From Prof. j. A. Wood, superintendent
of the public schools OF East Las Vegas, an
UPTrc reporter learns that, on Monday
morning, Sept. 7th. the public schools OF
East Las Vegas will resume work. The
three different buildings are being put In
arst- class shape to insure the comfort and
health alike OF teachers and pupils. The
committee and the janitor arc giving the
academy building such a thorough over
hauling ana cleaning as it has probably
never had before. The broken windows
and plastering have been carefully re-
paired, all rooms neatly r~e-papered, and
the desks, floors and woodwork all
thoroughly washed and secured. The
dampness OF the building, formerly COM
planned of, was caused by improper ar
rangements Of the water pipes and tho
.spouting from the roof. These are being
carefully arranged, 90 as to insure the
best possible sanitary conditions In the
future. In short, the academy rooms will
be about the most pleasant In the city.
Now, as to where the pupils will 20, the
first day: All pupils will sssem-
Bile ia Miss Minnie Holzman's room In the
public school building and there they will
be classified, the more advanced ones going
into the second room, where Miss Ella g.
B DOM will take charge Of them.
those who received promotion cards
from Mics Holzman's room, will
up stairs on the casts side
of the hall, where Miss Belle Rog-
ers will be their teacher. Those who re-
promotion cards from Miss Rogers
room, will go upstairs into Mrs. Matte
Garlick's room. Those who were prUmot-
ed from Mrs. sallie Douglas' room, will 60
to the academy building into the first room
at the right, as they 60 up the steps, where
Mrs. Douglas will again be their teacher.
Those who were promoted from Mrs. Gar
will go to the academy build
ing, upstairs, into the room ON the west
side of the hall, where Miss Catharine
O'Keefe will take charge Of them. Those
who were promoted from Miss Williams
room, will go into the academy, upstairs,
into the room on the east side of the hail,
and Miss Flora Beschle will be their teach
err. Those who were promoted from Miss
Maggie Bucher's room, will go to the acad-
envy, into the room on the east side of the
hall, down stairs, where Miss Lucy Stone
will preside. Those who were promoted
from Miss Stones room, will return to the
same room where they we're, last year, In
the city building, Miss Butcher taking
The high school will occupy the
room in the city building as before,
and be in charge of Miss Belle Henry. The
superintendent will heal classes in the city
building and be here and there in the other
b 1ildings, as the occasion demands and
duty calls. His Office hours will be from s
10 8 O'Clock a. M, In the city building, be-
next Monday morning, August
,1st. where he will be pleased to meet any
desiring to talk over school affairs.
Now, a word to careless parents: The
BOARD of education have spent much time
md money in securing the best possible
chool facilities for your children. It
'osts just as much to run the schools when
,our children are absent as it does when
hey are present. The teacher is there,
room Is warmed, the desk is reserved,
nd the classes in which your children
hould recite are called, just the same.
Now, will you not see that your children
ire all ready to start to school, the first
lay? Every day lost is lost forever. But
ays one Chimes are very close and / do
lot think ! can get my children ready to
tart at the opening, but | will do the best
can" Well, that is all any one can do,
ut it is very necessary that they be there
t the opening, unless they are enough
than the others to catch up.
Now and then, a large boy or girl is met
Tho imagines he or she lie too old to go to
chool any more, and must quit and do
omething to make money. Without argu-
,g this point, it may be safely stated that
such will rue it a thousand times before
hey are five years older.
Another point which parents must bear
, mind is that the halliday system in the
rat primary has been abolished. All
hildren over six years old will 60 all day.
The outlook for the year is very good, and
is hoped and expected that the city will
ave the best schools this year it has ever
ad. Consultations concerning the best
OF the children are solicited at
ny time, and parents and friends will
ways be made welcome.
Those pupils whose promotion from sixth
. seventh grade is conditional, may be
e-examined at the city hall, Tuesday,
eptember 1st, at 8 O'Clock a. m. They are
to report, with all material,
lentally and otherwise.
