oAKEs STATE HIGH SCHOOL


to that time with varied thoughts and
feelings. 1t is an important date in
the lives of all pupils. Every one who
contemplates attending should be on
time the first day and miss none after
starting. The school is the children's
work shop and it is there they will lay
the foundation for their future success
or failure. 1t is for the children that
the schools are run and it is the chill
dren who must be there punctualy and
regularly to make sue cess of the
school. The school cannot be run with
out children.
1t is to be hoped that all parents
will think of this and see that their
children are there on time and all the
time. The teachers will be on hand to
do the work and to try to do it we'll.
The children are the tools for the
teachers to work with and they must
have the tools every day to do the best
possible work. Notice that it is i'm
possible for workman to do his work
for his employer if his employer does
not furnish him with the proper tools
in the proper condition and all the time.
Good work may be done while working
but if the tools are taken away from
him part of the time there must of ne
cessity be some short work both in
quantity and quality as it affects the
individual. Think Of this as it applies
to you as parent and resolve that you
will keep your children in school all of
the time.
The school board has had the school
house repaired and put in good shape
i and everything now looks inviting and
pleasant. Some of the members have
spent much time in looking after the
work and have done we'll the work that
the people have intrusted to them to do
for the district. They deserve your
commentator and they certainly have
it. Everyone knows that it is only by
working together and in harmony that
the best results can be obtained. It is
most sure that the people are working
together to make the school success
in the highest meaning of the word.
The teachers are planning their work
and resolving that every effort on their
part shall be made to make the Cakes
schools second to none.
The pupils last year were splendid
lot of young people and their deport-
ment in school was such as to please
and inspire confidence that they were
there for good work. In fact the gen.
eral department of the pupils can
hardly be excelled at any time and if
the future may be judged by the past,
Oakes pupils will not furnish any op-
portunity for criticism of good behavior
and none for good work.
Let every person interested take a
high aim for the school year. Though
you fall below the aim, the results will
be much better than if there is low
aim or no aim. The more good one de-
sires and strives for the more good one
will get, and with the getting there
will be such a growth that one is sur
prised with the enlarged capacity for
improvement.
1t is the sincere wish of the writer
that the very best possible good accom-
plishments may be the rewards of the
pupils in school and in life, and that
each one will learn early to see and
feel their part in the work of strength
ening their powers and enlarging their
opportunities. May every pupil enter
school this term with the feeling and
knowledge that all growth and i'm
provement in themselves must be the
work of themselves. May they know
and feel, too, that the teachers are
their friends and that they will do all
in their power to smooth and make the
pathway of learning as easy as possible
but the pupil must do the learning.
Again, let it be repeated that the
united efforts of all are necessary to
bring out the most and best results.
Everyone IS deeply interested in the
work of the school and in the results
that come from the school. Let the
habits of punctuality, regularity and
hard work be formed early and the sue
cess of the future is assured.
