1915 Rural School Graduation

Henry Republican, Henry, IL June 17, 1915

On the week of July 26, will be held the annual County Teacher's institute in the school house at Lacon. The graduating exercises of the eighth grades of rural schools will take place on the afternoon of July 28. Seventy children will participate and all from the rural schools throughout the county. Superintendent Nichols arranged with the superintendents of the seven city schools of the county to hold the graduation exercises of their eighth grade pupils at their own school buildings, thus separating them from the rural school exercises. This is a fine idea nd worthy of a great deal of thought, consideration and preparation. - Transcribed by Nancy Piper
