SCHOOL NOTES


finished. The discomforts under which
we are laboring are many but so far
no word OF complaint has reached US
from any Of the teachers. We are in
clined to think that teachers are the
most patient people in the world and
hope that they will have their reward
IN the very near future
The kandiyohi County Fair opens
on Wednesday of this week. All
grades from one to six will be in SEES
sion from to 2:3O on Wednesday and
Thursday and the Junior and Senior
H. Schools will hold classes from 8
to II On those days. School will be-
closed all day on Friday. This will
give everyone a chance to attend the
Fair and also will furUsk the con.
tractors with a little extra time in
which to get our school building in
shape.
The school is planning on it's annual
exhibit in the auditorium building
Owing to the immense amount of work
connected with the opening Of school
we have very little time to prepare
for it properly. Some very fine work
was done last year in sewing, cooking
and manual training, but it is diff
| cult to get these articles together at
this time of the year.
An effort is being made to obtain
the same foot ball field that was used
last fall. Last year we had the free
use OF this ground thru the courtesy
of Messrs. Rowat, Stanford and Bred
eson The field is near the school
grounds and a convenient place for
spectators to go.
Our football schedule has not yet
been made out. We have challenges
so far from Hutchinson, Hancock and
| Montevideo. In addition to these we
plan to play Benson. Renville, Glen
coe and Litchfeld, if games can be
arranged. The boys are working hard
| every night and we have an unusually
large squad of men trying out for the
team.
Mr.. Wahlstrand will be the Mana
ger of our athletics this year, Mr..
Brohaugh the Treasurer, Mr. Trebil-
cock, Head Coach and Mr.. Erickson,
Assistant Coach.
Miss Marion Gratz spent Thursday
and Friday of this week attending the
| wedding of a friend. Miss Geraldine
Haley substituted for her.
The lower grades of the Central
building are over crowded. There
| have been large number of requests
| from parents asking us to admit pupils
who will not be six by the first of
January. These we have been forced
! to refuse as we cannot take care pro-
| perly Of the pupils we now have. 9th
| er parents have requested US to en-
| roll pupils in the Central district who
belong either in the Garfield or the
| Lincoln This we cannot do for the
| simple reason that we have no room
for them in the Central school.
| The new building which is just be-
ing completed has been needed in
Willmar for a long time and for that
reason it is already filed to overflow
| ing. We hope that those who are in
terested will do what they can to plan
for new building in the East end of
town. In the meantime we must get
along as we'll as we can.
| The shades for the Central group
of buildings have just arrived as soon
as possible. These shades are the
Draper Adjustable Shades and can be
raised from the bottom or dropped
from the top. They are of a dark tan
color and add considerable to the ap,
pearance Of the building.
On Monday, September goth, Mr.
Edwin Harris Bergh, famous Amer
| lean violinist, will play for the pupils
Of the school in the new auditorium.
Admission charges will be 15c.
Following is the enrolment in the
different buildings for the first week
Of school.
