School Opening.

The public schools are to open
for pupils next Monday. The
system us locally provided for
will include all grades of the
common schools and three years
of high school. In addition to
the regular courses Of study spec
ial courses will be given,in music
aud art which will be under the
direction Of special teachers.
As the teachers gather this
week we note the appearance OF
a number of new faces. The
Banner extends to them it's best
wishes for u pleasant and pros
porous school year. and hopes
that the city may prove attract
i've and hospitable to them.
TO the old teachers we extend
greeting. Their appearance in
the school room will not seem
strange for we are accustomed to
associate them with our educa-
tional work.
Mr.. Fred Worlton, our new
supervisor, has been working
hard to have all in readyness for
successful opening, and as Il
result has matters well in hand.
Although new in the position he
occupies, Fred is not new in the
business. He is also we'll and
favoRbly known in Lehi which
will add to the effectiveness OF
his labors. We see no reason
why the present school year
should not be a very successful
one.
