SCHOOL NEWS

In regard to the crowded condition
of the elementary school, fifteen
third grade children have been
moved into another room. This
change equalized the children in each
room to approximately Al per room.
Although this condition is not ideal,
nevertheless it is an improvement.
The State school code requires an
average attendance of 120, which
means an enrolment of from 130 to
1876, to secure a four room elemen-
tary school. AS soon as our school
secures this necessary enrolment the
Board of Education will supply us
with another elementary teacher.
Things look favorable for securing
that extra teacher this school year.
The High School chicken supper
will be held on Friday evening, Sept.
"a, from $50 to 900 O'Clock.
The proceeds of this supper will be
used for the payment of $100 debt
on our piano.
The first Parent-Teachers Associa
tion Meeting has been called by
President J. C. Mccoy for Tuesday
evening, October 5th. We want all
the members out in order to plan for
this years work.
