Those talismaDic words awaken a
thrill Of anticipation in students and
teachers alike. and cause them 10 be-
gin 10 count the few remaining days
OF the rapidly diminishing summer
vacation.
Only twelve more days and Johnnie
and Susie will be brushed and washed
and freshly dressed each morning and
started on their way TO school with
their little heads ready to absorb their
heritage Of knowledge. The high
school students. with just pride in
their advancement, will mlngle their
usual talk of "sophs" and "frcshies,"
with their wise conversations on their
more difficult studies, and within q
week the real. earnest work OF the
school year will be begun, and the
happy vacation time almost forgotten,
and oyershadowed by the busy. equal
ly happy school days.
With the transference of the sew
enth grades OF the city schools to
the high school in accordance with
the junior senior high school plan, a
radical departure will be made In the
general outline OF school work, and
in addition TO their regular seventh
grade studies the pupils will be given
a choice Of one high school or
industrial subject. This plan has
been tried with success in the
schools Of other cities. and il seems
to be the general opinion that II will
be a great Improvement in the Man
kato schools. The bringing of the
seventh grades 10 the high school will
cause a material change to be made
in the assignments of teachers, and

teachers and faculty of the junior
senior high school. and their classes is
