on all who come. A full
dress drill will add to the festivi
ties of the occasion.
Everybody is cordially invited
to come and help the ladies re
move the last little debt from the
parsonage. Committee.
