Pupils of the fourth to the sixth grades living in the central school district and now attending Robert. B. Johnson and Samuel Woodfill Schools also will attend the new school.

Any child living within the district and who will be six years old before next April 26 may enroll at the new school, D. W. Bridges, Superintendent, announced. the child, however, must be registered within two weeks after the school is opened, he said.

A general reception, which will be open to the public so that they may inspect the new edifice will be held at a later date, it was said.
