SCHOOL NOTES
All persons interested in what our
school Is doing, will find in this column
from time to time, news and sugges
tions from the school.
If the furniture can be secured In
time the fourth grade will commence
next Monday, October 2. Miss Byers,
of Independence, has been engaged
to" take charge of that room..
The enrollment is steadily increas
ing and we expect by New Years to
have the largest attendance ever re
corde'd in Lexington. .The slowness
with which some pupils are enrolling Is
a great ( disadvantage. It would help
not only then? but, the rest of, the
schol also, If tney would enroll more
promptly. )
It is our desire to have every boy
and girl in Lexington attend school,
and to this end we have some new In
ducements to offer. As soon as the
fourth room commences any boy or
girl who is desirous of taking up work
In any of the school branches and does
not have the time to take the entire
course along with the regular class
may come and be given special work.
A class of this kind Is under way of
organization at the present time. It
is our aim to make it possible for ev
ery boy and girl in town to obtain
some good from the school, if they so
desire. Of course it would be much
better to take the regular course and
we advise if possible for the pupils to
do so. ;
The ninth 'grade class will com
mence work next Monday. A class of
ten Is ready to enroll. The work of
this grade will include Composition,
Algebra, Physical Geography and
Bookkeeping. Special attention will
be given to boo'kkeping and the same
materia! and system as used by the
San Francisco Business College will
be used here. '. There are several ad
vantages to be gained from a course of
this kind. First; It is the system us
ed by all business colleges. Second;
From it you can get an idea about
bookkeeping and decide whether you
wish to make a more complete study
of. It. Third; Any one taking the
course given here can complete the
entire regular course In any college
In about three months, while If you
have no knowledge of bookkeeping be
fore entering the business college It
will take six months or more to do the
work, thus it Is readily seen that on
account of the great expense of stay
ing In a city It would be advlslble to
take a course here. , As one of the
chief aims In bookkeeping is neatness
in work a fourth reason be added.
Work In typewriting will also be added
to this course if enough desire it.
