OPENING OF SCHOOL.
Fall Term Will Begin Monday Sep
TENDER 8.

Fall Term viii Begin Monday Sep
TENDER 8.
On Monday, September 8, the fall
term of the Ottumwa public schools
will begin and the many students in
the city are looking forward to that
event with different degrees of delight
or other feelings which are wont to
crop out at this season of the year
among the students who are at pres
ent well satisfied with the good time
they are having, and are not quite
ready to return to the duties, of the
school room.
During the summer extensive i'm
provements have been made in the va
rious buildings in the city, and when
the bell rings next Monday morning
everything will be in first class shape
to accommodate the large number Of
students that are expected this year.
The high school, being a new building,
has not needed any improving, altho
the floors have all been oiled, and sew
eral new closets put in the laborato-
ries. Nevertheless between $500 and
$500 has been expended for new ap-
raratus and right here it might be
well to say that the high school labor
atories are fast becoming the finest
of any high school laboratories in the
state, and no doubt they are in many
respects equal to those of many col
leges. Among other of the new things
added is large relief globe which was
purchased at the cost of about $50, and
which will be used by the physical ge-
ography classes.
1t is expected by the faculty of the
high school that the total attendance
at the beginning of this term will be
nearly 400 students, which shows a
good gain over 315, the enrolment at
this time last year. Prof. e. G. PIERCE
has made arrangements to have the
students call at the high school build
ing either Thursday or Friday of this
week to get the enrolment cards. In
this manner he hopes to get the regu-
lar program in running order by Tues
day morning at the latest, and also
avoid the confusion of getting every
one in the right session room which
heretofore has always taken consid-
cradle time. A day will also be set
apart this week for those who have
made up work this summer, at which
time they may take the examinations
required for advancement. The date
has not yet been announced. Mr..
Pierce also stated that it was the in
tention to publish booklet early this
year which will contain complete
description of the studies in the high
! school. This will be Of advantage to

By the Governor.-A Proclamation:
Custom made the first Monday in
September holiday, and the statutes
of our state have wisely Endorsed the
selection. The steadily growing in
terest in the occasion is gratifying
indication. In harmony therefore with
law and custom, recommend that on
Monday, September 3, 1900, there be
to the largest practical extent cessa-
ton of labor thruout the state OF Iowa,
and that the day be devoted to appro-
pirate exercises and healthful recrea-
ton. Especially would l recommend
that in this time of exceptional pros
perity all employers of labor grant the
most ample opportunity for those in
their employ to participate in the GER
emonies and festivities of the occasion
The last Labor Day of the nineteen
century should be made suspicious of
more friendly and congenial relations
between citizens and the obliteration
of all class distinctions.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed the great seal of the state.
