nesday morning for six weeks term.
at the Rogers, Arnold and Abbot
schools. The school will be for
pupils of the first and second, and
sixth and seventh grades. 1t is es-
timated that $50 pupils will attend.
The school for pupils of the sixth
and seventh grades will be in charge
of the principals of the schools and
that for first and second grades will
be in charge of the primary teach
ers. 1t has been found that most OF
the failures in the first and second
grades have been due to being kept
out of school during the influenza
epidemic, and by holding summer
school these pupils will be able to
advance with their class next fall.
The school sessions will start at S
o'clock and last until noon. 1t is be-
lieved that the work in which the
pupils of the sixth and seventh
grades were slightly below average
can be made up in this time ana
they can all be eligible for promotion
in the fall.
