MISS FLORENCE PATTON MCKEE. Music Report of Board of Directors We think Franklinton the most desirable location in the parish for a good school. The health of the town and community is equal to any in this part of the State. There is no local cause whatever for disease. Our citizens are plain, enterprising, moral, and religious. Our daily mails, double daily railroad service, and other public utilities af- ford every necessary facility for communication with every part of the country. The school has been well graded, and the work of each grade has been definitely planned so as to leave no gap in the primary education of any one who takes the full course. This, the most commendable feature of the school, provides thorough preparation for those who wish to enter higher institutions of learning, and offers a good high school education to those who are unable to pursue their studies further. In order to accommodate the increased attend- ance, an annex has been made to the building, consisting of two large rooms. The school is furnished throughout with modern desks, and the assembly hall is fitted up with comfortable opera chairs. The music department has been built up, and there are two pianos for the use of the stud- ents. The library has been increased by the addition of _______volumes, and five book-cases. All students have ac- cess to these books and are required to read them. We take pleasure in announcing that we have a good school, and feel that we can safely recommend it to those who are seeking a sound and practical education for their children. The term just closed has been very successful, both in point of attendance and work done. We feel greatly en- couraged by the support given our school by the citizens in every part of the Parish. We tender our thanks to the friends of the Franklin Central Institute for the encourag- ing support they have given, and solicit their co-operation during the next session. We refer you to the following pages for further infor- mation concerning the school. J.K. Johnson, President. J. W. Bateman, Secretary. T. M. Babington, Treasurer. Thomas D. Foil. J. M.

Announcements We again desire to call the attention of the people of the town and parish to the advantages offered them educationally by the Franklinton Central Institute. The Faculty is composed of earnest and experienced teachers. The school is properly graded and the pupils at all times know their standing. Every boy and girl of this parish should be consider- ing where to secure the best advantages in an educational way. They should realize the great importance of an education and should be making every effort to secure the same. It does not make any difference how many diffi- culties we meet in trying to become something in the world if we are able to overcome them. The Franklinton Central Institute offers the greatest advantages in over- coming the many difficulties that confront our boys and girls. Those living in the rural districts are compelled to go away from their home schools to receive a high school education. They should come here because it is closer home, will cost them less, and will give them as good advantages as any high school in the State; and besides it will be building up the country by elevating its own citizenship. This year's work should be made the most successful one in the history of the school, for no school is an entire success unless there is continual progress. Purpose It is the purpose of the Franklinton Central Institute to afford to the children and youths of Franklinton and the surrounding country adequate means for securing, at the greatest convenience and least possible cost, graded and high school training equal to any in the State, which will enable them to enter our best colleges and universi- ties. To the Public The past year's work has been a splendid success and we do not feel that all the honor belongs to the teachers, but that you have contributed your part willingly and with an eye to the success of the Franklinton Central Institute. This is right. A good school is absolutely indispensable to the upbuilding of a community or parish. We feel complimented that we are to remain with you another year as Principal. In doing this work we ask a continuance of your co-operation and that you will stand by us in the discharge of our duties. We know you are in- terested in the progress of your children. To make this eminently satisfactory we must have your hearty co-oper- ation. Consult with us frequently, and encourage your children and us by visiting the school. It should be a pleasure to you. The success of the school demands harmonious action on the part of the teachers, the board and the patrons. It should be the pride of everyone to conduce himself as though the success of the school depended upon his indi- vidual action. Let every one forget self, and keep the welfare of the school above everything else. Let it be our school, and under no circumstances criti- cise the school or its faculty before your children, but give it your strongest support in spirit and sentiment as well as in a financial way. Hoping for the most pleasant relations and a most profitable year's work, we are, Yours truly, A.B. Peters. (PAGE 5 MISSING) CONTINUED PAGE 6 ties, if they should so desire to continue their education. Not only is it the purpose of the school to fit the pupils for college, but as all true education is character building, no efforts will be spared in instilling into them higher ideals of life, morally, mentally and religiously. Every possible influence will be exerted to inspire the pupils to a more honorable and more useful future life. Music Department This department will be in charge of a competent teacher who will not only instruct her pupils in the theory and practice of music, but will endeavor at all times to create within each pupil a love for the best music. Each pupil who can possibly afford it, will be urged to take advantage of the opportunities afforded in this depart- ment of the work. Boarding Department The Dormitory will be run on the co-operative plan by Professor and Mrs. A. B. Peters. Lecture Course With a view to promote general culture among the pupils and to furnish them pleasant and profitable enter- trainmen, a series of lectures and entertainment will be given by celebrated speakers at intervals during the sessions. Literary society There has been organized and is maintained in the school by the advanced pupils a Literary Society. The object of this society is to aid its members in the develop- ment of composition, declamation, debate and oratory. This work will be under the personal supervision of the teachers, and subjects will be assigned and references given by them as far as possible. Each pupil is required to join this society and take part in this work. Churches We have here a methodist and a Baptist church, and all students, especially those boarding here, are urged and expected to attend church and Sunday school at one or the other of these churches. Examinations Written recitations will be given at regular intervals with frequent reviews that train the student to accurate statement and impress them more strongly with the work gone over. In addition to these, written examinations will be held quarterly for the advanced students, if deemed necessary by the teachers, in determining the standing of the pupils. Diplomas will be granted to those who com- plete the course of study and stand a satisfactory examin- ation in the same. Nothing but sickness will excuse pupils from these examinations. Tuition All tuition must be paid in advance. This includes music. No deduction made for less than two weeks at any time, and then sickness must be the excuse. All tuition and graduation fees must be paid in full before diploma is issued. Calendar Fall Term begins September 2, 1907; closes December 20, 1907. Spring Term of five months begins Monday, December 30, 1907, and closes May 15, 1908. Rules and Regulations 1. The school is divided into three departments-the Primary, Intermediate, and the High School. The Pri- mary consists of the First, Second, Third and Fourth Grades; the Intermediate of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Grades; the High School of the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Grades. 2. The school year consists of four terms of nine weeks each, exclusive of Christmas week, unless sooner discharged by order of the Board. 3. If possible, students should present themselves for admission at the beginning of each term. 4. For promotion a grade of 75 per cent is required. Any pupil making an average grade of 70 per cent in all subjects except two and at least 60 per cent on each of these two subjects, may be promoted conditionally. Such pupils are required, either by special study and examina- tion or class work, to bring all grades up to 75 per cent. before applying for graduation. Promotion may be made at any time during the year on recommendation of the teacher and concurrence of the Principal. 5. The last week of each term is devoted to making such reviews as have not been previously made and to finish up the work of the term. 6. Each term shall have a separate grade book in which the standing of each pupil in each subject of each quarter shall be recorded. 7. All complaints of parents or guardians must be made to the Principal, with the privilege of appealing to the board. 8. No pupil shall be changed from one grade to another without express permission of the Principal. 9. Promotion cards shall be granted to all those who reach the required standard, and no teacher shall make any requirements nor adopt any methods, not herein contained, without the consent of the Principal. 10. Pupils completing the course and passing a satis- factory examination will be granted a High School diploma Teachers 1. Assistants shall cooperate in every way with the Principal in the performance of their duties, as shall best promote the interests of the school, and shall adopt no methods or device disapproved by the Principal. They shall see that their pupils comply with the school regula- tions and that their rooms are kept in order. 2.They shall discipline as well as teach the pupils of their respective rooms, but shall secure the advice and cooperation of their Principal when necessary. 3. Teachers are required to report for duty twenty-five minutes before school in the morning, and fifteen minutes before taking up in the afternoon. Patrons and Pupils 1. Patrons are earnestly requested and they are urged to send their children regularly to school after they have been once enrolled. It is their duty to see that they are punctual in attendance. At the opening of school in September, the regular term of admission, parents should have their children enrolled, that they may be properly classified. A delay of a few days is felt throughout the session; it produces confusion in organization and classifi- cation. 2. The seat of a pupil who is continually absent or tardy will not be kept reserved, nor shall it be reserved to the deprivation of others who may desire to occupy it. To be irregular is to make no satisfactory progress. An excuse in writing signed by the parent or guardian, must be required of the pupil by the teacher, for any case of absence or tardiness, provided the excuse rendered by the pupil is unsatisfactory. 3. Parents shall furnish their children with all the books and stationery required by the rules of the school, and no child not thus furnished shall be continued. 4. It is the duty of parents to see that children, in attending school, are neat and clean in person and dress. 5. It is also their duty to teach their children lessons of obedience to the constituted authorities of the school and subordination to the rules thereof, as no child will be retained whose conduct is refactory and whose intention is not to submit to the government of the school 6. Pupils shall not be permitted (except by special permission), to enter the school building before 8:30 o'clock, nor to loiter around the same, either before or after the regular school hours; and they must proceed directly to and from school. 7. The pupils must in all cases be respectful and obedient to their own and all teachers, and polite in their intercourse with each other. They must be diligent in study, prompt in recitation, and observe propriety of deportment in school, during the recesses, and in coming to and from school. 8. Pupils will render themselves liable to expulsion by repeated and obstinate disobedience, quarreling, smok- king or chewing tobacco, smoking cigarettes, or having tobacco in any form on or about their person, defacing school property, truancy, or persistent violation of any of the rules or regulations. 9. Any pupil carrying fire-arms or other deadly weapons on the school premises shall be immediately suspended. 10. No pupil will be permitted to leave school to attend to other business, nor to leave the school grounds at inter- mission without permission. 11. Pupils who deface or injure the school property shall pay in full for all damages, and failure to do this within one week shall subject them to suspension by the Principal. 12. Pupils shall not play or loiter about the building after the school has been dismissed, but shall promptly proceed on their way home. 13. During the regular exercises of the school, pupils are required to abstain entirely from communication with one another, by speaking, writing, or by signs, without special permission of the teacher 14. Pupils who shall from indolence, irregularity, or inability, fall behind in their studies, shall not be advanced with their classes, unless by special effort they gain their standing. 15. Pupils who leave the school before the close of the school year shall not be permitted to join their respective classes until they have passed a satisfactory examination on the required studies. 16. Citizens, especially the parents and guardians of pupils, are always welcome visitors to the school. 17. Students are required to be in their respective rooms on study nights, making preparation for the follow- ing day. Janitors The janitors shall at all times be under the direction and control of the Principal and sahll faithfully perform such duties as he may prescribe.
