DIX, 6llu OulOn 0A8u ECsAOVAs DAc
trict Number Three, will open Mon
day. September 8. at 8 O'Clock. A. M.
The only work done on Monday,
will be registration, distribution of
texts, and assignments. No pupils
should neglect to come, for 1t is best
to get these preliminaries attended
to, SO that regular work may go on
unretarded Tuesday Morning.
1t il urged that all pupils start
at the beginning of school and thus
avoid the embarrassment OF finding
themselves behind in their work
sometimes hOplessly SO. Let all
pupils be on hand at the beginn-
ing hour, and strive for regular at
tendance throughout the year, and
thus make this the Best of All
years for themselves and for the
school.
1t is planned to carry on school
lunches again, for the benefit OF pu-
pills from distance. who otherwise
must eat cold food for the midday
meal Last year this was very sue
cessful and we were able to furnish
a very wholesome lunch for 10 cents
which was practically the cost It
is requested that farmers and others
will donate vegestables, fruits etc.
which may be stored, and used in
the lunches. In this way q much
better lunch may be provided to
the pupils for the money. 1t is not
the intention to make a cent out OF
this work, but the whole aim is to
provide for the welfare of the child
rem.
The buildings have been through
ly cleaned this year. The floors
have been oiled, the blackboards
re-slated the walls and ceilings
painted or kalsomined, and alto
gether the rooms will be more at
tractfve and sanitary than ever
The beet ranch school has been
moved about a mile farther east,
and the Cheyenne school will not
be in session this year, the pupils
OF both schools, attending the one
building. 1t is probable that the
Cheyenne Building may be moved
and converted into q teacherage.
