MOSCOW SCHOOLS
Open SEPTEMBER5 5
SEPTEMBER f.
EFFICIENT CORPS OF INSTRUC-
TORS is SECURED

The school board of Independent
School District No. 5 has officially
decided upon Tuesday, September 5,
as the date upon which the Moscow
schools Will be opened. Monday,
September 4, will be given over 20
registration and conferences. The
entire list of teachers has been filled,
with as many of last years teachers
as wished to remain, being retained
for the coming year. 1t is the belief
of superintendent Phi. Soulen that
decidedly strong corps of instructors
has been secured.
During the summer the school bull
dings have all been thoroughly clean
ed and renovated. The interior of
the high school building has been
newly calsomined and the seats and
desks all scraped and revarnished.
Children Must be Six Years Old
The ruling of the school board made
last year with regard to the age of
children when admitted to the prl-
mary grade, is emphasized for this
year. The ruling provides that child
rem must be six years old on or before
the opening day of school. This rul-
ing was strictly adhered to last year,
and the school authorities will be just
as strict in their enforcement this
year.
A committee appeared before the
school board at the last meeting with
the request that the Lincoln building,
in the southeast part of town, be
opened to children in the primary
grade again, after having been closed
some two or three years. While it is
questionable, because of being so
near the date of the opening of school,
if it will be possible to equip the
building and make arrangements for
teachers, the school board and Sup
erintendent Soulen are making an eff
fort to see what can be done, and
hope to be able to open the school to
primary pupils, if arrangements can
be made in the short time remaining.
The same janitors will be employed
as last year, for the school buildings.
A. B. Dilly, veteran janitor, has been
transferred from the high school
Mr.. Olsen from the Irving building
to the high school building. Milo
Hunt will have charge of the Whit
worth building and George Smith VIII
continue as fireman at the high school
building.
In order that homes may be readily
secured for the teachers, Superinten-
dent Soulen desires all persons who
can furnish rooms, or rooms and
board, to mall hlm letter or post
card, giving the name and address.
so that teachers may be referred to
these places without delay upon their
arrival.
