SCHOOL TO OPEN MONDjI
School opens Monday for the Fall
term. It will be good business for the
parents to get the books needed by
the children this week. This will
save time next week. We want to be
gin work the flrBt hour; to do this we
must have tools.
Last year too many pupils (ailed.
'TWs Is particularly true in the high
school. Nearly all the boys (ailed on
one or more studies. This is not nec
essary; it means that there was to*
little study. The school is not to
blame (or all of this. The teacher can
not regulate the lite ot the pupil al
ter he leaves school. Lessons may be
assigned (or study at home, but the
teacher Is powerless to enforce this
study. When your boy tells you he
has time In school to do all of the
study necessary to get along with
high school classes, he is probably de
ceiving himself and yon. The Lord
duknot make many boys of this sort
and very (ew of them live in Louis
burg. To do a satisfactory Job of
high school work there should be at
least two hours of study out of school,
either in the afternoon or evening.
This leaves ample time (or recreation,
but not much for high class, gilt-edge.
1 lue-rihbon leafing. Too many of our
beys are authorities on the batting
averages of the blfc league players; the
knockout* ot the prise fighters, the
merits of the movie stars, but they
know almost nothltlg about the studies
necessary to get through high school
and into college. While I am writing
this too many of them are sitting on
boves on our streets doing nothing. In
many instances they know how to do
nothing, and apparently they are sat
felled. Shall we continue to train our
boys for this sort of living? If the
school and the borne will co-operate
In the right way we can do more for
the fine fellows now in high school
than we have don* In the pest If you
leave the entire Job to the school, your
bey will probably be a worthy suc
cessor to the fellows who have failed
in their work in the past.

WHAT IS NECESSARY TO OKAOU
ATE. ?
There seems to be some misunder
standing among our patrons as to
what a student must do to graduate
from our high school. Do I have to
study this or that? No, you do not
have to study anything you do not
want to study; in fact it is likely you
will not do so even.if you enroll for
the class, Rut to get a certificate of
graduation from the high school you
must atudy and study to pass a credi
table examination of the following
subjects:
English lor four years. History for
two years and one year of this must
lie American History ."./Two years 6f
r.ne foreign language?either Latin or
Frenchy Two years of Algebra or
Geometry. For the remainder of your
course, you may select anything,, you
desire from our Menu, but before you
begin to pick your subjects it will be
well to decide what you expect to do
after you get out of high school. If
you thiak of going to college, you will
