 School beg ins next Monday.
 Prompt, regular attendance is nec- = essary for best results.
 The hearty cooperation of teachers. parents, and pupils is required for the success of any school.
 Study outside of school will be in. sisted upon. Parents are requested to see that pupils are engaged with their books every night during the school week.
 Sending to school should be matter of business. Give the pupils chance to make attending school business and then insist that everything else be made secondary to school duties.
 It is very important that pupils at tend the first of the session. Those who do not attend are sure to fall be- hind their classmates. They may re- quire year longer to complete the course.
 Do not buy school books until noti- fled by the teacher what are needed, Some grades that are promoted can dis pose Of their books to the next lower grade, thus making second hand books answer as far as possible.
 Five hundred twelve white children were enumerated in this district Sept. l. This will make the lower grades very much crowded. The teachers can not give the personal attention that could be shown smaller number. It Is a question of the near future to pro- vide seating room for our rapidly grow ing population.
 The Board hope to be able to have a nine months session this year. Nine months of earnest faithful work Will place our school on basis equal to any town in the state. By united effort we can make our school all that 1t ought to be and all that we would like to have 1t. This will require far less sac rifice and effort than some Of eur neigh boring towns have made, and will be worth far more to the people Of the town By the liberality of many of our citi- zens and the board Of education, to- gether with small library fund raised last year, one hundred and fifty dollars have been expended In apparatus and library. Many thanks are due to those who have so willingly contributed to- wards making the work Of the teachers more effective. Every one has not been seen. Contributions In books and money are solicited for our library. Books cost high. We need a working library very much.
 The boys and girls of Rnsseilyiiie should finish our high school course before they are sent away to school. The reason for this are so numerous and 80 obvious that 1t is strange so much money is spent In sending pu- pills away to do the work that could De done as we'll at home. The money could be spent much more wisely Tn giving higher education than pre- parstory one. Thus a college educa- tlon could be given at the same cost as the preparatory school.
 The teachers reserve the right of as- signing pupils to their place m school ana oi arranging the course of study TOT each one. Pupils who have been studying during the summer will be examined for higher grade if desired. otuaents who wish to prepare for any particular college will have their course shaped with reference to en- trance as near as convenient. Our 'SSouIse of study Is fixed and pupils will
 s required to take 1t all. The teacher s'ou'u De better judge of the course s,PuPis should take than the pupil
