School Notice.

The Public School in the Cloverport
Graded Common School District No. I,
will open on Monday, September II,
1910 The new addition to the school
building is nearing completion, and
with it there will be ample room for
the accommodation of all white chill
dren of school age in the district.
The Board of Trustees earnestly
urges all parents and guardians in the
district who have children between the
ages of six and twenty years, the i'm
portance of their cooperation with us
in having one of the best schools we
have ever had, by having as full at
tendance as is possible to have.
Encourage your children to go to
school; give US the attendance and your
support and we will see that you have
a school that any district would be
proud of.
Heretofore the practice of a number
of scholars being excused at 1870 in
the morning for the purpose of car
rying dinners, ETC., has been a source
of great annoyance to the whole school.
and besides it makes it almost impos-
sible for those so excused to keep up
with their grades, and to overcome
this the Board has decided on the fol-
lowing hours for opening and dismis-
sing:
Opening, $50 a. IN noon recess 1880
a. m. to 100 p. M; dismiss p. III.
These hours will give all ample time
who have to carry dinners; and the
different teachers have been instructed
to accept no excuses during the regular
school hours for this purpose, or any
other IN their judgment not justihable,
Especial attention is called to Sec.
452la. KY Statutes, which requires all
children between the ages of seven
and fourteen years, not being physi-
callyl disabled, to attend some school
in kle district during each term.
Heretofore this district has not had
sufficient room to enforce this law, but
this year having ample room, the
Board will be liable to fine if they do
not enforce; and each parent or guar
dian is also liable for each offense in
case they fail to send their children in
accordance with the law under the
above section.
The Board hopes to not have to en-
force in single case, but with this
warning, any parent or guardian hav>
ing child between the ages named
found negligent, will have to abide by
the law, which, it is the Boards inten-
tion to enforce to the letter.
