SCHOOL ITEMS
SEPT. 9th HAS BEEN SET AS THE
DATE FOR THE. OPENING or
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

room and board, while ATTENDING
school,, should get them as early as
possible. We should be glad to have
residents who desire such pupils, let
US know their wishes as we may be
able to help either party.
Boys and GIRLS who are willing to
work for their board and room in or.
der to get an education, are very sci.
dom found among the failures.
All pupils who attend our schools
from associated rural districts, will
do SO without expense to themselves
Or the districts from which they come.
Those attending the grades from
non-associated districts. are charged
tuition, payable in advance by their
parents, however, if pupils attending
from such districts take sewing, cook
! ing, manual training or agriculture, the
expense for such attendance is borne
by the district from which they come
and not by the pupils or their parents.
The law has thus made it possible for
all country boys and girls to acquire
a splendid practical education with
out expense to themselves
During the past year, pupils from
IA different non-associated districts
attended our schools and took more
or less of the industrial work offered
therein
| We believe it would be the part of
wisdom for all school districts, with.
in radius of six or eight miles OF
Warren, to associate with the Warren
district and by so doing get the bene-
fits thus offered under the Putnam
law, with but very small additional
expense to the districts.
Pupils desining their state certifi-
Gates before the opening of school
may get them by calling at the home
of Supt. Mitchell. We hope all such
will call Saturday afternoon if posi-
! BILE.
| A concrete coal cellar is being
built, adjoining the east basement OF
the high school building. This is a
much needed improvement as it will
largely eliminate coal SCOT from the
building. 1t is hoped in time to fit
the present coal room in the basement
for iron work which is so much need
ed to fully equip our manual training
department
Both sewing and cooking will be
taught in the same room this year,
the cooking classes occupying it in
the morning and the sewing classes
in the afternoon. The present sew
ing room will be used as an agricul-
tural exhibit and class room. This ar.
rangement fully meets the require.
ments of the high school board and
gives us ample room to property con-
duct the work. The agricultural la
boratory will remain in the basement
as at present.
The school gardtns in town have
now been Judged for the last time,
and we would urge the pupils who
have them to sell or use the products
as soon as they are in condition to
USE
AS soon as Prof. Freed has finished
inspecting the country gardens, the
names of the prize winners will be
announced.
Most of the gardens this year were
taken care of by girls from 10 to Il
years of age. Considering the age
and inexperience of the gardeners,
splendid work has been done both in
| town and country. We are sure
many lessons have been learned that
year.
Ralph Powell has already gone to
attend Hamline University; Josephine
Dixon will soon register at McAlister
and Ebba Lundgren at Gustavuse Adol-
plus. Minnie Thomas, Fac sWads-
worth and Agnes Hilleboe will teach
Ruth fTDagODerg has, been 1naKlngaha
| tour of Europe and will not return to
America for some time yet. We be-
speak for them all a very successful
year. HII
The entire 9Th grade will attend
school in the Washington building
this year. The Normal Department
will occupy the two north upstairs
rooms of the u Washington building,
the same as last year.
Pupils who have not at least four
high school credits or their equiva-
lent cannot be admitted to the Nor:
NAL Department. It will do no good
for others to ask for admittance for
the state rules are very strict in this
respect. The number in this de-
partment is strictly limited to TWEEN
