SCHOOL NOTES

We wish to emphasize the fact that
that school begins Tuesday, not later.
Heretofore the teacher has been put
to considerable trouble because many
have entered one week, two weeks and
in some instances, a month late. Not
only does this seriously work upon
the effectiveness of our schools but
handicaps the pupil. The school year
of thirty-six weeks is entirely to short
a time in which to cover carefully the
prescribed work. Back work cannot
be made up as satisfactorily as it can
be done in class. Such pupils take up
their work under adverse conditions
and failures result in many instances.
REGULATIONS begin in the high school
department Tuesday morning. Teyt
books should be obtained Monday.
The office will be open from 500
a. m. until 200 p. IN. Monday for reg
istration of high school pupils.

AS has been announced in these col
umns, a short course will be offered to
those boys who cannot very we'll enter
school in September because of farm
work. This course will be eighteen
weeks in length and may be taken by
anyone to whom such a course would
be of advantage. The subjects offered
are as follows: Farm Accounts, Ag-
riculture, Manual Training with spec
attention to the requirements of the
farm, and a review of some element
ary subjects. The only expense in
volved will be for text books and sup
plies. The course will not be offered
unless a sufficient number register to
make it worth while. Any who are in
terested should communicate with the
superintendent.
Additional equipment for Manual
Training has been added and will be
installed in the south west room of
the basement.
The eighth grade will be seated in
the assembly room this year, and will
recite in the main to high school teach
ers. The sanction of the state depart
ment has been given to this change.
It is hoped that the transition from
the grades to the high school may be
made more easily by this change. The
grade will have the advantage of in
struction by college graduates who
are especially qualified in particular
branches of work.
No changes will be made in the high
school program for students who reg
gister late. If it will be necessary to
enter late studen should register Mon
day.
