registration and assignment of students.
The main object in this is to have all
done before the Openingeeondgtsaeo
enrolment and assignment to classes
done before the opening of school Mon
day morning. so that the regular class
work can be taken up at that time. The
enrolment this year Will break all past
records 1t will not be less than 1000.
The demand for seats is unprecedented,
so that it will be TO the advantage OF all
who intend to enter the High school this
year to be on hand for the enrolment
before the close of the present week.
Thirty-Six Weeks of School.
The board of education is cooperating
with Superintendent Christensen in his
determination to have thirty-siX weeks
of solid school work in the High school
this year. if possible. By getting all stu
dents assigned to classes before the open
ing of the regular term il is thought
that one week can be gained for work.
Then by having the closing exercises or
the High school the week following the
closing of the schools il is thought that
another week can be gained. And by
this means it is argued that the students
will be able to handle the course or
study to much better advantage
The reports from all sides were TO the
effect that all the grade schools would
open promptly on time with an unusual
~ large attendance right at the start.
Inc only exception Is the IliiidIl SCiloolf

of the railroad through this property
makes the abandonment of this school
necessary. and the pupils will be distrib-
uted to the best possible advantage
among the surrounding schools.
