Public School Announcement.

The public schools of Pullman
will open for the school year of nine
months on Monday, Sept. 3rd, at 8
n. m. Although the repairs and
improvements in progress at the
building will not be entirely com
pleted, yet their continuance will
not materially interfere with the
opening of the school.
Patrons of the school are urged
to start their children on the first
day and see that they attend every
day if possible. II is only in this
way that satisfactory results can be
accomplished Under the present
law for the apportionment of school
funds, this district receives about
ten cents per day for each pupil
while such pupil is in school, the
balance required for maintaining
the schools being raised mostly by
a special tax levied upon the prop
erty in the district. 1t thus is ap-
parent that for every single days
attendance by a pupil the special
tax of the district may be reduced
ten cents. By this plan the tax
payer is burdened not because his
child is attending school, but be-
cause he is not attending. Every
tax payer is interested in seeing
that each child of school age in the
district is in school every day. All
persons knowing of any child who
does not attend school regularly are
requested to report the facts in the
case to the clerk, Mr.. l.. Il. Miller,
SO that the matter may receive
proper attention.
Pupils not residing. in the dis

receipt from the clerk for tuition,
and present such receipt to the
principal before they can be as
signed a seat. The tuition charge
is one dollar per month
The state board of education has
adopted new series of text books
for use in the schools, and every
pupil must be provided with the
necessary books as condition of
admission to the school. The new
books are on sale at the dealers.
Old books will be received bv the
dealers as part pay for the new
ones, provided the old ones are of
the series formerly adopted and
used. 1t will be necessary for pu-
pills to present their old books at
school on the first day and have
the teachers certify that they are
exchangeable. They can then be
taken to the dealers and exchanged.
All pupils desiring to take exam
ination in branches in which they
were conditioned must be present
at the opening Any pupil who
has done work during vacation may
take examination for advan ced
standing upon application to the
principal.
A class of beginners will be re-
ceived in the first primary, but
such beginners must apply within
the first two weeks of the term.
None will be admitted who are un-
der six years OF age, or who will not
be six years old before the term
closes.
The coming year should be the
best in the history of the Pullman
schools, and there are good reasons
to hope that it will be. Much of
our success or failure. however, will
depend upon the attitude of the
patrons toward the school. Tndif-
ference on the part of parents often
leads children to conclude that
school is not matter of great i'm
portanCe. 1t matters not whether
this Indifference arise from being
absorbed in other affairs, or from a
supreme confidence in the ability
and integrity of the teacher and Of
ficers, the effect on the pupil is the
same. He reaches the conclusion
that since bis parents rarely men
tion and never visit the school, it
is to be regarded as matter of
minor concern to be endured until
it ends. Parents are urged to visit
the schools and to talk about them.
Say kind things if convenient; if
not, talk about us at any rate.
Neglect is very peor compliment.
The principal will be in his office
from 4 o'clock to 4:30 of each school
day to consult with patrons about
the welfare of pupils. Any of the
teachers will be glad, | am sure, to
have parents or guardians call up
on them in the interest of their
charges. If you have no fault to
find, kindly drop in and say SO; it
lightens the teachers burdens.
With kindly greeting for all,
and a hope that the opening year
will be one of mutual assistance
and marked success, | am,
Very Respectfully,

in this vicinity during the past
week arranging with farmers for the
planting of a considerable acreage
in sugar beets next spring. The
plan adopted by the factory is one
that should meet with favor by all
farmers. Where the farmers in one
locality will agree to put in plats
aggregating 200 to 800 acres, the
factory will execute a contract un-
der which there is no chance for
loss to the land owner. Under the
contract the farmer is to prepare the
land by blowing and subsoiling,
and get it ready for the seed next
spring. Corbin then sends in his
crew Of workmen in the spring, and
establishes camp near the tracts,
and, with experienced hands, takes
the work of seeding, caring for and
harvesting the crop off the hands of
the farmer, the latter furnishing
only horse power, all tools, etc,
being furnished by Corbin. After
the crop is harvested, should it fail
to pay expenses, the loss falls on
Corbin, but the surplus after the
expenses are paid, less six per cent
for money advanced, goes to the
farmer. Under this system there is
no chance for loss to the farmer, for
II there IS no return from the crop,
his land has received treatment bet
ter than any summer following, it
having been plowed subsoiled, and
cultivated, and every weed and wild
oat carefully pulled out by hand,
and it is turned back to him in
shape to give a greatly increased
yield of grain for years to come be-
cause of this treatment. The agent
who is here selects such tracts as
are suited for beet culture, stating
that while all land is not beet land,
some of the farms in this neighbor-
hood are excellently situated for the
growth of sugar beets. In fact, he
IS enthusiastic over the Pullman
country, and prophecies a great beet
sugar future for us.

All Signs Fail in Dry Weather.
For the past year whenever the
class of 1900 planned a days out
ing it was an almost sure sign of
rain. Whether the graduation of
the class broke the spell or not, we
do not know, but Thursday the
members of the class who are now
in Pullman made a trip t5 Steptoe
Butte without getting wet.
On Thursday morning the 7:4o
train conveyed the Misses Hays,
Grimes and Allen and Messrs.
Brown and Duncan to Colfax, where
they were met by Mr.. Leo L. Tot
ten with a team and carriage, and
driven to the half way house on the
east side of Steptoe Butte. Here
we found Mr.. Totten's cousins, the
Misses Cline and Johnson and Mr..
Warren, waiting with well filled
dinner baskets, which were loaded
into one of the carriages and taken
up the steep and winds road to
the summit of the mountain while
the ladies of the party, encouraged
by the gentlemen, leisurely followed
on foot.
Arriving at the residence of Mr..
Davis, built on the very top of the
butte, and not finding the gentle
man at home we inspected the
buildings and grounds as far as we
were able, and then, the time being
somewhat past noon, spread our
lunch and proceeded to make merry
as becometh hungry people when
such bountiful preparations have
been made for the breaking of their
fast.
After good share of the lunch
had been disposed of, an advan-
tageous point was selected and a
general survey of the country made.
Owing to the absence of Mr.. Davis,
the telescope could not be used,
therefore the sight-seers were some
what disappointed in the limited
view obtained which was also OBJ
scured by the haziness of the atmos-
phere, however, a beautiful pan

mountainous country. In all, the
scene, even with the naked. eye, is
a grand one, and one too that could
not but inspire just pride in the
breast of every Palouser in the land
of his adoption.

descended the mountain, and after

reached Colfax just in time to catch
