Preliminary Opening.
Dear Patrons:

Dear Patrons:
You perhaps saw the announce
ment in last weeks Commonwealth
that school would open October TIE
End. Now in order that we may
lose as little time as possible we
have decided to have what might be
called preliminary opening Mon
day and Tuesday of next week. We
are doing this in order that we may
get the number Of books that will
be needed for each pupil so that
when school does open there may
be no time lost on account Of not
having the books.
Now we want every pupil who in
tends to attend school this fall to
come to this preliminary opening.
If any parent thinks that it is not
necessary for his son or daughter
to come to this preliminary opening,
just let him remember that it will
be his child who will be the loser as
the other pupils will have their
books and the pupil who fails to
come now and arrange for his books
will get behind his classes.
All pupils Of the 1st, 1st advanced,
End, and 3rd grades will meet their
teachers at the Superintendent 5
home Monday morning at 900
O'Clock. Pupils of the 4th, 5th, 9th
and 7th grades will meet their teach
ers at the same place Tuesday morn
ing at 900 o'clock and pupils of the
the 9Th, 9th and 10th grades Tues
day morning at HOO O'Clock. Re
member the dates: Monday and
Tuesday, Sept. 18th and 18th.
Let all pupils be here promptly
and bring their books.
