The Bolivar pubic school will
spen Monday, February 6, 1888,
and continue for five schoIa stie
months. The daily session will be
from $50 a. m, until 4 p. m. with
one hours interm1ssiOn at noon.
To insure 4 successful term, two
things are of paramount importance
ON the part of parents:
1. The thorough, cooperation Of
parents with thc teacher without
which no school can be successful
The rules of the school aud course
of study are such as will insure the
best results. Therefore we ask parents
to suAtain-uS in keeping good order
and discipline, and i'll trying to grade
the school. Our endeavor will be to
see that the pupil is thorough, ann
ing at quality rather than quantity,
2. Parents must see that their
children are punctual in attendance
and lose no time from sche j as
this more than all else tends to re-
tard the work of the school.
We would be glad to sac all who
intend entering do so during the
first week, as no new CLASSES can be
formed, after the school is once
graded. One rule will be rgIdly
enforced, namely: Pupils must be
in their places at the opening of the
morning and afternoon sessions.
Hardness and absence must be exo
cused by written request from the
parent.
Parents will please not procure
new books for their children until
they ascertain the proper kind, as
much useless expense will be thus
avoided. No change will be made
in textbooks, except that Ray 4

Parents and all friends of educa-
ton are cordially invited to WISH

at any time they see fit.
