ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPENING
OF GARFIELD co. HIGH SCHOOL


r. 2. Clexton, U. S. commissioner of
education, sends us the following in
structiOn: at is of the utmost i'm
portance that during the continuance of
the war and through the years immedi-
ately following there shall be no low
ering in the efficiency of our educa.
tional SYSTEM. Schools and other
agencies of cdu::ri0n rust be ma L.
talncd at Whatever cost and against all
hurtful interference with their regular
work except as may be necessary for
the national defense.
- If the war be long and severe there
Will be great need in its later days for
| many Young men and women of scien-
tlflc knowledge, training and skill;
and it may then be much more difficult
than 1t is now to support our schools, to
spare our children and youth from
other service and to permit them TO
attend school.
Therefore no school should close its
doors or shorten its term unnecessarily.
All children in the elementary schools
and as nearly as possible all high
school pupils should remain in school
throughout the entire term.
''The desire to render immediate
service is praiseworthy and the spirit
which prompts it should be fostered.
But it is effective service that finally
counts. Schools and school officers,
students and teachers should ever keep
this goal of effective service in mind. -
The Garfield County High school will
open Monday, September 3, for registra-
ton and classification only. Regular
school work will begin on Tuesday.
The classes are requested to report in
the assembly room at the following
hours: Freshmen at 900 a. M, Soph-
omores at 9:45, Juniors at 1890, and
Seniors at 11:l5. This schedule ap-
plies to both commercial and academic
students.
Boys who are compelled to remain
out of school during harvest will be
given every opportunity and all assist
ance possible to make up their work

ever, that they report and register at
the time mentioned above.
