Libby Schools
Will Open On
September 3
When the 9 O'Clock Bell
Rings Another Years
Work Will Start.
FULL CORPS OF
TEACHERS SELECTED

The present school year begins on
Tuesday, September 3rd. The build
ings have been put in excellent condi-
tion during the summer, texts and
supplies are on hand and the teachers
will meet Monday to complete plans
for q full schedule of classes on the
opening day The local schools have
come to consider it matter of some
satisfaction to have the work so or
Ranized that the first day runs until
the whistle blows" It has the effect
Of getting the pupils and the faculty
away to a running start.
The opening of the school year will
bring relief to some of the young
people who find prolonged vacations
burdensome and tedious. To others it
will mean the joy of the school at
mosphere and environment. To some
parents it will bring relief from the
distraction Of keeping the children oc-
cupied and entertained. To others it
will mean heavy hearts when they see
for the first time the school sharing
with the home in the training of the
child. To some young -eople it will
mean the struggle to give up some re-
munerative position for what may
seem like less profitable work. Dollars
In hand now are easier to count than
those to be gained through continued
school training, but education must
be viewed in the terms Of future re-
turns. Financial needs may make it
necessary for some young people to
draw on their earning power to its
limit now with the hopes of conplet-
ing their schooling later on. In the
thinking youth this only makes him
appreciate the more the advantages
Of education and makes him the more
determined to secure all that he can.
The danger to this group is the "cool-
ing process" that takes place while
they are out and which makes it diff
ficult to take up studies with young
er group of pupils.
AS a rule, parents are more con-
cerned about adequate schooling than
the child This is because of the fact
that If they have been educated they
appreciate its value: if they have not
they are conscious of it's loss.
Young people may argue that they
have sufficient training to meet fu-
ture requirements. 1t is difficult to
foresee what these requirements may
be. Because Of the rapidly changing
standards, people are now confronted
with situations they could not have
foreseen ten years ago. In farming,
In industry and in business. as we'll
as in the professions we find more
exacting demands. It is reasonable to
predict that requirements IN all lines
will continue to be raised.
More than the usual number of Lib
by young people will be in colleges
and other schools this fall. A COLLEGE
education cannot insure wealth or dis
tinction anymore than q high school
training can guarantee good position
but to the right kind of person it
means wider opportunities and bet
ter chance TO success. Education is a
gate to a field that is closed to the
less fortunate oE~those who neglect
their schooling. We seldom hear older
people complain of having too much
school training; on the other hand,
we hear expressions of regret every
dav from those who wish that they
could have had more.
