There seems to be a general de
mand for a regularly established
hoarding department at the Scotland
Neck graded school that will give
che boys and girls of the county an
opportunity to make use of the ad
vantages offered at this school. The
superintendent is not in a position to
take boarders; but realizing that
parents who send their childern away
from home to school want them to
be under the authority of some re
sponsible person, he has decided to
take the boys into his home and has
arranged for table board for them
nt a convenient p'ace. There is room
for 16 boys in the superintendants
Home and boys placed in his care will
be looked after by him personally as
o their habits, hours of study, hours
Arrangements can be made to se
cure board and lodging.for girls in
private families. The superintend
ent will be glad to co-operate with
the patrons of the school who live
outside of the district in making the
best arrangement possible for their
sons and daughters. Any one hav
ing boys or girls to send off to school
should investigate the advantages
offered by the Scotland Neck graded
school before deciding where to send
ti cm .
The superintendent will be in his
office every day and will be glad to
see or correspond with any one who
is interested.
