THE PERI SCHOOLS.

efficient body of teachers and a.
good spirit of united endeavor pre-
vailing on all sides, the Pierz village
school made an suspicious opening on
Monday, Sept. 9th. The total atten.
dance on the opening day was 2OS,
IN unusually large enrolment for the
6rst dry. Many more will be en-
rolled later on, when fall work 1s not
10 pressing. It is expected that the
total attendance will be more than
$50.
The school ia graded in Eve depart
ments, which with the respective
teachers, are as follows:
Grammar and principal, Edward M.
Kane.
and Intermediate, Sister Catherine.
list intermediate, Sister Paula.
Second Primary, Sister Selma.
tst Intermediate, Sister Benigna.
The patrons of the school are to be
congratulated upon the excellent
sorps of teachers that has been Sc
oured. Mr.. Kane, who was formerly
principal at Nicollet. has had five
years of successful experience In pub
lie school work In this state and
comes very highly recommended.
His work has shown constant I'M
provement and he holds an excellent
6rst grade state certificate. he has
made very good impression thus far.
Sister Catherine, in charge Of the
sntermediate room, is thorough, ex-
perienced, emil asiastic and successful
teacher. The ga me is true of all the
sisters in charge. Especial mention
might be made of Sister Benigna,
who. in eleven years spent in prim.
ary work, has won the praise of pro-
minent educators and fully earned
the name of "the friend of the little
pnes.'
It is the aim of the board of edu
eation and the teachers to have q
graduating class, who shall have
completed the eighth grade studies re-
CURED by the state and pass the state
examination, and to raise the school
to the standard Of a state graded
school, participating in the special
state aid for such schools.
The chief need of the school at
present is larger attendance in the
advanced grades. that is, more of the
material from which eighth grade
graduates are to be made. Parents
are strongly urged to make some
effort and send their older daughters
and sons of school age, to school at
an early date. Don't think that
children who are is years of age are
too old to attend school. The board
of education feels that it has done
FITS duty. Now let the parents do the
same.
Both Mr.. Kane and Sister Gather
inc have in the past enjoyed signal
in k1
state examinations, and, given the
material. can repeat their success this
year. Only the attendance Of an in
sreased number of older pupils, and
the hearty cooperation of parents, is
needed to make the work Of the year
gust begun, an entire success.
