SCHOOL BEGINS
NEXT MONDAY
RemOdeling of School Building Gives
More Student Room. Large High
School Enrolment Expected

The Miller public schools will open
on next Monday, Sept. tenth. The
building is finished and all is in
readiness for al excellent school year.
Not only has the building been re-
decorated and re-modeled, but the
equipment has been thoroughly clean
ed and re-tinted.
The usual text book deposit will be
collected this year. The fee is one
dollar from the third grade through
the eighth and two dollars in high
school. The maximum family fee is
tour dollars. This fee is returned at
end of year if books and equipment
loaned to children are kept in good
condition during the year. 1t is ask
ed that money be sent to school on
first day. Ii money is not sent on
first day please send word when mon
ey will be sent. This fee has been
charged for the past three years and
has proved a great help in keeping
the books in good shape. The board
of education spends considerable
money each year for books. They
must have an assurance that these
books are going to be kept In good
condition and all returned at end of
year. The amount asked only amounts
to about one fifth the value of books
used in the schools.
1t is desired that all pupil from the
second grade through the eighth
bring paper and pencils with them
on Monday. Also that upper grade
children and high school students
bring pen holders and paper. We
wish to organize school in the MORN
ing in the grades and hold part OF a
regular session in the afternoon.
Heretofore we have opened school on
Labor day and have dismissed pupils
after enrolment has been taken and
instructions sent home as to mater
ials to be purchased. This year We
wish to get all routine matters
Strengthened out and also get, started
on the regular school work. Pupils
will be at school about two hours in
morning and about two hours in after
noon. Regular school work will be
held the rest of the week except day
given to attend the state fair.
A grade teachers meeting will be
held on Saturday afternoon, Sept. Sth
at two o'clock. A high school teach
ers meeting will be held at four

talk matters with superintendent
please see him at Office before Satur-
day p. M.
High school enrolment will take
place on Monday morning. There are
one hundred sixty seats in the assem-
bly, room at the present time with
room and seats to place one hundred
eighty five seats. A high school en-
rollment of one hundred sixty is ex-
pected and hoped for. This is the
same enrolment as last year. High
school pupils who come from the
country are having some difficulty in
finding places to board and room
where the Cost of the same is within
their reach. 1t is hoped that no pu-
pills will have to remain at home be-
cause the cost of board and room is
too high. There are also many of
these pupils who would attend il light
housekeeping Dom car De obtained.
At present there are three such plac-
es available. If others that are not
taken are available please let Mr..
Cooper know at once. If pupils from
the country who wish such places will
either call at Office at school house
or telephone to school building we
will do our best to locate them.
