Y Carloads in Past Ten Days

The rejuveaating spirit that has beer
injecting new life into the benumbec
body Of national business for the pasi
few weeks has very evidently reached
Libby. That is the conclusion one easily
reaches after talking with E. N. Alley
president and general manager of The
Zonolite Company.
During the past week or 10 days
our business has shown most ru<nark-
able increase said Mr.. Alley The
other day we received one order that
will call for 20 carloads of our crude
product to go to one Of the cnqpenies
that are distributing Zonolite through
out the East. Ten of these carloads will
go to one concern, nationally known
manufacturing company. The oti1er TIN

MOOSE MAY HOLD STATE
CONVENTION HERE In 1886

Bert Withee and Gleason Pitcher, who
were delegates to the Moose state con-
vention held at Havre recently, reported
to the Libby lodge at their meeting
Monday night, that the lodge had asked
to hold its state convention in Libby
in 1886. This will undoubtedly be done
if proper arrangements can be made,
and there is little doubt but what that
can be done
A few years ago the Moose held
their convention in Whitefish and at
that time SO many of the delegates be-
came enamoured of this section of the
state that they desire to get into the
mountains for a brief visit again.

Libby Schools
To Open On
September 5
Supt. Wood Gives Informa-
ton Regarding Enrolment
Requirements.
TWENTY SIX IN
FACULTY ROSTER

The Libby schools will open for the
regular year on the first Tuesday in
September. The preceding Saturday and
Monday will be reserved for registra-
ton In the high school Since the course
Is somewhat changed, 1t Is highly i'm
portant that high school students make
an advance enrolment so that the size
! u the classes may be determined and
the schedule announced for the first
day. It has always been matter of
some satisfaction for the local schools
to put in full time on the opening day
and to do this an advance registration
is necessary. Pupils who have already
registered will not be required to 70
over this detail again unless they with
to change their subjects. l.
Id order to meet the demands of a
reduced budget, one teacher has been
dropped from the high school faculty.
Two subjects, manual training and
home economics. will not be offered.
Since relatively smaller number of
students take these courses the over
head is greater than in such courses as
English or mathematics and they were
the first to be dropped. Both of the
dropped subjects have been popular
with the first year students and it is
hoped that they may be reinstated when
conditions improve
The beginners IN the first grade will
meet in the high school gymnasium at
8 o'clock as formerly. Teachers will be
there to meet them and to get them
properly enrolled Parents are invited
to come with the pupils as the first day
is an important time for the beginner
to become adjusted and the first i'm
.pressions often determine the pupils
progress during the year. The board
regulation as to age Is the same; child
should be six by January first in order
to be enrolled "A survey zof~ths pupils
who have had to repeat the first grade
shows that fully two-thirds of them
were pupils who had not reached their
sixth birthday at the time of their en-
rollment. It is better to start at six and
half than five and half.
The high school course Of study and
tthe faculty for the two schools is given
below:
Freshman-English', Algebra, Social
Science, Latin, Business Training.
Sophomore English, Geometry,
World History, Biology, Latin.
Junior-English', Chemistry, Com
mercial, Argumentation-P Psychology,
Advanced Mathematics, Sociology
Economics, U. S. History Civics'.
Seniors-English', Alternate subjects
