Blue Makes Plans For
Increased Enrolment.
Thit-seyen Instructors Employed For Entire School System
One Rural Wagon Added to Equipment.

The school year of l915-16 will open
Monday morning, September 6. The
first week will be given over to the
annual Teachers Joint Institute which
will be held in the high school build
ing and which the teachers are re-
quired to attend The school work
will actually begin Monday morning,
September 13, when all classes in the
elementary grades and the high school
will be definitely organized. The first
day-Monday, September 13-will be
given over largely to enrolling, classi-
flying and organizing.
Pupils will be given lists of books
and materials needed for their school
work. The parents are advised to
have pupils bring home the list Of
books and materials needed for their
approval. 1t is we'll not to give pu
pills money in excess of the amount
needed to purchase the books and ma
terials designated on these lists
Whenever it is felt necessary for a
child to supply himself with text
books or school materials, list des-
| ignating the text books or supplies
needed and the cost thereof will al
ways be sent to the parent for appro-
val
A change has been made in the
school day. All pupils in both the ele-
mentary grades and the high school
will be expected to be in their seats al
800 o'clock each morning. Pupils
who fail. to do this, will be counted
tardy and will need to bring excuses
from the parents. The bells and gongs
will ring at five minutes of nine eacf
morning, thus giving the pupils tlvt
minutes warning to report in thell
seats at nine o'clock. All first grade
rooms will close the morning session
at 11:30 o'clock and the afternoon
session at 800 o'clock All seconf
grade rooms will close the morning
session at HAS o'clock and the after
noon session at 800 o'clock. All thirt
grade rooms will close the morning
session at HAS o'clock and the af
ternoon session at 3:15 o'clock. AL
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eight
grade rooms will close the mornin,
session at 11:55 o'clock and the af
ternoon session at $3.50 o'clock. AL
the afternoon sessions for both tn
elementary grades and the high schoo
will begin at 10 o'clock. This make
longer noon hour and will prov
Ito be advantageous to those children
who find it necessary to go severa
blocks for their lunches. Parent
living in the city are advised to hav
their children go home for lunch. Th
walk will prove to be a physical ben
( eft and it will tend to decrease tn
problem of supervision due to tn
large number of country children re
manning in the buildings during til
: noon hour In the high school ther
, will be two closing hours, for the a.
J ternoon session; one at 3:15 o'clock
| for boys and girls who are transporte
l to their homes by the school wagon
| or the electric railway and one at 81
/ for boys and girls who live in Twi
3 Falls and who are not transported
their homes.
, There will be an addition of fi>
> teachers to the high school facult
S The high school is growing so rapit
: ly and the demands on the teacher
so heavy, that it was found necessa1
to increase the size of the facul1
! from Is teachers to 20 teachers.
u is felt that the increase in the facul1
and the lengthening of the afternoe
session will solve the problem of col
l. gestion due to rapidly increasiI
enrolment No new departments a
added to those offering courses la
q year. One teacher has been added
the list of grade teachers, making
l. total of 81 teachers in the elemental
d grades. 1t is thought the extra teac
e er will do much in lessening t
u crowded conditions found in some
u the intermediate grades last year
l. The Board of Education and t
ls superintendent of schools regret We
70 much the need of giving over to hi
N school work, three of the rooms tn
ye have been used by grade childre
" Because OF the growth of the hi
school it Is found necessary to lin
: the number of grade children usi
the high school building, SO that t
high school work may be proper
cared for. Because of It's central
cation, the high school building Is
most excellent place for grade ch
dren. Two large rooms will be CIV
over to the use Of grade children
the high school building for the nj
year. One of these rooms will be
first grade children, that ia beginne
and the other room will be used
second grade children. These I
rooms will DO long way In caring
the small children living near
thigh school building and consid
able distance from either the Line
Tor Bickel building.
