FACULTY-STATEMENT BY
SUPERINTENDENT

The Sank Centre public schools will
open next Monday, Sept. 7th.
The personnel of the teaching force
has been changed somewhat from last
year from various causes. The new
teachers come highly recommended.
A commercial department has been
added for the coming year and splen-
did results are expected from this
branch of the work. Robert Virgever
a specialist in this branch of education
has been secured to take charge of
this department.
The following statement of the out
look for the coming year sas been pre-
pared by Supt. Aygarn:
Everything is in readiness for the
opening of a successful school year.
The board of education has made
many needed improvements and the
janitor has everything nice and clean
for the opening day.
"The teachers will all be here this
week. A special teachers meeting will
be held Saturday at p. M:
From many inquiries made it is
predicted that the attendance the COM
ing year will be the largest in the his
tory of the Sank Centre schools.
1.-TWO years ago our school was rec
ognized by the North Central Edu.
cation Association and placed on the
accredited list, giving students who
graduate from the Sank Centre school
an opportunity to enter any of the
colleges without examination.
"To a very large extent results OF
school work can be measured by the
percent of attendance. A good at
tendance is the key to success.
at is earnestly hoped that al chill
dren will be present the first day OF
school; a record without hardness
means success in its highest form.
''The teachers are all anxious to
make good and perfect attendance
will give them a splendid chance. No
better cooperation can be wished for
than the cooperation OF seeing that
the children are in school every day.
at is impossible to do much FOL
your children at the end of the school
year. If we would take the same In
terest in the beginning of the school
year as we do at the end there would
not be SO many failures.
every student in the High School
should have a time schedule for home
study and it is necessary that parents
provide a good place where it is pos
sible to study without being disturbed
"Outside duties or pleasure should
never be allowed to interfere with
school work because it is bound to re-
suit in failure.
every student entering school
should have an earnest and ambitious
purpose to succeed.
The courses this year are arranged
as follows: the preparatory for col
lege, the industrial or Agricultural
course and the commercial course.
"a short course has been planned in
Industrial and Commercial Work but
only those finishing the above stand
ard courses will receive the recon-
mendations of the school for entering
higher institutions.
"The pupils entering the High
School this year must bring written
request signed by the parents stating
what course they wish their children
to take.
"After Sept. Z the pupils must have
the permission of the school and par
ents to be absent from their daily les
sons.
"Your hearty cooperation will give
you good school, you owe it to your
children and we are sure the teachers
will appreciate it."
