HIGH SCHOOL IMPROVED
This Week Is a Busy One With Super intendent and Teaehers-cards Have Been Mailed to All
 Children Promoted.

The Woodlawn board of education an- nounces the opening of the Woodlawn public schools on September IA at S:45 a. m., with everything in better condition than ever before. The announcements have been placed in every house in the town and a copy mailed to every child who attended the school last session
 During the last year Woodlawn's school population increased to such an extent that there is now need of almost double the accommodation of the last session, but the city has made ample provisions. A handsome brick building fully equal to the present one is now receiving the at tention of the city council and it will be ready for use sometime during the open ing session; it is hoped not later than January l. However. apartments have been rented to accommodate the increase till the new building is ready and there will be desks and teachers for every child who presents himself or herself for mem bership on the opening day. The board of education has been wide awake during the summer to the great demands of the town. Four additional teachers have been added and should more be needed the board stands ready to supply them.
 High School.
 The high school department has been strengthened by the addition of another teacher and that department will receive special attention during the session. There will be two divisions each of the first four grades of the grammar school thus assuring more individual attention to the children. All the children of the first four grades living in the First, Sec ond and Third wards will attend in the new building upon it's completion. Until the new building is completed this divi- sion will be located in the rented building, 5322 First avenue
 The old building has been replastered and papered and is now even more at tractive than when first built
 Busy Week.
 The entire week, except Saturday, be- ginning September will be devoted to the careful grading of the children. The superintendent will be in his office in the old building every morning at S:30 of this week to consider and classify all new pupils and those who withdrew before the close of last session. Enrolment cards have been mailed to all pupils promoted last session and those will not be re- quired to appear before the morning of the opening on September 14 These en- rollment cards must be presented to the teachers of the respective grades on open ing day.
 The first teachers meeting will be held in the superintendent's office next Satur- day morning at o'clock, at which meet ing the work of the year will be outlined and special instructions given for open ing day. This will be very important meeting and every teacher will be pres ent.
