SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. !
lContinued from page onel


end of the last school year were all
given this promotion on condition
that they be in school by the first
or second week of school this fall.
. This did not apply to the high
school but it is equally as neces-
sary to have a prompt start there
students must show willingness and
ability to do the work which they
are promoted to or they will be de-
= NOTED If they are total failures or
be retained at the end of the school
wear if they are partial failures.
The welfare of other children or
the standard of the school cannot
be sacrificed for any who are unable
or unwilling to keep up with their
work. 1t is not wise to try to make
a student do work he is not able
to do and no student who will work
cup to a fair degree of his capacity
should expect to remain with oilers
who are doing their work well.
The School Day
We will have the same time sche-
dule that we have been using for
r several years. The building will
be open at S:15 in the morning. The
school bell will ring at 500 when
all teachers are expected to be in
their places. The second bell will
ring at 8:15 when the building will
be open to those who wish to enter
for study or work with their teach
, ers. The last bell in the morning
will be at $40 and will give the
students five minutes to get to their
seats without being tardy. Regu-
lar school work beings at 8:45 in
all rooms. The first three. grades
will be dismissed at HAS and the
others with high school at 1900.
The bell will ring at 100 for ad-
mission of all students who wish to
enter for any kind of school work.
Others should wait until the second
bell which rings at ITO. Regular
work begins at lis in the after
noon The first three grades will
be kept until three this year the
same as the upper grades. High
school will dismiss at 3:45. In the
grades from 800 to 400 in the af-
ternoon will be regarded as a kind
of extra period used to help stud
ents who are behind with their
work or who fail to make proper
recitations during the day. In the
high school the extra period will be
from 3:45 to 1870. Students who
are kept during these periods are
not to regard it as a punishment
but rather as help. They will not
be kept later except for punishment
or at their own request. Parents
will help very much if they start
children for school at some regular
time Some students are inclined to
come too early and waste their time.
Others wait too long and are occa-
sionally tardy. They should also try
to have students come directly home
when dismissed from school. Many
students go down town after school
and give their parents the impress
sion that they are kept in the school
building. During the noon hour there
is only one teacher at the building
to have charge of the lunch hour and
to supervise the grounds. 1t will be
a great help if students do not re-
turn until about one O'Clock as they
cannot enter the building and the
lunch students are about all one
teacher can look after properly.
THE FIRST DAY
Grade students will meet in the
rooms which they were in last year
to be redistributed to their new
rooms. After assembling in their
new rooms preparations will be made
for the following day. The after
non will be used by the teachers for
a general teachers meeting in the Of
flee where they will receive direc-
tions on the work of the year. The
high school students also meet in
the forenoon for registratin and work
for the next days preparation. 1t will
not be necessary for any student to
attend in the afternoon.
NEW STUDENTS
Children entering school for the
first time should go directly to the
first grade room for beginners. They
should be six years of age before the
first of next January in order to be
entered this fall. All such students
should be present the first day If
possible and never later than the
first of October. Those entering late
must be given extra class work
which takes the time of the teacher
from her regular students. We do
not have beginning class at mid
wear and no mid wear promotions are
