Parents are urged to visit the
school, get acquainted with the
teacher OF grade in which your
child is and be free to make
comments and suggestions as to
your child's school welfare. Your
cooperation is necessary to make
this year a banner one in the
school career of your child.
The state of Kansas adopts
the texts to be used in the
various classes. The state
publishes most of the school texts
and thus the patrons get the
school books a great deal cheaper
than in most other states.
Patrons should note that all
pupils of the second, first and
primary grades who live south Of
River street are expected to
attend the cottage school build
ing in the south part of town.
There are undoubtedly many
children in Baxter of school age
who have not entered. Every
boy and girl from 6 to l6 inclus-
i've, is according to the laws OF
Kansas, expected to be in school.
In cases of proven necessity "a
boy or girl above IA may be
excused by the superintendent Of
schools in case such boy or girl
can write, spell and read. The
statute providing for compulsory
education has been applied in
Kansas for a number of years
and has been found very salts
factory in every respect. This
statement is made for the bene-
fit of those who know not the
Kansas provision in regard to
this matter.

Upon the assumption that
everything was all right the

More than six inches ct snow fell be- tween II o'clock Thursday night and 2.20 Friday morning, blanketing this city under robe of white that was beautiful to look upon, but a mighty handicap to those who are charged with making the wheels of traffic move smoothly.
 During the period from midnight to 2.30 Friday morning the snow fell in blinding sheets, which were driven about by wind blowing at half a gale. Persons who were out during. the hours mentions say they never saw it snow harder.
 While the height of the storm was from midnight to 2.3O a. n1., the fall of snow continued well into the morning and when the storm was over there was between s and 10 inches on the level in this city, one of the heaviest December falls in many years.
 The storm having inferfered with train and trolley service many per sons who make their homes here but who are employed in nearby villages were delayed in getting to their work. Friday morning. Automobiles that tried to buck way through the heavy covering of snow found the going mighty tough and some of the
 Snow shovel brigades appeared for duty soon after the storm ceased and promptly cleared enough walks to make it possible to get about without difficulty.
