SCHOOL OPENS FIRST
 WEEK IN SEPTEMBER

Before long, September 4th to be exact, the call of the school bell will be heard once more in Wrangell and the young people of school age will again take up the pursuit of knowledge. The teachers will arrive within the next few days and the work for the year will be planned ahead as far as possible. The school house is undergoing a thorough renovation. New floors have been laid and painted and the large north room has been partitioned to form two rooms in order to accommodate the fourth teacher and high school department which is an added feature this year. New seats for the extra room and a teachers desk arrived yesterday.
 The course of study for the high school will depend much upon the former work of pros- pective pupils and their individual preferences. Some studies all pu- pills are required to take; others are optional. A commercial course which is of great benefit to the average pupil is not an impossibility if their is a demand for it.
 Departmental work, will be done to some extent. Miss Dyas, the intermediate teacher, will teach music in the school for twenty minutes each day and drawing several times a week, depending on the time that can be found outside the regular work. Sewing under the super vision of Miss Curtin. the pri- mary teacher, and some manual training..under Miss Carhast, the principal, will round out the weeks work. Miss Quasi will share the high school and upper grade work with Miss Carhart.
 The additional playground which has been acquired recently will prove of great benefit during recreation periods. Educators of the present day place great stress upon the importance of sufficient and properly equipped play grounds in conjunction with school work. Children learn val uable lessons in leadership CO., operation and general deport- ment during the play-hours.
 The Wrangell school board feels that it has secured an eX. cellent teaching corps. The CO., operation of parents and pupils is earnestly solicited that the year may be a profitable one. Pupils are requested to. enroll promptly on the opening day, if possible, and parents and others are urged to make it a pleasant duty to visit the school-rooms as often as is convenient in order to learn at first hand what work is being done.
