To the Patrons OF tho Lamar Pub
lie Schools.

The beginning of another school term
is at hand, and with it come the many
questions pertaining to the school and
its work. The relations between the
teacher and parent should always be
close. Each should be easily approached
on the question OF school work, as cor
dial discussion OF this matter will fire.
quently lead both parent and teacher to
better understanding of the conditions
surrounding the child; and at the same
time it will clear away many misunder-
standings, bring teacher and parent
closer together, and in the end enhance
the welfare of the child.
1t is well at this time to call attention
to the fact that the quality of pupils
work during any term depends largely
on what is accomplished during the first
few weeks of school II the pupil be-
comes thoroughly aroused and interested
at the first, the term is almost certain to
be fraught with good results. 1t is hoped
that every effort will be made by parents
and teachers, not only to see that pupils

an interest in school work. The citizens
OF Lamar have been liberal toward the
school; the school in turn should respond
to the generous spirit OF its patrons by
offering the best facilities for the educa-
ton OF their children. To this end we
ask the cooperation OF all in making the
present term one OF the very best in the
history OF our school.
The interest already manifested in the
high school as result of adding the
third years work is most encouraging.
A number of pupils who have not atten-
ded the school heretofore have indicate d
their intention to take high school work
this year. j shall be at the school build
ing next Saturday at 10 n. m. to meet
any pupils who wish to arrange their
work for the year. This will enable those
who are not now classified to enter their
classes Mt once School will begin on
Monday, September 9Th.
TO THE PUPILS:
When school opens resolve:
To begin on the first day.
To be present every day.
To be on time.
To have good lessons.
To be obedient
To conquer difficulties
To be cheerful and bright
To win the confidence of yonr teacher,
Todeserye the love OF your companions.
To gain the approval OF your parents.
To avoid hasty words and rude actions.
To be generous and kind.
To do better work than ever before.
To be an honor to the school.
To become the pride OF your teachers
and parents.
