The Redwood Falls schools will

Tuesday, September 2, with the re-
gular days schedule being planned
for the day, according to an an
nouncement by Superintendent OF
Schools ]. H. Wichman. The faculty
will meet Monday of that week to
plan the work for the coming year.
Superintendent Wichman's announce
ment is as follows:
The hours for school will be slight
" changed for the coming year. The
school day for pupils in the grades
has been somewhat shorter than that
recommended by the state depart
ment Of education. In order to keep
school the required number Of hours
it was thought best to have the
shorter session in the afternoon.
Grade one will be in session from
8:45 a. m. to 11:30 a. m. and from
1:1O p. m. to 1925 p. m. Grade two
will be in session from 8:45 a. m. to-
HAS a. m. and from 1:10 p. m. to
$40 p. m. Grades three through six
will be in session from 8:45 q. m. to
1900 noon and from lilo p. m. to
3:55 p. m. In order to care for the
extra curricular work better the Jun
ior-Senior high schools will lengthen
their day twenty minutes and there
fore provide nine period day instead
of an eight period day. Many schools
followed this practice the past year
The first morning session will begin
at $3.50 a. m. and the afternoon ses-
sion will begin at lilo p. m.
All students who have never at
tended this school before are urged
to enroll on. Thursday, August 21st,
at the Lincoln school office between
the hours from 9 to II in the forenoon

cannot promise much attention to
parents and students if they will wait
to enroll when school opens. We can
give better service and attention to
enrolment Jif all will attend to this
on the above date. Pupils in the first
eight grades must present a report
card or a promotion certificate when
enrolling. Eighth grade graduates
must present the county superintend-
ent's certificate which must Indicate

Pupils will not be admitted to the
first grade unless they will be six
years of age on or before the first of
January 1881. A tuition charge Of
six dollars per month will be charged
for all students from outside the dis
