Time Changed.

Time Changed.
We are requested TO announce that,
owing to the interruption caused by
the Morgan's Grove Exhibition the
first week in September, the Board of
Education have postponed the open
ing of the public schools of this dis
trict until Monday, September 10th.
Let the patrons make arrangements
for the prompt attendance of the
children at that time, and let the
children gather up their books, states,
pencils. etc. and be ready TO enter
heartily upon their school years
work. The teachers will enter upon
their duties this year with less heart
in their work than last year and with
no encouragement TO persevere in the
good work and improvements in the
schools which they have undertaken.
The Board of Education have been
compelled, against their own better
judgment, by the persistent appeals
OF some persons in the community,
taxpayers but having no personal in
terests in the public schools, and a
few others who patronize the schools,
TO reduce the salaries Of the teachers
to the minimum thus taking away
the reward which experience and
skill brings TO every occupation in
life Let the patrons and pupils, then,
resolve that they will so act this year
as to make up, in some measure, for
the want of that encouragement
which work well performed deserves
and should receive at the hands of
a grateful people.
