TO the Patrons and Students of EARLE

much to offer for the welfare of

ing will be spared to make for YOUR
convenience and comfort
The enrolment has started and
with the opening of school indications
are that all previous records will be
broken. Thus far goodly number
have enrolled. We are very anxious
to increase our enrolment to 80 per
cent of all other records for the open
ing day.

organized Free High School in the
county is located here at Eagle River.
The building consists of large three

laboratories are we'll equipped We

school and one for the high school

and other necessary school supplies.
l wish to appeal to the parents of
children of this county who are not
taking advantage of the educational
facilities in your midst. If your boy
or girl is not enrolled in good
school, have you very good reason
for his not being enrolled? Times
were when a common school training
seemed enough but this is not true
today. Conditions have changed, the
demands are being made each day.
each year, for more and more train
ing. II one is to succeed today, at
least high school training is neces-
sary. The sacrifice NAV seem great
deal but after all considered. it is
little. Give it another trial; let your
boy or girl try school just once more.
Or, If be has not tried, let him try ON
school this year for the first time.
And to the young men and women
who have dropped school or who are
to enter high school for the first time.
