CHANGE IN DATE OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL
OPENING
SEPTEMBER II, THE DAY
INSTEAD OF THE 18TH AS ANNOUNCED

To the patrons OF the public schools:
AS the new Fifth ward school build
ing will not be completed as soon as
1t had been expected, it has been
deemed advisable to make a change
in the plans for the opening of the
schools. All schools in the district
excepting the new school. which is
to be started in the building now be.
ing erected for that purpose, above
the Evansville shaft, will open on
Monday, September IL. Until the
completion of the Fifth ward build
ing, pupils will report to the various
buildings as they did last year, ex-
cept that those who attended the
school conducted in the old church in
the Fifth ward will report to the South
Side building. A number of the
rooms will be badly crowded. and 1t
may be necessary in number of in
stances to arrange for half day ses-
sion, such as has been given In the
primary rooms for the past two years.
1t is to be hoped that all parents
will aim to have their children report
for enrolment the first day so that
the classification and organization of
the schools may be early completed.
Those children who have promotion
cards will report to the rooms to
which they have been advanced, and
their cards will admit them without
further question. Those who do not
have cards, and those who are enter
ing the schools for the first time will
report to. the Office of the principal,
where they will be classified and
properly assigned for work. Those
pupils who desire to secure advanced
promotion for the High School will
report to the High School rooms on
Monday, September IL, when they
will be given an examination. II
they are successful in this test they
will be enrolled for high school work.
Mr.. John Price has been employed
as truant officer for the coming year.
and every effort will be put forth to
enforce the compulsory school law as
well as the new law against child
labor.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1905-08-30

hope that citizens In general who
are interested in the welfare of the
community will cooperate with the
truant officer in enforcing compliance
with these laws.
Parents are advised to purchase no
books for their children until after
they have reported to school and en-.
rolled, and have been classified. Lists
of books needed will be furnished to
pupils at the close of the first days
session.
urge that all former high school
students report for enrolment on the
first day, and hope that not one OF
the members of last years complet.
ing classes will be missed at the high
school opening. It is of the highest
Importance that there be n full en-
rollment on the first day so that the
class schedules may be completed.
and books for class work be ordered
at once. Because of the bright pros
poets this should be the greatest
year in the history OF the High School,
The main school building and the
South Side building have been thor.
oughly cleaned and renovated, and
the other buildings will be prepared
for work in the next few days. The
outlook for a successful years work
in the schools was never better, and
hope that high school students and
grade pupils will return to their work
with enthusiasm and energy.
The general teachers meeting will
be held in the High School chapel on
Saturday morning, September 0, at
nine o'clock. Every teacher is ex-
pected to be present at this meeting,
as matters of vital importance to the
work of the year will be discussed
and outlined. AT thesclose of the gen
eral meeting the teachers in the diff
ferent buildings will hold separate
meetings. Public school work In
Fairmont was never more encourag-
ing than 1t is now, and hope that
the teachers will come to their work
with increased vigor and earnestness.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS PEACE TERMS

tanned If it was clear case of the
delivery of an ultimatum and its ac.
ceptance is a mystery incapable of
solution at this time. 1t is under
stood that the envoys deliberated in
the strictest privacy for over an hour.
Another suspicious feature is the
smoothness with-which the negotia-
tions were conducted on question
which has been the stumbling block
since the first meeting, namely. that
of indemnity. From the most accu-
rate reports IT appears that N. witte
laid down an ultimatum which was
accepted promptly by the Japanese.
This may have been due to the
fact that the Japanese had become
thoroughly convinced that further
parley on this disputed demand would

Governor McLane has been here

possibility of signing the treaty in

tation. There is at present great
desire upon the part of the distin-
guished representatives to avoid all
delay. 1t has been suggested, that a
draft treaty be signed here leaving

permanent convention. There is no
fact to warrant the belief that when
the ENJOYS depart from Portsmouth

essential detail

JAPAN And PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

she has really won greater victory
than amy Of her successes during the
war. The newspapers all comment
on this and are unable to find words
In which to voice their admiration
for Japanese craftsmanship.
The Manchester Guardian says:
This is greater victory than Muk-
den and argues for qualities Of mind
higher than can be displayed on any
battlefield.
The Yorkshire Post states "That
the Japanese won many honorable
Victories since they threw down the
gage TO Russia eighteen months ago.
but none that stands any higher to
their credit than the reverse to which
they submitted yesterday e.

as in war while practically all the

ference yesterday.
The part played By President
Roosevelt also comes In for the
plaudits of the press and people. TO
him is largely given the credit for
ending the war and his action Is re-
garded as putting the United States

PUBLISHERS PRESS Beat TO EUROPE

The announcement that peace had
been agreed to came all the more as
a surprise because the European
newspapers throughout the peace ne
gotiatlons have constantly asserted
that peace was impossible. While
the people, guided by the papers, had
come to hold the same opinion to a
great extent they nevertheless were
anxious that the negotiations should
come to successful conclusion and
were more than glad to receive the
joyful news which was first flashed
to Europe through the Publishers
