Public Reception

An invitation to which every adult
Individual in the city of Edgerton
should feel it his duty to respond is
issued for a public reception to the
teachers of the local schools. The re
ception will be held in the High
School gymnasium on Friday even
ing of this week at 1880 o'clock.
Receptions held during the past
two years have been very poorly at
tended. This year it should be other
wise. Parents of pupils in either
grades or high school are especially
urged to attend. If the value of such
attendance could be appreciated no
parent would fail to take advantage
of this opportunity.
There are many friends of the
school who have no children in school
but who support Loyalty all school
activities. They are urged to exhib-
it their spirit of friendship in their
attendance on Friday.
This year is to be a year when
support of the school by the commun
ity is necessary in larger degree
than ever before. With the support
which Edgerton is capable of giving
it's schools, the best school year in
the history of the city is probable.
You are appealed to, with this in
view. Be at the meeting on Friday
night and show that you are with the
public schools. Refreshments will
be served.
