MONTH
OF OUR SCHOOLS

The first month of Snyder public
schools closed Oct. 3.
The enrolment in High school de-
partment was unusually large for the
first month. In other departments
a little larger than that of last year
Only s cases of tardiness and a per-
centage of attendance of SO 1-1O
per cent. That does comparatively
well but we are not satisfied with
it. We desire'a still better record.
We have been hampered some
what in not being able to find some
one TO do repair work on school build
ings We have kept running however
by employing school boys to help
some.
Lack of school books has been a
considerable drawback, and we are
not yet fully supplied.
We invite the hearty cooperation
and sympathy of our patrons in our
work. and wish TO thank you for past
courtesies.
Respectfully.
