Superintendent Wichman Gives
Rules Regarding Entering
Schools in Report

A report from Superintendent j.
H. Wichman, regarding the opening
of the Redwood Falls schools, in
which Mr.. Wichman gives all rules
for entering, follows:
"More than 25,OOO,OOO pupils and
100000 teachers will go back to
their duties in the school rooms OF
this country when the bell rings IN
about three weeks. One scarcely
realizes the general effect which the
opening of school has on practically
every home in this land of ours. The
compulsory attendance laws have
produced public school system
which has had a gradual development
such as no other country can boast
of. 1t is remarkable that system
grew up which is so general in its
uniformity.
The Redwood Falls schools will
open for the year 1929-1930 on Tues
day morning, September 3rd, 1929.
The teachers will be on duty on Mon
day to plan their work and attend
a general faculty meeting. Regular
work will be planned for Tuesday
and pupils are informed that full
days session will be held. The Jun
Tor and Senior high schools start at
S:45 A. M. and the first six grades
at 900 A. M.
All students who have not attend
ed the local schools before are urged
to enroll on Thursday, August 22nd
at the Lincoln school between the
hours from 9 to IL A. M. and the
hours from l to 3 P. M. This in
cludes pupils in the grades as well
as the junior and senior high schools.
Parents and pupils will be able to
receive better attention on that day
than they will on the opening day OF
school when there are multitude
of other duties to attend to. Pupils
in the first six grades and the first
two years in the junior high school
must present a promotion certificate
or a report card from the school last

to enroll.
Pupils who have not attendde school
before must be six years of age on or
before january 1880. A tuition
charge of six dollars per month will
be charged for all pupils in the first
eight grades whose residence is in
another district. Tuition is payable
in advance for three months. Par
ents enrolling pupils from another
district do so with the understanding
that this charge is their obligation
before each three month period.
Pupils who have completed the eigh-
tn grade and are enrolled as full
time high school student do not pay
tuition, since the state takes care of
such tuition.
Students may secure list of the
text books used in the high school by
calling at the Lincoln school office
on August 22nd. Second hand books
should be left at the office the day
before, August 21st, in order that
students may secure second hand
