9TH PLAIN SCHooL.-Mr. Editor: Please
permit US through your columns to inform
the patrons that our school will commence
the 9Th day of September with the anticipa-
ton of nine months term, having vacation
during the month of December As the pros
poets of our school, as well as all others, de-
ponds to great extent upon the punctuality
OF the pupils, We therefore hope the parents
will consider this matter and start their chill
dren at the opening OF the term and send them
regularly, which will not only confer great
favor upon the teacher by lessening his Ia
bors but will surely rebound to the good of
their children by the means Of rapid advance
mcnt. Although there has been contentious
spirit manifested upon school matters in this
district it is immaterial to us and we have
therefore had nothing to say in the matter
and hope that whatever trouble may arise in
the future that we will have the cooperation
of every parent in the government Of our
school. And we pledge ourselves to use every
effort to advance the children in their studies;
elevate their minds, and teach them morality
and politeness not only by precept but exam
pie. 8. E. CRAWFORD, teacher.
