Parents Should Send Their Children to
School Regularly and Urge Them
to Advancement.
MUCH DEPENDS ON ACTS OF
PARENTS IN SCHOOL MATTERS
The City Redistricted to Conform to the
New Conditions Of Additional
Rooms for Pupils.

al4liVSS AAS i1SAuA0Jt p0 OaAC uCuOOlo Will
begin Tuesday, Sept. 4tn. Par
ents are urgently requested to
see to it, that all pupils are
present on that day and are re.
gular in attendance throughout
the entire school year. This is
a matter of great Importance, as
there is certain amount of work
which must be done in q pre-
scrlbed length of time. One
cannot expect to be promoted at
the end of the term unless he
has been regular in attendance
and diligent in study. Let us
all take hold of the educational
wheel and at the beginning of the
year, and make this the best
school year Bemidji has ever
had.
One new building has been
erected this summer, which we
hope will be ready for use at the
beginning of the term. The
pupils should report for enroll
ment whether the building is
ready or not.
We now have three buildings,
which makes it necessary to
make three subdivisions of the
district, which we will call for
the present, Districts Mol, 2and
3. No. l, the large central build
ing, No 2 Corner of Third street
and Miss. Av., No 8, the new
building on Fifteenth and Maur-
ice Az.
he1ines bounding Dist. No 2
will remain as last year. All
pupils living south of Fourth
street and belonging to either
the First or Second grades, also
pupils living west of MINI. Av.,
south of Fifth st. to Irwin, west
of Irwin and south of Sixth st.
and belonging to the Second
grade only will attend Dist. No.
2. Dist, No. 3 will contain that
poi tion of the main district lying
west of, Irwin and north of
Eleventh st. All pupils belong
ing to the First Second, Third or
Fourth grades will report at
building No. 8.
It may become necessary to
change the bounding lines of the
subdivisions later on.
The buildings have all been
cleaned and made ready for use.
Let every one come out on the
first day with renewed energy
and make this the banner school
year for Bemidji.
Respectfully yours,
