promptly to the teacher with all books

nations at the close Of last session
will not be promoted until these eX-
aminations are taken. All pupils who

mount Of study during the summer.
All pupils hoping to enter any OF
the first four grades will report eth
er to Miss Mae Robertson at the Gard
ed School or to Miss Clara Wham at
the Mill School: All others to the Su-
rerintcndent at the High School.
A strong corps of teachers has been
secured for another year and the
prospects are bright for another good
year for schools of the city.
The State High School Inspector
made thorough inspection Of the
High School last session and has sub
mitted to the State Superintendent OF
Eduiation very favorable report.
The High School now is a standard
school, having made last year the fol-
lowing units: English, 8; History, 8;
Latin, 8; Science 1; Mathematics 2 IL
This makes total of twelve and 1-2
units, e. rise during the last two years
of two units.

and Miss Clara Wham.

The first Teachers meeting will Dej
at the Graded school building Satur-
day, Sept. 18th, at P. NJ. all teachers
are required to be present. /
The heating plant at the High
School has been made almost anew
and it is believed that the heat prob
lem has been solved. A new front has
been built and all buildings are be-
ing put in neat, clean and sanitary
condition.
There is an urgent need for two
more drinking fountains at each
building and yet the board is not in
| position at this time to have them
placed. We wonder if there are not
enough mothers and fathers in this
district who will come forward with
enough money-forty dollars will be
enough to buy the four fountains and
enstall them-to buy these fountains
and give tehir children and other chill
Gren neat, clean healthy place to
drink and do away with the old drink
ing cup.
Another suggestion. The school
should have a Parent-Teacher I'm
provement Association for the pur-
pose of improving the buildings and
grounds, for creating a healthier
school sentiment in the community,
and for developing educational inter-
ests at large. Now who will come for
ward and lead in this move. The child
will get the direct benefits and the
city the indirect.
Healthy sports will be developed
along with mental activities and in
that way the school will continue to
prosper.
