The Redwood Falls Public Schools
| will open Tuesday, September 7
Teachers meetings will be held Mon,
day September 6. The Board of Edu-
! cation has been fortunate in secur-
ing a strong corps of teachers fol
| the coming year and a new High
School teacher will be added to the
faculty to take care of the increased
| enrolment. The janitors have been
on the job all summer and have the
! buildings, grounds and equipment in
splendid condition. Every part of the
two buildings has been made just as
sanitary as possible. New books ano
supplies are now on hand so that there
will be no delay in getting classes
started.
1t is very important that students
| in both the grades and high school
start school during the first week
and better that they start the first
day. 1t is mistaken notion that q
pupil may miss the first week or two
of school without material loss. The
| fact is that the first few days OF
school are just as important as any
other school days during the year. II
student gets a poor start he is
| handicapped for the remainder of the
year. The regular lessons are plann-
ed to keep the average student busy
| consequently very little time is left
| for makeup work. Parents are most
earnestly urged to see that their chill
dren start school the first day if pos
sible, if they want them to do good
work.
The playground work will be under
the supervision of Miss Flora Berge-
son an experienced teacher. The equip
for the first day.
ment and grounds will be in readiness
Two classes in Vocational Agricul-
ture will be offered to young men, who
plan to make farming their vocation
These two classes will be organized
September T. One will devote the en-
tire forenoon to agricultural work for
nine months and in the afternoon il
will take other High School work
Three months of project work is re-
quired The other class will devote
the entire afternoon to agricultural
work for six months and study other
subjects during the forenoon. Six
months work of home project will be
required This latter class will organ
ize, SeptembefN when other High
School students enroll but will be dis
missed for period of twelve weeks
to assist with fall work on the farms
A student taking this course will be
able to earn regular High SchooI
credits, which will permit him to en-,
ter the junior class the same as stu,
dents taking other courses. The agri
cultural work is planned for two
year course, although boys may take
one years work of the course. On &C
count of the scarcity of labor and high
wages it is a great temptation fol
boys to remain out of school, but i
| they will give the matter careful con
sideration they will see it is far bet
ter and of more lasting good to thor
oughly prepare themselves while they
have the opportunity, then it is tt
stop to earn few dollars now. Par
ents should make ample provision fol
their children's education, while they
are of school age.
Miss Luella M. King an experienced
teacher, will have charge of the Nor
NAL Training class. Students who
have twelve credits will be permitted
to enter this department.
Beginners orchestra and band viii
| be organized for those who wish tt
| get credit in that work Experienced
players may join the First Orchestra
and Band.
