day in September and continue nine
months, if the funds hold out so
long, which it is believed they will
The school will be more carefully and
thoroughly graded than ever before,
and it is hoped that, with the addi-
ton of the fourth teacher and the
otherwise increased facilities being
supplied by our wide awake board of
trustees, our teachers may be able to
accomplish very satisfactory results.
The course of study for the year is
being arranged for two terms of four
months each, the first term closing
with the holidays The second term
will be extended to five months and
the work TO be accomplished extended
accordingly, if it is found the funds
will justify it.
1t is especially desirable that all
pupils may start in at the beginning
of the term. Those who start in late
will necessarily be compelled to enter
lower grade than if they start in at
the beginning.
Let no pupil come into the school
expecting TO enter the same class he
was in last year, after the said class
has had month or so the start OF
him, for it can not be done. If Il
number of persons are going TO start
from the same place and go to anoth-
er place they can not travel together
unless they start together. So it is
with the school. All must move
along in groups, and you can moi
enter a group that is to 60 ovel
ground you have not been over unless
you are on hand at the start.
The "common school, work is di.
vided into ten grades, each grade
having a certain amount of work tt
accomplish in a certain length O
time, and the only way to accomplish
that work is to start in at the begin
ming and keep at it.
1t is to be hoped that parents vii
realize that although every tru
teacher is anxious to do the best tina
is possible under the circumstance
for every pupil, yet the nature of tn
case is such that the absence of til
pupil from any part of the term vii
. necessarily and unavoidably detrac
very materially from his progress, an
no other part of the term is so in
portant to the child as the beginning
