The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-10-02
Our Schools

The Chanute schools opened up
Monday morning, with bright pros
poets and full attendance.
All the teachers we're present and in
their respective places Some of the
rooms not being entirely ready the
pupils were sent home, after little
preliminary work, till Tuesday morn
ing, when the real work began. The
high school will not open Till next
week on account of the non complet-
ion of the addition being made to the
high school room. There are thirty
odd teachers employed this year and
there will be abundance OF work Tor
all.
Two outside rooms were secured 10
the Fourth ward to accommodate the
great increase of pupils in that ward
The colored people of the town, not
understanding the theory or the
move by which their children were
separated from the whites, were III
clined to hestated about starving
their children, but, after getting
thorough understanding of the mat
ter and learning that they will have
equal chances and facilities THAI are
accorded the whites, generally ac'
cepted the situation.
There is no reason in the world
why this shall not be the moSt pros
nerous wear the Chanute schools have
ever enjoyed. The success OF the
teacher depends. to great negree'
upon the support he receives from
the patrons,
We have. without doubt. very
strong corps of teachers A dozen or
more of them are State Normal stu
dents and many Of them graduates OF
that best of normal schools
We sincerely believe that II the
patrons do their duty this year, the
teachers will and our children Will
make the expected progress. Below
we give the assignment of teachers
