Langsson School Report for First
Month.

Our enrolment for the first
month was SO. This seems rather
low; but when it is remembered
that our enumeration is small, our
enrolment compares very favorably
with the average in the state.
However, We do not mean to say
that there is no room for improve
ment along this line. There is
always room for improvement"
And right here we must express
our surprise at seeing a number of
pupils of school age on the street
corners. Simply because the State
sets an age limit for compulsory
attendance, is this any reason why
boys and girls beyond the "age
limit" should stop attending soho
The State permits you to attend
its schools until you are 81 years
of age. Why not dress up" the
mind as well as the body? IF
you are citizen, why not be will
ing to go through the process of
preparation for citizenship Ev-
cry privilege carries with it re
sponsibility, the right, an obliga-
ton. We can't know the meaning
of these unless we educate. Until
you boys and girls who are to be
the men and women of tomorrow
learn these all important truths,
you are poorly equipped for the
stern duties of life.
In order to better systematic
our work and promote general pro-
gress. a few changes have been
made: ~ Teachers have chang
ed room g Miss Hattie Jordan has
charge of the Primary grade. while
the intermediate work is in charge
of Miss Bessie Jordan. Both of
these teachers are doing excellent

rem with the necessary books and
then have your child prepare his
lesson at home 1t is not possible
for any teacher to ''learn" a child.
He must learn" himself. (2)
Our course of study has been
changed somewhat. The four
years work of the high school has
been reduced to three, the last two
years having been combined
The eight years of grade" work
has been reduced to six years 30 as
to meet the needs IF our school.
To do coed work aud bring our
school up to it's proper standard,
We must have the cooperation of
the parent Parents. keep your
children in school.
Ii the child must be absent, sign
the ''blank" which is sent you and
return it to us This serves not
only to promote attendance but
honestly also on the part of the
pupil
The names of the pupils, who
have perfect" attendance, and who
receive no grade less than rs per
cent, will be placed on the "honor"
roll for the month.
Below are given the names of
pupils neither absent nor tsrdy:
