the city has been prepared by Super
intendent G. s. Brother Careful
reading on the part of parents and pu-
pills will do much toward enabling the
schools to start routine work off
promptly:
To the Boys and Girls:
1t is again time for school to open
and I am wondering If you are ready
and anxious for the opening day to
come. You have had three months
play and growth. I hope that you
have had a good time and that as
result Of the vacation, you are strong
and well and ready for school. We
want to make this the banner year in
the Billings schools. To do this we
boy and girl. The one who lags be-
hind Injuries himself and hinders the
progress of his class. / hope that
everyone will make it his business to
be present the first day and every day
thereafter during the year.
+ . = . . Y. u
The schools will open Monday
morning, September 9, at 9 o'clock.
You have two days to get your books
and arrange things SO that you can
enter the first day fully prepared. See
to it that you have everything that is
needed, and that you are in your seat
in the school room when the gong
sounds at 9 o'clock on the opening
morning.
All children who are of the age of
AZ years may enter the Kindergarten
department. But they must enter
within the first two weeks of school
or they will not be allowed to enter
this year. Should the board allow
them to enter at a later date, they
could not do the work satisfactorily,
and would hinder the progress of the
class
Every child entering the Billings
schools for the first time must pre-
sent a certificate of successful vacci-
nation from a practicing physician of
Montana. Those who have been in
the schools before will have this re-
cord on their promotion or dismissal
card.
