meUCe Oh MOnudy, september IOuTtn.
1t has been customary in Miller here
tofore to start the schools on Labor
Day. This year we will continue the
same traditional custom. 1t is our de-
sire to enroll pupils, get text books
distributed, collect textbook deposit
fee, and arrange other matters of
organization on that day. Pupils are
asked to report at 900 o'clock. They
will be kept about one hour, being
dismissed for the rest of the day after
that time.
Text Book Deposit
The usual text book deposit fee will
be collected again this year. This fee
is collected to insure careful treatment
of text books in hands of pupils. The
fee for children from the third grade
through the eighth is one dollar, and
for high school pupils is two dollars.
There Is a family limit of four dollars.
In families where this limit applies
please send money with pupils in high
est grades. This system has been in
use the last two years and has been
a big help in keeping text books in
good condition. The cost of the books
used by any one pupil is five to six

logical effect of the money being held
for them until the end of year has been
a stimulus in a good many cases to
take better care of their books. At
the end of the year this deposit fee
will be returned on condition pupils
have taken good care of books loaned
TO them. IL not an amount will be
deducted from fee to cover unneces-
sary damage to books or desks. Ii
damage is done to an amount larger
than the deposit fee pupils will have
to make up the difference. 1t is es-
pecially desired that parents will take
particular pains to see hat all books
that pupils bring home r kept in
good condition and returned In good
condition.
