Another Year of Hard Work for
Teachers and Pupils Will Open
September Sixth.
WILL BE A BANNER SCHOOL YEAR
Everything Points to a PrOpitiOus
Beginning and a Term of
Excellent Results.

| Ere another issue of this paper the
school bells will be calling the boys
and girls to duty, a new school year
shall have been entered upon and the
prospects We're never more promising
for favorable beginning and result
full year. 1t is highly important that
parents see to it that their children
are there Oh the first day. Nothing
so discourages a child ;S to be behind
in his or her class. The spirit of class
competition is lost. and if the child
does not receive individual assistance
the discouragement which follows his
failure to catch up will prevent him
from putting forth the effort that
should be given to the different
studies
Lewistown should be. and is, the
educational Mecca" of Fergus county
when parents who live in the outly-
ing districts desire to give their chill
dren better school advantages. The
grade schools of Lewistown offer eX-
ceptional advantages, and the people
OF the county are more and more each
year ayailing themselves of these adj
vantages.
With the present corps of teachers
and the improved school facilities
there is not place in the state where
a boy or girl can receive better train
ing than right here. The city school
board has taken special pains to Sc
lect from the best teachers in both
the east and the west. Prof. Beyis
has had years of experience i'm public
school work, and we bespeak for him
the best results. He has some most
!, competent assistants in the following
