PUBLIC SCHOOLS ID OPEN MONDAY
 SEPT. 9TH
OF SPECIAL INTEREST THIS YEAR IS THE ADDITION OF KINDER GARTEN DEPARTMENT
 AND INDUSTRIAL EDU-
 CATION FOR GIRLS

The Clifton Public Schools will op- en next Monday, September Sth. The Junior and Senior High School will assemble at S:15, elementary school at i9:00.
 On account of the fact that at this moment many assignments of teachers would be merely tentative and subject to change, the complete list of teach CTS cannot be published until later. | The school management is pleased to announce the following innovations | i'll the Clifton schools.
 Of especial interest is the addition of kindergarten department. Kin dergartens will be established in the following places: For South Clifton in the Auditorium, for North Clifton, in the old Presbyterian church and for Chase Creek in the basement of the Chase Creek school building. The plan is to handle the children of kindergarten age, between the ages i of five and six, in two groups at each building; one group to come from to II in the forenoon and the second group from 1 to in the afternoon. For ! the present, at least, these groups will | D6 Qltlucu ud0pAdUCtiCdliys OI thO III ot day, however, parents having children between the ages above mentioned, are invited to bring their children or send them in the care of older brothers or sisters to the places mentioned at nine o'clock Monday morning. If it is found that a sufficient number of children between the ages named do not enroll the age limit will be lowered to 4 1-2 years.
 Another step of considerable i'm portance will be the inauguration of in | dustrial education for girls, as stan dardized under the requirements oi the so-called Smith Hughes Bill and l subsidized by both federal and state governments To this end, the high school classes in home economies and a special class for girls at the North Clifton school will be placed in the charge of an instructor approved of and certified by the Director of Vo oational Education for Arizona. The management hopes that this is but the beginning of industrial educa, tion and that in the near future indus trial education for boys may be placed on the same basis.
 There is an unusual scarcity of teachers at the present time; neverthe less. with one or two minor exceptions the superintendent expects the Clifton corps of teachers to be recruited to full strength by next Monday morn ing.
 Considerable difficulty has been met in finding suitable quarters for mans lpew' women .acbrs who are eXpect"d lthe later part of the present week. All persons who have suitable rooms tC rent to women teachers are especial fly urged to list their rooms with the superintendent. M. O. Simms was a business visitor in Morenci Tuesday.
