PREPARING FOR THE
FALL TERM OF SCHOOL
IN DISTRICT NO. g

LIN DlS MI M. y.
The Yerington Public School opens
Monday, August 81 On account of
there having been no appropriation
made for the purchasing of free text
| books, there are no funds available for
| the purpose in this district, and in or
| der not to burden the district with Il
| larger debt than necessary, the Board
requests that parents send with pupils
such text books as you have on hand,
| either for the use of your child or
others. Books will be furnished free
of charge, but the old books thus loan
ed or given the school will be help.
The kindergarten is a new feature
| of our schools. Children of four and
five years old will be admitted, al
though the number will be limited, and
those whose birthdays are closest to
five and six respectively will be given
| preference The first twenty-five chill
dren enrolled will be taken, the rest
placed upon a waiting list, and admit
ted as others drop out.
The Board has been fortunate in Sc
curing the services of Miss Vera
Reichelt, as instructor Miss Reichelt
is a graduate of Columbia Conser-
vatory of Music, of Chicago, and the
kindergarten Department of the Col
orado Teachers College. She plays
the piano and mandolin The kinder
garten hours will be 9 to II a. m, and
is free.
The First and Second grades are in
charge of Miss Emma He'd of Pueblo,
Colorado Children six years old or
those whose birthdays occur before
Christmas will be admitted to the first
grade. All younger children must go
to the kindergarten if they attend the
public school.
First Grade hours: to II 80 and

and l to g.
Miss Mollie Vaughn, a graduate of
San Jose Normal, with several years
experience, will teach third and fourth
grades.
Hours of all grades above Second
shall be: 9 to II and to 800
Miss Bessie Sperry, who will have
charge of Fifth and Sixth grades,
needs no introduction to Yerington
school patrons. She will probably
have charge of the music in the upper
grades.
Mrs. Mary Bray will be principal
and teach Seventh and Eighth grades.
Mrs. Bray is graduate of Stanford
University and San Jose Normal, with
several years experience in teaching.
The Board asks the cooperation OF
the parents, and especially requests
that you will visit the schools and get
acquainted with the teachers during
the first month of school, thus only
can the best interests of the teacher
and pupil both be served.
The playground will be open from
$3.50 to 9; recess time; and $3.50 to 5.
rangements for supervision on Sat
urdays will be made later. The teach
ers will take turns supervising this
work until $50 each day, when Miss
Reichelt will be in charge. Neither
the Board nor teachers will be respon-
sible for accidents to children on the
playground at other hours.
Pupils will be held responsible for
misusage of text books, and fined &C
cordingly. Therefore, parents are re
quested to examine books when first
given to pupils, and confer with the
teacher if pages are soiled or torn
A pencil a month will be allowed each
pupil. This should be sufficient. and
teachers will not be held responsible
for pencils or other articles lost at
school.
An effort will be made this year to
put our schools on business basis,
Card catalogues will be made con
tanning the history of the pupils since
| their entrance in school, so that pa
rents and teachers in the future may
work together understandingly. Talk
over all school matters with the teach
ers and principal before offering crit
