School Opens September 10

The Kendrick schools will open
Monday, September 10. 1t is urged
that all pupils be present, that the
work Of organization may be COM
pleted as soon as possible. Since
there are less than one hundred
eighty school days in the year it is
evident that few missed will work
hardship upon the pupil. No pu-
pill should hesitate to enter late,
however, if circumstances make it
impossible to enter on time.
1t is especially desired that all
high school students be present
Monday. The entire high school
faculty is new and unacquainted
with the needs and desires of the
students regarding their courses,
It is hoped that the organization of
the high school can be completed in
day or two. after which no
changes will be made in subjects and
arrangement of program if they can
be avoided. 1t is important there
fore, that all high school students
be present the opening day to hear
announcements and description of
courses.
School life is both a part of real
life and a preparation for a more
complete life. The purpose of
school is, in the main, to aid the pu-
pill to find out what he can do best
in life and to have an appreciation
of and sympathy for many other
occupations; to have desire and
ability to become an independent
member of society and to contribute
something to the world that will
make it happier. In other words,
the aim of school is to develop good
citizenship. This makes it necessary
for the school to endeavor to make
every child efficient. so far as is
possible, physically, mentally, NOR
ally, spiritually.
With this object in view the board
of directors has made a careful Sc
lection Of teachers. All teachers of
training and experience. They come
prepared to carry out the wishes of
the State Board regarding courses
designed best to develop good citi-
zenship.
The State Board lays emphasis
upon those subjects that will func-
tion most in the life of every per-
son. These are believed to be so
far as the high school is concerned,
the English language and literature;
the sciences. history, government.
economics, sociology; the manual
arts, including all industrial work.
In addition to these essentials, it is
believed that students should have
an opportunity to study the foreign
languages, music and advanced
mathematics. A high school cannot
make specialist of any one, but it
can lay foundation for any worthy
trade, profession or calling.
The high school this year is pre-
pated to offer strong courses in
everything enumerated, but must
of necessity offer limited courses in
the manual arts. All will be done
in cooking, sewing, wood work,
agriculture and bookkeeping that
time and equipment will make pos
sible. After this year the teaching
force and equipment may be en-.
larged without additional taxation.
The work of the elementary
grades has become quite we'll estab-
lished. 1t is necessary only to state
that an exceptionally strong corps
of teachers will be in charge of
these grades.
Let us hope that the schools this
year may be the best ever in the
history of Kendrick and that there
may be continued progress during
the years to come.

Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
Both men have American wives;

Germany's attempt to negotiate
the issue OF her unlimited submarine

with suspicion by these officials. The
