.ON MONDAY, SEPT. 12.
 GLENDALE, Sept. 3.-The Glen dale Union High school win open on Sept. 12. Pupils are requested to enroll as soon as possible in order that the schedule of classes may be made up and books and other equip ment provided for as soon as pos sible, to the end that no time may be lost at the opening of school because of lack of books or necessary articles. Every effort will be made this year to reduce the number of purchases to be made by each pupil. No new books will be introduced in the upper classes, and the lower classes will be permitted to use second hand books where such books are in reasonably good condition.
 There is now a cheaper grade of notebook on the market than it was possible to obtain last school year, and this book-cover will be substi- tuted for the ones used last year, but any one having one of last years notebook covers will find 1t accept able this year as well. The note book paper or filters have been pllr- chased by the school in quantity, and will be retailed to the pupils at cost :. This policy was followed the last of the past school year, and proved satisfactory in many respects. The pupils had access to paper, when needed. without an extra trip to town, the paper was of uniform size and quality, and better price could be made than is possible to make where rent and clerk hire are to be consid- cred. It may be claimed that the l teachers are not hired to serve as clerks, but the school exists to serve | the community and it was proven | last year that this sort of service was much needed and appreciated by | those concerned.
 Some inquiries have been made as | to whether the girls are to be com 1 pelled to wear uniforms. To date the board of trustees has taken no action of this sort, the matter of dress has I not been the chief problem about 1 which the interest and activity of the board has centered.
 The state law requires that in all schools of the state, classed as high | schools, in which the total enroll ment of boys is 30, over IA years of age, military training must be of | fered and the boys must wear uni- 1 forms for drill. With this the board and the local school authorities have absolutely nothing to do. It is a state law and it makes little differ | ence whether we approve of it or not, 1t is a law until repealed and should be obeyed. There is no such l law however pertaining to the girls of high school age and it is the policy l of the board to leave such matter up | the right, always to condo mn or to prohibit any and all modes of dress not conducive to clean morality and l to the general welfare of the student body.
 Those in authority at the high school want the restrictions as to i dress, so liberal that no worthy boy | or girl will be inclined to deny him. l self or herself the education, which | the community has to offer him or her. Further this year of all years, 1 it is not intended that the parents shall feel any unnecessary financial burden has been placed upon them l by the school fads
 l It is the honest intention of those | in authority to conduct the high l school the coming year with the least | possible expense, both to the tax payers and to the pupils, making only such expenditures as shall be necessary to maintain good ser viceable school True thrift, how | ever IS 1OI III nOL spending a penny | out of that which has already been
 earned, but is quite as much in the | ability to make a good and proper
 use of all ones resources. Every
 community and society has obliga :
 tion debts to it's young people, which l cannot be withheld from them. We
 must have good schools, even while
 we debate the school tax.
 Commercial Club to Meet 1~x, %I.I @f the Glendale district commercial club | will be held Tuesday night, Septem-
 Der 6, at o'clock at the club rooms | on East Glendale avenue. It is the
 earnest request of President E. E. Jack that all the members be present l at this meeting. The meeting is of
 vital importance to the existence of

 the club on a more substantial basis
 will be thoroughly discussed.
