School Enrolment.

Good old golden school days" are
coming, cheering bells will soon be
ringing. Richmond children will take
up their many school activities. Mon
day, September Sth.
The school buildings have been re-
modelled to meet every requirement
for the training of children. Rich
mond has nine grammar schools and
another building is now in process OF
erection. The high school is one OF
the most modern in architecture and
, the most up-to-date in equipment in
Indiana.
Parents desiring to have their child
rem instructed in German at an early
age may send them TO the Hibberd
school. where the German language
! will be taught beginning in the third
| grade. Children from all over the
| city will be admitted to this school
| for such instruction. At the Garfield
| school both German and Latin will
| be taught beginning with the seventh
grade so that a more advanced course
may be taken up in these languages
| on entering the high school.
! Students who were unable to report
/ to the high school this morning for
enrolment in classes, are asked TO re
port Tuesday morning in room 20 of
the high school building at $50.
| This announcement is meant for stu
dents who have not yet registered for
work in the high school, whether they
may be beginners or advanced stu
dents.
The building will be open of morn

tional Department urges clubs every
where to agitate this phase of the sub
iect and to help in securing such train
ing in all normal schools and colleges.
This Department also earnestly in
sists that local school conditions be
studied by clubs, especially in rela-
tion to vocational and industrial train
ing and guidance, and that every pos
sble effort be put forth to secure the
passage of the Page Bill by the Fed
eral Congress.
Next to the home, nothing appeals
so strongly to the women of the clubs
as the public school, which they insist
upon regarding as an adjunct to the
home in the training for citizenship
and life. If Josiah Strong, President
of the American Institute for Social
Service, is correct in his estimate of
the potency of the General Fedora
tion of Womens Clubs, the work of its
Educational Department must be of
far-reaohing and incalculable effect on
the future of the Republic. DIR.

influence, and so many of the highest

American people as the General Fed
