ESTANC|A SCHOOLS
OPEN sEPTMBER 8

The time for the opening O.
the Estancia schools being
near, it is appropriate to cal
attention of parents and pu
pills, or prospective pupils, to
what has been done to make
the Estancia schools the best
possible.
None but teachers holding
first grade certificates have
been employed, and all are
experienced and tried teach
ers. The greatest care has
been exercised in their selec-
ton, with a special view to the
fitness of each for the work
assigned.
The board feel that they
have a first class corps of
teachers, and it is the purpose
of the board to uphold and
supplement their efforts in
every possible way, to the end
that Estancia may have schools
second to none in the state.
If parents will now do their
part (for parents have a part,
and a very important one) in
supplementing and aiding the
efforts of the teachers and
board, there is no reason why
the Estancia schools should
not make a reputation as
among the very best. The par
ent who allows or encourages
a child to become lax or in
subordinate is doing the child
a woeful wrong. 1t is crime
against posterity to remote
generations to bring a child
into the world and then fall
short in the duties of parent
hood, one of the most impor-
tant of which is to aid in
holding the child in a true
course at school.
And the person who has no
children of schoo. age is much
mistaken if he supposes he
has no interest in the school.
One of the greatest assets
from a material point of view
the mere question of dollars
and cents-that a community
can have, is an excellent
school.
Therefore, let all of us, by
word and example, try to help
the school along.
In this connection the fol-
lowing short summary in re-
