PURDON SCHOOLS CLOSED LAST NIGHT WITH FINE PROGRAM The Purdon public schools closed their year’s work last night after what is considered one of the most successful sessions of this excellent township school. Prof. J. M. Glass is superintendent of the schools and he is assisted by an excellent corps of teachers, all of whom are reported to have done fine work during the session just closed, and teachers, pupils and patrons are well pleased with the work done. The commencement exercises were held last night, at which time Superintendent H. D. Fillers delivered the class address, his subject being “Training for Service,” which he handled in a manner that pleased the large audience greatly, and at the same time gave the graduates and others as well much food for thought. The program was quite pretentious last night, there being a salutatory, class will and valedictory, besides diplomas and medals given. There were six graduates , they being Gray Davis, Nell Ivey, Bertha Farmer, Elizabeth Womack, Irene Rhoads and Arthur Bolden. Purdon is in the full enjoyment of one of the best school systems in the county and the citizenship as a whole are behind the school in its every move for betterment, and are very proud of the work being done by the educational department of their little town.
