As has been published In the pro-
ceedings of the parish board ofschool
directors at the July meeting, that
September 18th. 1910, was fixed as
the time for opening all of the schools
of the parish. we hope thatyou have
made all the necessary Arrangements
to have your children enter school
Sept. 18th. and to have the m remain
In school during the entire school
season of eight and nine months.
As far as We know the best teach
ers that could be employed with the
funds at our command have been
secured to teach the schools during
the season that IL now opening, and
we especially request that you CO.
operate with your teachers and the
parish school officials in making The
present season the best school year
in the history Of Grant parish. and
by cooperation we mean to send all
of your children to school Of the
proper school age. and even those
that are over proper school age. for
the reason that for the first time In
the history Of your parish are we
having the benefit of the long term
public schools. at the same time all
would be required to he obedient as
any thing to thecOntrary would not
be tolerated.
BY cooperation we also mean for
you to keep your children IN school,
as irregular attendance does your
child but little good, and initiates
against the entire school II circum-
stances should prevent you from EN-
tering your children who are In the
first grade during the first month of
school would advise You not to en-
ter them until the first month of the
second term, as In all probability
there would be no new classes form
ell after the firstrNponth OF the first
term and unless ur child had at
tended school SOM Sready 1t would
be a useless waste Of time for 1t to
enter and he Improperly graded and
chill its aspirations possibly for an
education. By cooperation we
mean for you to assist your teachers
in controlling the school and thereby
have your sons and daughters be-
come better men and women than
they would probably otherwise be.
II you dislike your teacher or II
you do not approve Of his way OF
doing things please do not talk to
any one else about 1t but go to the
teacher and have private talk
about the matter. or take the mat
ter up with him through local d.
rector or directors. in other words
let's labor for peace and harmony. Il
good school, and the education of
the boys and girls who are to be-
come the men and women OF to-
morrow.
| This will he the banner school year
for Grant II we make 1t such, aud If
1t is not you and will help to make
1t whatit is.
During the season we hope to see
each one OF you In person. and we
hope, too. that we may have your
Incorporation In the discharge OF our
official duties as we have had In the
past, and thanking you for the many
Icourtesies and favOrs shown me,
am, Very truly yours,

he spoke for more than half an hour. going
from one side Of the platform TO another.
and literally talking 10 all points OF the
compass. IN the hope that the sea of peO-
pie who surrounded him would at least get
chance to see his. face, even IL most OF
them were so far away that they could
not hear his voice.
From the moment he appeared at the rear
platform OF his train, wnIch arrived on

bouquet OF Roses.


While the auto was standing and Mr..
Roosevelt was expressing his astonishment
that such a great greenhouse could be
built UP In Council Bluffs, number of
Mr.. Wilcox's employees appeared bearing
a huge sheaf of American Beauty roses
which they presented to him. In addition
to this offering splendid bouquet Of Anieri-
can Beauties was presented by the Com
mercial club, and all along the route, roses
we're thrown at the carriage, some OF them
falling inside.
The return journey covered q large section
Of the central part of town, and good deal
of the course was directed by Mr.. Roosevelt
himself. All of the way he was talking
Of the air Of peaceful and happy content
that was apparent to him on all sides, and
said that he fully realized why 1t was
Iowa had such good citizens and so many
VI them.
When the automobile journey ended at the
speakers stand in Baylis park, Colonel
Roosevelt was wearing one OF the largest
Sf the roses that had been given him.
While ahe Roosevelt party was absent,
employees from the Wilcox hodses deco
rated the cars with American Beauties and
asparagus ferns.
The automobile carrying Colonel Roose-
welt pushed its way through the crowd
and stopped at the foot of the steps leading
to the platform which had been erected
on the north side OF Bayliss park, convert
ing the whole four acres OF tho park and
the adjoining streets into an audience area.
Nearly the whole space was filled and
mere than 5000 people Joined their
voices In q mighty shout when, the colonel
appeared on the platform. General G. M.
Dodge, who was expected to preside at
the Tpeeting was unable to be present
Attn the speech Colonel Roosevelt was
hustled into the auto and whirled to the
Northwestern depot. reaching II nearly
thdrty minutes behind the schedule time.
The crowd that had gathered TO see him
depart was much larger than the multi
tude that welcomed him. This was due
TO the fact that hundreds OF farmers
carriages and automobiles had arrived in
town after the program began. bringing an
extra thousand or more people. These APP
peared TO think that tho best chance to
eee the guest was when he mounted the
platform OF his coach and stood hatless
bowling 10 the shouting multitude. He re-
NAMED standing on tho platform waving his
hat until the train disappeared around q
curve.
1t is estimated that 5000 people came in
from the country and surrounding towns
ana that at least 5000 people got 3
