SCHOOL OPENS
SEPTEMBER 9Th
Indications Are That Enrolment
Will Be Larger Than Any Previous
Year in Schools of Country.

The old school bell will again soon
be heard sending out it's appeal to
the children of this and other COM
munities of our country. With all
the depression in various lines of
business activity, and economic re-
construc.. lion and retrenchment, the
school rooms of this nation will be
called upon this year to take care of
the largest enrolment in their his
tory. With business and industry
eliminating and discharging so many
OF their employees, they are retain
ing only those who can render the
greatest amount of service and eff
cheney. The inefficient and poorly
prepared are not only being elimil.-
ated from the actual field of labor
but are being urged by their former
employers to 60 back to school and
better prepare themselves for more
efficient service. Preparedness con-
stitutes eighty per cent of efficiency.
The hunter who expects to get his
bird takes aim before he shoots.
The janitors have spent the entire
summer giving the buildings thor
ough cleaning. A considerable num-
Der Of the rooms have been re-kal-
sOmined and every room is being
thoroughly fumigated. The health
of the child is being given equal
consideration with the development
of his intellectual faculties. The
janitors in charge of the buildings
this year are: Irving-Mr. E. E.
SAINT; Central-Mr. w. r. Dolan;
High School-Mr. G. w. Carmen;
Technical-Mr. l.. Convey.
In the selection of teachers to fill
the posi- uions made vacant by reason
of the members of last years staff
who did not wish to return or by the
later resignation of several others
who desired their release, the utmost
care has been exercised. All incom-
ing teachers are being made to quail
ify under the new State law which
was passed by the last Legislature
and which goes into effect September
1st, 1921, and reaches it's final stage
in 1924, that all persons desiring
a teachers certificate in the state Of
Idaho must present to the State Board
qualifications of at least two years
training beyond graduation from a
four-year high school course" This
law has been followed in the selec-
ton of new teachers in Blackfoot this
year. The following is a list of the
