Solem School Opening.

The opening exercises of the Salem
Consolidated School for the session of
1918 will be held Monday, September
3rd, at nine O'Clock. Every patron of
the school is earnestly requested to be
present.
The school last year had very sue
cessful session, and we expect this year
even better school than we had last
year. Two new courses are being Of
fered-Manual Training and Domestic
Science. There was probably never a
time when the need of an industrial
training was so urgent as now, and
there is always need for the man on
the farm to know how to cut rafters
and doorstebs and construct things of
practical use to him in his work about
the farm. Our course in manual train
ing is planned to meet these needs.
Practical lessons in sewing and cooking
will be given for the benefit of the
girls. Our equipment will be sufficient
to do credit work in both these courses.
Now, in order that the teachers and
pupils may do the best work possible,
it is very necessary that your children
attend the entire session. 1t is very
unfortunate for the child to be forced
to take up his cass work after school
has been in session for several weeks.
He can no more do the work required
than you can do a days work on the
farm if you get to the field at nine
O'Clock. Let me, therefore. urge that
you give US your children every day
this session
Again we ask that everybody be with
US at the opening hour. A good begin
ming means much for the success of the
school, Respectfully yours,
W, B. JONES, Principal.
