WAUSEON SCHOOLS
Schools To Open Monday September
7th-New Departments of Domes-
tic Science and Manual Training
List of Teachers.

For many of US it is hard to rea-
lize that in little more than a week
we shall hear the school bell ring and
seeN several hundred boys and girls
answer it's call. However it should
be to all, and especially to the youth,
a welcome call that the school bell
sounds. 1t has long since been prov
en- that no boy or girl that has not
yet completed the work offered in our
schools can afford to quit until he or
she has received a high school, di-
ploma. Let US hope that no one that
should be there will be missing a
week from next Monday morning. Do
not wait until the beginning of the
second month or the second week,
nor yet the second day.
Quite a number Of the teachers
have spent several weeks in summer
school in order better to prepare
themselves for their work. This
shows that they appreciate the in
crease in salary that was granted to
all the teachers last Spring and that
they want to make themselves worth
all the money they receive. But
much more, than that, they are great
ly interested in their work and want
to be even more successful than they
have been. In the grades there are
no inexperienced teachers and the
school authorities feel certain that
the boys and girls there will be well
provided for. In the high school
there are several new teachers but
since they are all well prepared for
the work they are undertaking there
need be no fear as to the outcome.
Miss Costello, former teacher, will
have charge of the mathematics.
Miss Bicknell will be the Latin teach
er. Mr.. Sechrist will be in charge of
the science work and the boys ath-
letics. The boys will be glad to know
that he can do things on the athletic
field; he made letter in base ball
and four letters in basket ball while
in college. Nor will the girls ath-
letics be neglected; one of. the teach
ers will be in charge of that work. An
orchestra will be organized and all
those that can play some kind of
musical instrument will be invited to
help make good music.
The maunal training and domestic
science equipment has all been
ordered and will be installed
before school opens. A par
tition has been put through the
gymnasium and two very good rooms
made for the new equipment. It is
hoped that a suitable place will be
found for basket ball and other GYM
nastics so that this necessary part
of an education need not be neglect
ed. The parents should visit the
schools and see the work that is done
there. The manual training and do
mestic science departments will be
especially interesting. Mr.. Smell and
Miss Clifton. who Will have charge of
these departments, are both well
trained for their work.
