School Items.

The next session of the Russell ville Graded School will begin Sept. l5.
 Quite number of students from out side the district is expected. A limited number in the High School IS desired.
 Our school intends to give students as good advantages as they can receive any where. No pupil should be sent from home to school until he has com pleted the High school cause here.
 Pupils who did not pass the final examination at the close of last ses sion will be examined at the beginning of the term. It would be well for such to review their studies during the sum- mer.
 A School System ought to provide a complete course of instruction running from our common and graded schools through the High Schools of the spec iai districts to the State University or our Arkansas Colleges.
 The time has passed when 1t Is nee essary to send our boys and girls to other states to be educated.
 Our state schools are equal, and in many instances, superior to the schools which derive their whole support from Arkansas and Texas students. Think of these things.
