seems to meet with universal appro
val among the -colored people, pat
rons of the school.' 1
There will be only seven teachers
in the school this year as against
nine last year. This drop in the
number of the teachers .is;,due to the
operation of the new school law
Which prohibits the employment of
additional teachers above attendance
record of the school.
The opening date for the school
has not been decided upon yet. The
board is waiting for the principle to
arrive at which time the date will be
set and also the grades to be taught
by the different teachers announced.
The date, however, will. be sometime
early in October in order to get in
the seven months term authorized for
the school.
