The last group of Johnston county schools will open next Monday, when the six months school get started. The county superintendent urges in the following statement that parents make an effort to start their children the first day.
“All of the six months schools in Johnston county will open Monday, November 1st. We are urging the parents to make a special effort to get their children in school on the opening day and keep them there during the session. Especially do we wish to urge the entrance of the children who are to go this year for the first time. These little tots cannot do much in the way of picking cotton and their attendance in school at the opening is very necessary as they are unable to do any studying for themselves, and the teacher cannot help beginning the work over and over for the little folks who come in late. If it is impossible for all your children to attend the first week of school, please make a special effort to let the beginners come in at this time as their entering late will retard and not only their own progress, but that of the whole year’s work for the school.”
