Hazlehurst Public Schools Will Open
1929-30 Term Next Monday A. M.
Most Excellent Corps Of
Teachers Selected
Ro Mo NAB‘RS, SUP’T.
The Haszlehurst Public School
will open Monnay, September
2nd, at 9:00 o’clock. The board
feel that they have been suc
cessful in securing & most
unusual faculty for the coming
year. There are five new mem
bers of the teaching corps and
they all come to us with the
very highest recommendations.
The town is already familar
with the excellent work done
by the hold-over members of the
faculty.
Mr. C. T. McArthur, the
principal, is a graduate of Mer
cer and has had four years
successful experience as prin
cipal of the Ocilla High School.
Mrs. C. T. McArthur, who will
teach the seeond grade, has
taught for several years in the
Cordele City Schools. Miss
Florence Hogan comes to teach
the fifth grade after having
taught for two years in Odom.
Miss Elizabeth Carter, in the
high school department, taught
last year in Monticello. While
at Wesleyan Miss Carter was
for three years a member of
the varsity basketball team.
She will coach the girls’ team
here. Miss Molly Weils, ex
pression teacher, is a graduate|
‘of Shorter College. During her
college course she had consider
: ience in _directing
in the Dramatic Arts depart
ment and we are expecting.
much from this department mni
our school this year. |
The full corps of teachers is
as follows: R. M. Nabers, Supt.,
Chemistry and History; C. T.
McArthur, Cordele, Ga., Mathe
matics and coach; Mrs. E. B.
Cromartie, English; Miss Eliza-
Jbeth-Carter, Edison, Ga., French
Latin and Girls Ccach; Gram
mar School: Mrs. Elizabeth

grade; Mrs. C. T. McArthur,
Cordele, Ga., second grade and
Miss Mary Francis Nash, Lin
colnton, Ga., first grade and
librarian. ‘
The board of education has
plans for placing the Hazlehurst
High School on the Scuthern
Accredited List this year. This
would mean that graduates
from our e#chool would be ad
mitted to any college in the
gsouth without an entrance
examination. The repuirements
for admission to thic group are
very high and rigidly enforced.
It will be a distinct credit to
our town and county if the
board -s able to carry through
this program. Our school now
has the highest rating given by
the State of Georgia, but itis
the aim and policy of theboard
to show some decided improve
ment every year. We know
that we have a school here that
compares favorable with the
best in the state and naturally
.feel' that recognition by the
Southern Accrediting Board is

matter which Mr. Nabors is
very anxious to put clearly
before the patrons and pupils
before school opens. That is,
a pupil who has failed in one or
two subjects must go back to
his _former grade and stand an
examination before he can enter
the next highest highest grade.
In other words, a teacher wilj
not be allowed to accept in any
grade a child without a duly
signed.prometion card from the
teacher of the next lowest
grade, This is the policy fol
lowed in the largest and most
efficient schools of the country.
When carried out this will sure
ly mean a higher standard in
the school and will work out to
the lasting benefit of both pupil
and teacher. In the last analy
sis the sole purpose of our public
gchools of today is to prepare
the coming generations to be
better and more useful citizens.
And we feel that this lesson of
thoroughness is the first lesson
in the right direction. There
fore, all pupils who failed in
one or two subjects should come
to school on Monday prepared
to stand an examination on
those subjects.
The books used in the gram
mar grades are fixed by the
State Board of Education. This
year will find a few changes.
The high school texts are de
cided upon by the superinten
dent with the help of the high
school faculty. These books
may be secured from the local
Wmimdwm%bgt
as many pupils as possible bring
their books to school on Monday
because lessons will be assigned
then and grading on recitations
will begin on Tuesday.
The high school books are as
follows: Eighth grade:—Com
plete Algebra, Carpenter and
Edgerton, First Year Latin,
Ullman & Henry, High School
Word Book, Early Eixropean‘

The teachers this year are
very anxious for the patrons to
visit the classrooms. In this
way you will be able to see
what progress is being made
and you will become acquainted
with the needs of the school.
The interest ycu manifest by
‘visiting the school will make
the work of the teachers much
“more pleasant and enable them
-to do better work. By alFmeans
a large attendance of .4he .pa
trons is urged for the first day.

““I suffered with stomach and
kidney trouble for more than
twenty years. I had periodie
bilious attacks, with severe
pains in my right side. I was
so nervous I seldom slept well,
so I naturally felt ,tired’ and
listless in the “mornings. A
sort of rheumatie condition set
in around my hips and ankles
and my whole svstem seemed
poisoned. I also had to take
something frequently for cone
stipation. .
“‘I was simply amazed at the
wonderful results I received
from four bottles\of Sargen and
two of the Sargon Soft Mass
Pills. I’ve gained seven pounds
I have a fine appetite and am
never troubled any more by my
stomach and kidueys. Tbke ner
vousness is gone and I get
plenty cf good sound sleep. Al
the biliousness and rheumatism
have disappeared—and now I
