SCHOOL NOTES

School will open Monday, Sep
tember 10th. This is two weeks
later than the usual time for be
ginning school, yet it Will not
shorten the school year for 1t Will
be held nine months as usual. How
ever, there will be less vacation
during the year. This postponed
opening will permit all those
pupils who are now working two
weeks more to continue their work.
The u. s. government urges that
the schools continue with the
greatest efficiency possible. Ii
emphasizes regular attendance OF
all pupils enrolled, and big en-
rollmcnt for those above the com
pulsory age limit. A large high
school and college attendance is
urged for both boys and girls,
The great need after this great
war will be trained leaders. .
This ought to have great signiti-
cance to farmer boys as well as to
those in the cities. This scientific
age needs leaders, highly trained
for efficient service.
President Wilson in special let
ter on the subject writes as fol
lows:
IL am pleased to know that
despite the unusual burdens I'M
posed upon our people by the war
they have maintained their schools
and other agencies of education so
nearly at their normal efficiency.
That this should be continued
throughout the war and that, in so
far as the draft law will permit,
there should be no falling off in
attendance in elementary schools,
high schools or colleges is Il mat
ter of the very greatest import
ance. affecting both our strength
i'm war and our national welfare
and efficiency when the war is
over. SO long as the war con
tinues there will be constant need
of very large numbers of men and
women of the highest and most
thorough training for war service
in many lines. After the war
there will be urgent need not only
for trained leadership in all lines
of industrial, commercial, social
and civic life, but for a very high
average of intelligence and pre-
paration on the part of all the
people. | would therefore urge
that the people continue to give
generous support to their schools
of all grades and that the schools
adjust themselves as wisely as pos
sible to the new conditions to the
end that no boy or girl shall have
less opportunity for education be
cause of the war and that the ma.
ton may be strengthened as it can
only be through the right educa
ton of all its people. ~
