TWO NEW TEACHERS ON STAFF;
MISS MILDRED ANDERSON
AND NELLIE WILLIAMS
School bells will ring again In White
Bluffs Monday, September II. The term
begins two weeks later than last year
due to the fact that many students
have been needed at home as late in
the fall as possible to help with the
fruit harvest and other work. This
means that school will be continued
later than usual next spring to make
up for the days lost, and to give more
DAYS on which the full number OF
pupils enrolled will attend. AS money
coming to this district from the state
is based on the actual number OF pupils
attending school each day, this Will
aid in increasing the amount coming
to the White Bluffs school district.
"There has never been so great
need as now for each pupil enrolling
on the first day and maintaining
regular attendance from then on
throughout the year," @. M. Nelson,
SUPERINTENDENT, says. "FIigh school stu
dents who still find it impossible to
enter school permanently on September
IL are asked not to come until they
can maintain steady attendance.
This is a variation of the practice
made in the past two years. 1t Is al
most necessary for student who stays
out several weeks at the beginning OF
each wear to take five years to finish
high school, instead Of the four usually
required. School authorities cannot rec
ommend that student who loses near
w third of semester should be
given the same credit per half year as
a student who attends a full semester
in regular attendance. Consequently
they are frequently asked to carry one
subject less than the regular pupils.
It might be added that students en-
tering late this year may have to run
the risk of shortage OF books and seat
ing space for awhile when they dc
enter, as those entering first will have
first consideration" z
There have been two changes made
in the teaching staff Of last year. Miss
Mildred Anderson of Seattle will take
the position formerly held by Mrs
Miriam Nelson in the high school. ano
will teach Commercial and Socia!
Science subjects. Miss Nellie Williams
of Prosser will take the place vacatee
by Miss Julia Marsh and will teach
the third and fourth grades. Othe1
teachers in the grade school are: Mrs
Alice Moede, first and second grades
Norman Janney, fifth and sixth grades
and Robert Carboneau, seventh ant
eighth grades. In the high school, mis-
Duyall will handle English and Frencl
as previously, and Supt. Nelson VII
handle the Science and Mathematic
subjects.
"The repeated cuts made in tn
school budget for the coming year, du
To the effects Of the 40-mill limi
makes it necessary to again charge
rental fee for text books loaned
the pupils of the district" supt. Ne
son says. "This fee will be fifty cent
for each grade school pupil and or
dollar for each high school pupil,
be paid upon entrance. This money WI
be used to purchase sufficient tex
books so that each pupil may hay
complete set for his subjects as II
as possible. Many old, WORKOUT bool
had to be replaced and some new Sc
had to be added for both high scho
and grade school this year. Paren
should personally make arrangement
with me if payment cannot be mat
on the first day o1 school, as books w
be issued to only those who have pa
or have had arrangements made f
paying"
Some supplies will be sold again
the school buildings. Note book fill
paper and penmanship paper will
sold at cost at the rate of go shee
for five cents, or a ream Of 500 shee
for forty cents. Newsprint paper us
for scratch and tipping will be SC
at the rate of 100 sheets for five cen
or a ream for twenty cents. Such ite1
as pencils, ink, eraSers, pound not
books ETC., will not be carried by t
school.
"Those high schol students TAXI
the Physics course will be asked
purchase laboratory workbook CO!
ing approximately eighty cents" \
Nelson said. "This workbook is SINH
to the bookkeeping sets purchased
students taking that course, and is
addition to the book rental fee me
toned above. The student in Phys
will be entitled to keep this book
the end of the year. Juniors and s
niors planning on taking Typewritl
will be required to furnish their o
typewriter as the school Is not equipI
to furnish them to students as ma
high school do. Early arrangeme
