SCHOOL OPENS
SEPTEMBER 10
Decatur Avenue Building Ready
For Occupancy-Will Provide
For Leeds Avenue Pupils.
new TEACHERS SELECTED

The Pleasantville public schools
will open on Monday, September 10th.
The new Decatur Avenue Grammar
School will be ready for occupancy,
under the supervision of Principal Til
man Johnson. In addition to taking
care of pupils apportioned from the
other grammar schools, the Decatur
avenue building will also provide for
all the pupils of the Leeds avenue
school this winter, and possibly all
the school term. Arrangements have
been completed for the transportation
of these pupils to and from school
each day. The Leeds venue school
building has been razed, and in its
place there is to be erected a four
room bungalow type school house.
While the contractors have said that
the new structure might be ready
shortly after the first of the new year,
it is believed that the completion will
run into Spring months.
There will be no half day sessions
this year for pupils. This has caused
much dissension in past years, but
could not be avoided with the availa-
BILE school room. School officials be-
lieve the enrolment this year will be
far greater than any past year, but
Decatur avenue school will provide
sufficient room for all who cannot find
room in the other buildings.
This year there will be strenuous
efforts put forth by the school officials
to keep every pupil in school every
day. All violators of the truancy law
will be prosecuted this year. The at
tendance law reaches every pupil en-
rolled, whether they have reached the
age of sixteen years or not, and the
law will be strictly adhered to in ey-
cry particular. The truant officer will
receive strict instructions to cause
every pupil to attend school regularly
and to arrest all who violate the law.
Parents are admonished to see to it
that their children are kept in school
every day.
At the meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation held on Tuesday night, two new
teachers were provided for. Miss
Emily L. Kaufman, of Hughesvillet
Pa, was appointed to teach English in

much trouble, and so they went in
clothes and all. They returned late
in the afternoon, after having a glo-
rious day.
Miss Evelyn is the ~six-year-old
daughter of G. W. Singer, and Miss
