school building where n suitable
program ~ill be rendered by the
board of trustees and other
citizens of the town, Everybody
interested In educational affairs
of Lubbock Ia requested to be
present There will be- held at
the high school building August
the 26th and an examination for
the benefit Of those who failed
10 take the examination at the
close of school and also those
who took it and failed to pass.
We hope all pupils desiring to
take it will avail themselves of
this opportunity and thereby
save time and trouble. BE on
time. A pupil who is always on
time and prepares his lessons
has no fears of promotion at the
close of the school term. We
must make this the best year in
the history of the Lubbock pub.
lie schools. The best asset that
a city or town can have is a
good school. The best that
pupil can have is a good educa-
ton. The way to obtain this is
to be present every day and have
your lessons well prepared. Try
to be the best pupil in the school.
In play be leader, in class have
the best lessons, in department
100 per cent. A pupil who is
kind to parents, teachers, and
playmates. who has energy and
push, always truthful and hon
est and who has a kind dispo-
sition at all times will make a
mark in this world. Do not get
pouty if you are not classed as
high as you think you should
be, but be worker and you
will soon be promoted to the
place you belong. 1t is much
better to receive a promotion at
the close of the first month than
to receive note. Work harder
or you will be placed in a lower
class. The manly boy will
leave off the cigarette smoking
and tobacco chewing and let
those smaller boys who do not
know any better DO that. T.
bacco never makes a boy larger;
but smaller. Ii does not prepare
him for a good strong man nor
does it make him "a good athlete.
II is to be hoped that all of the
school boys viii stop the use OF
tobacco and place themselves IN
condition to be able 10 receive
instruction IN play as well as
books. A weak body will tire
under the heavy strain Of books
and play. When the people in
general understand, they will
leave off many OF the habits they
now have and do more for edu-
cation and in time become a
stranger race. The question
should be constantly before our
minds. How can | best inn
prove myself and make others
happier and better. Ii parents
desire that their children get
the full benefit of the schOo. 10
is necessary that they keep them
IN school regularly keep them
at home at nights and see that
they prepare the lessons assign
ed them and also that they get
plenty Of sleep, for rest and
sleep they must have if they do
well with their studies.
We would like 10 see the pub
lie generally take more interest
educaronally, and use It's in
huence IN encouraging they0uug
people OF the town and COM
munity 10 remain m school, obey
the regulations of the school and
apply themselves more along an
educational line and remember
that the teachers can do but lit
tie in molding the character, and
preparing your children TO meet
the requirements of life without
your cooperation. Get a cata-
logue of the school and read
carefully the regulations for the
government of same and help
US to enforce them. you can do
a great deal along this line and
we are depending on you to help
US. So don't disappoint US. Let
US all stand together for better
schools in Lubbock and in the
upbuilding of the town in all
