HERALD HAS BIRTHDAY

With this issue, the Plenty
wood Herald enters its twenty
fourth year of continuous publica-
ton.
During those years we have always
enjoyed the friendship and patronage
of the farmers and business firms of
Sheridan county, and with each pass
ing year these links have been
strengthened, and the Herald is now
looked upon as an absolute %necessi-
ty.
There have been years when bus
mess depressions caused a consider
able falling off in some lines of bus
mess, but with the Herald this can
not be said. We have steadily forged
ahead. We face the coming year with
the calm conviction that our friends
and business associates will soon ov-
ercome the present business depress-
ion, and once again the wheels of
commerce will revolve as tho no in
terruption had ever occurred.
Last year we had planned on many
improvements in The Herald plant but

all North Central and University re-
quirements and is what is sometimes
called, the Core Curriculum. With the
additional room and facilities that
P%lentywood will have next year, vo-
cational work car gradually be intro
duced as the enrolment warrants.
One or two additional courses may be
added this fall if it seems advisable
after the enrolment is completed.
Early enrolment is greatly desired
because of the greater ease in getting
the work well organized and classes
running smoothly. 1t is strictly to
the advantage of the pupils them
selves as the first two weeks are the
most important in the entire year.
Starting later than that may cause
one to miss most of the explanatory
work and the fundamentals of the
Course so hat he is always in diff
Guilty.
Enrolment for the Elementary
Grades will take place at 8 in the
morning of the 14th at the various
grade buildings. There will be little
change in the assignment of grades
to the different buildings so that
those who have attended in Plenty
wood before should have no Difficult
ty in finding the same rooms as last
year, while the seventh will be in the
same building but in the West room.
In case the new High School building
is started, the first and second grade
buildings will be moved to a position
just west of where they are now.
Parents or older brothers or sisters
should accompany the first grade pu-
pills on the first day, if possible. For
the benefit of those who may have
moved to Plentywood during the
summer, it Nigh be advisable to men
ton that the third, fourth, and fifth
grades will occupy the frame building
to the west while the seventh and
eighth grades will occupy the build
ing acros the street to the south.
The Plentywood Schools had an ex-
cellent attendance record last year
and it is realized that the coopera-
ton Of the parents is highly respon-
sible for it. The school administration
appreciates this spirit of cooperation
and wishes to thank the parents for
it. The pupils surely do benefit from
regular and prompt attendance but
the school itself runs more smoothly
and the work is done much more eff
ficiently when the amount of extra
work due to absences and hardness is
kept at a minimum. Much time and
energy is taken from the rest of the
pupils whenever there is much abb
sence from a room or class. Failure
to make up work missed due to alb
sence is one Of the chief causes of a
pupil getting low marks or losing his
credits. A child should not attend
school when he is i'll and he will be
given every opportunity to make up
work without penalty of any kind
when he is necessarily detained at
home but it is essential that every
pupil attend every day possible with
out injury to his health.
