past several years and only such
courses will be added as wisdom
and experience show will be for the
advancement of the school We ear
nestly ask the cooperation and sup
port of every citizen of Snyder and
especially of every parent in the
great task before us. ''''-'''
We trust that every boy and girl
in the community will enter the first
day. Such is very important both to
the school and the individual pu
pill. An old saying, We'll begun is
half done" is as true when applied
to school work as anywhere else.
Let us have our boys and girls the
first day and then every day for
! the entire session. Then If they do
not make progress you are no. 10
blame.
TO the people Of Scurry county
