VACATION DAYS
ARE NOW HERE

School is Closed, the children Are
Happy and the Teachers have Do
Parted For Their Various Hcsnes.
School closed Friday afternoon
without any special ceremonies ex-
cept the presentation CT diplomas
to the children who passed their

ing their vacation and the teachers
who do not live here have departed

ted for Grand Forks. N. D.. and

here a. few days longer looking
after work in connection with the
new school buildings and is getting
things lined up for the next term,
and will then take trip to the
coast.
The school this year has been the
most successful in the history Of
the city, and when the new build
ing is completed next fall the edu-
cational advantages will be better
than ever for the rising generation.
During the past year the first two
high school grades were taught,
and next year the third year will
be added for the benefit of those
who graduated this year, and thus
it will not be necessary for parents
to go to the expense of sending their
children away on account of lack
of grades. ~
With the completion Of the new
building it is expected to have a
full high school course. There will
be ample room and facilities for
higher instruction. 1t is intended
to make the Whitefish schools Sc
cond to none in the state.
