PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
OPEN SEPT. 10th
The date for the opening of the War
ren Public schools has been set this
year as Sept 10th. 1t is thot, with the
excellent weather for harvesting that
has prevailed, that it will be possible
for most of the students to be back by
that (. time. II a few of the farmer
boys are a week or two late arrange
ments will be made for them to make
up the work. It is by all means adj
svisable, however, for all expecting to
do regular high school work to be
present as early as possible. We
should be very glad If those who can
not possibly begin on time, would
either write or telephone us to that
effect. By SO doing you will make it
much easier for the teachers to plan
your work when you enter school. 1t is
very necessary that those who are be-
ginning the first years work of ..the
nigh school, be on hand early in the
year as the work will all be new to
you and will be difficult to take after
the class has gotten a good start.
Please remember that there is no
tuition charged to any pupil residing
In Minnesota, who wishes to enter the
Warren High: School or the seventh
and eighth grades. Below the seventh
grade the tuition charged the pupil is
$1.OO per month payable in advance
Pupils from our associated districts
pay no tuition:
We have had letters from some who
wish to enter school and desire a place
to stay where they may work for room
and board. Others wish places to stay
but intend to pay for rooms and board.
Those who can accommodate such ones
should let us know, that we may get
these young people suitably located.
A years work of a commercial ma
ture will be taught during the coming
year. This will consist of writing,
spelling, business arithmetic, simple
English and probably the simplest prin-
.ciples of commercial law. This will be
given largely to the Freshmen and to a
few in other classes who are very de-
ficient in such work. There is wish
on the part of many Of our citizens
that a commercial department be plac-
O(7 in 40 va1,1,1
schools have such department, but it
has been thot best this year to put in
only a small amout of commercial
work.
We, hope this year to put forth a
special effort to build up and increase
the usefulness Of the school library.
Miss Martha Wilson, of the state de
partment of education, together with
Ackerman, our school librarian, will
re-arrange the entire library this fall
and get erything in first class shape
Miss Alderman has taken the library
course at the university during the
past summer and will return to her
work full of enthusiasm. We would
like to suggest that the library needs
furniture in the way of a few good
tables and chairs. Is there not some
Warren citizen and friend of the public
schools who would like to furnish this
room.
We are sorry that Mr.. Selleck will
not be with us the coming year. He
felt that the call of his country came
before and above every other call. He
has passed the examination for en-
trance into the "Officers' Training
Camp in Wisconsin and resigns hi
school position to enter the service q
1 his country.
/ Miss Payden and Miss Agnes Bake
who have served very efficiently a
teachers for the past three and tw'
/ years respectively, have also resigned
their positions in our schools.
