PUBLIC SCHOOL
Announcement

Superintendent l.. A. White an
nounces that the graded schools and
the Junior High School will open
Monday of next week, with Business
as usual" at nine o'clock.
First Year Children-Children who
Will be six years of age or more dur
ing this year, 1918, may enter school
on Monday. And it is important that
they enroll on the first day as there
will be no midyear starting class.
First grade children will come to
the school in the district in which they
live, at the hour of half past ten
(lO:3O) instead Of nine o'clock. There
is no preliminary enrolment.
Seventh and Eight Grade Pupils
Pupils of grades seven and eight will
assemble at the Junior High School
building-the old High school build
ing: There will be no seventh or
eighth grade work done in any other
school. With seven teachers devoting
full time 70 departme teaching of
grades seven and eight and with a
number of plans under way whereby
the Junior High School shall be still
further organized as separate school
there is reason to anticipate that these
pupils will become even more enthus-
iastic over their school and carry
their work thru with vim and en-
thusiasm.
Grades Two, Three, Four. Five and
Six-Pupils of grades two to six will
assemble at the usual hour at their
appropriate schools, with the excep-
ton of Sunnyside Fifth grade pupils,
who will enroll at once in Central
school. In order to relieve the two
basement rooms in Mckinley school,
the older pupils of that district, those
in grades five and six, will be permit
ted toxattend Central school where
number of advantages can be given
them that are not otherwise possible.

Condition" Examinations-Fo pu-
pills who have failed in some one or
two subjects, arrangements are made
whereby these failures may be over
come by examination, provided the
pupils can show evidence Of having

pills who wish to take examinations
will meet in the old High school
building at half past one on Friday af-
ternoon of this week to make arrange
ments for their tests to be given the
following day.
Summary.
/. School opens Monday, Septem-
Der sixteenth. Nine o'clock.
2. No preliminary enrolment fo1
first grade pupils. They attend their
proper school at 1890. Should be
able to give birth date and address.
3, Seventh and Eighth grade pu-
pills attend Junior High school build
ing.
a. All other pupils return to their
former buildings, except Sunnyside
fifth grade.
5. Mckinley fifth and sixth grade
pupils may be permitted to attend
Central but must first enroll at Nc
Kinley
1t is of great Importance that every
school pupil Of school age be in at
tendance from the first day The be-
Ginning days are of prime import and
that pupil is seriously handicapped
for the year who is not permitted to
enter on the first day Of school. It
is to be hoped that no parent will un-
derestimate the value of the first
week and the first day of school.
Boundary Lines for the Schools
No change is made in the boundary
lines that determine the school dis
trict. Pupils living on the west sile
of Second Street S. w. attend Lincoln
school, while those living on the east
side attend Central school. Pupils
living north of Central avenue attend
Mckinley school, while those living
south of Central avenue attend Cen
trail school. But as before stated, it
is possible this year to permit fifth
and sixth grade pupils in Mckinley
district to attend Central school in
stead of Mckinley school, This plan
avoids placing them in basement
rooms in the latter building. As here

PROTECTING THE FARMER.

Farmers in this county are delighted
over the new ruling which permits the
local exemption boards to place farm
labor, subject to the draft, in a de-
ferred class.
There has been considerable worry
on the part of the farmers for the rea-
son that they were threatened with a
serious labor shortage This order,
however, will enable all men who farm
for themselves or for others to stay
at home until the crops are secured.
At time when the farmers are be-
ing urged to plant more foodstuffs, it
would have been disastrous to have
taken their labor away. 1t would
have curtailed the production, and
might have had a serious effect in the
matter Of raising enough foodstuffs
for the military forces abroad. The
government took a sensible view of the
situation, with the result that farm
labor is practically recruited into the
war; service. though allowed to re-
main at home and fight For what the
farmer is doing is just as important,
in the aggregate, as. the fighting in
France.

A MASTERLY ADDRESS.

1t is a pity that more people can
not hear addresses like the inspiring
speech made in Americas yesterday
by Rev. Ashby Jones, of Atlanta. His
theme might be entitled, why The
United States Is At War;" because he
tells conclusvely why We are engag-
ed in this great conflict and demon
strates beyond argument how it was
impossible for lis to have stayed out
1--WE had either to take orders from
Berlin or from Washington" he says
and that's the story.
No one can hear DR.. Jones without
knowing forevermore that the United
States had no option-we had to go to
war; it was our duty to go; and we
should have gone sooner than we
really did.
DR.. Jones is we'll known in Ameri-
Gus, having been heard here before. He
is the son of the chaplain of Robert
T. Lee, and, by those who know, he
is said to be a speaker equally as
gifted as was his father. He is now
devoting this talent to the govern
ment, speaking in all parts of the
country, under the auspices of the
Councils of Defense.
One of the impressive features OF
his address here was his stressing o!
| the Importance of food conservation
He left the impress on every mind
that saving food is just as important
just as vitality necessary. as making
bullets and firing them. He also drove
it home that to waste food, or to in
dulge in it extravagantly as a time
like this is distinctly unpatriotic
If speakers of the type of Dr. Jones
could only go out into the rural dis
tricts, where the people do not have
the opportunity of hearing such adj
dresses nd learning such facts first
hand, there would soon be one hun.
dred per cent patriotism rife in the
land.

ment entirely over to the government,
