ed. However, a most profitable year

No pupils will be admitted to the
primary schools who will not be six
years or age before October LIST. This
is imperative because the state law
provides that pupils cannot attend
school who are not six years of age.

the schools will not permit the least
liberality in the Interpretation of the
law. Primary pupils will attend the
building nearest their homes and will
assemble in rooms No l at both

one at the Bickel school and Miss Kell
room one at the Lincoln. If it is nee

emerson says: "The true test of
civilization is not the census, nor the |
;ize of cities nor the crops. No, but
he kind of man the country turns t
,ut. Next to the home, the school
determines the man the country
urns out The continued and much {
cooperation of all the {
people with all the teachers for the
good of all the pupils in all the t
schools all the time is earnestly re- 7
Iuested that there may continue to be |
more pride in the man the school is c
urning out than in the splendid pro-
Iucts of the ranches and farms of this '
most favored section of the northwest
