SISSETON, SOUTH DAKOTA, Sci
School Opens September 22nd
The work on the school building
has now progressed to a point where
1t seems safe to set date for the
opening of the school. Unless there
should be an unexpected delay school
will commence September %. The
new addition will not be completed
at that time, but the remodeling of
the old building will be finished, and
with the primary building, more
rooms will be available from the very
first than at the close of last year.
1t is also expected that the gym
nasium auditorium will be ready for
use about month after the opening
of school.
A few particulars relating to the
teachers employed for the ensuing
year may be of interest to the patrons
at this time. Considering the present
unrest in educational work and the
scarcity of we'll qualified teachers we
have been fortunate in retaining as
many of our former teachers as we
have and in filling the vacancies.

jects or grades follows:

lish.

others.
