SCHOOL DAYS ARE HERE

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN TODAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR'S WORK

FULL CORPS OF TEACHERS REPORTS

Yesterday Given Over to Registration and Actual Work Begins Today-High
School Opens With 167 Pupils Enrolled

Vacation joys are over. At 9 o'clock this morning the teachers tanned and
rested from three month's vacation and the happy boys and girls with hair
combed down and faces shining from the recent application of soap and water
will again face each other in the school room for a nine months wrestle with
the same old problems that have confronted the children and their
instructors through the years since you were boys and girls.

Everything is in good shape for the year's work. Superintendent F. E. Palmer
has put in most of the summer planning and preparing for the winter's work
and as a consequence little remains to be done, but to begin. One hundred
and sixty-seven high school pupils have already enrolled and others are
expected to report for registration tomorrow. The full corps of teachers
elected is on hand and ready for work. There are several new names on the
list, but all come highly recommended and the schools will no doubt maintain
the excellent record made last year for efficient instruction.

A meeting of the teachers was called for yesterday afternoon at which the
plans for next year were outlined by the superintendent.
