The committeemen have been asked
to notify the teachers or the opening
date and to get things In readiness for
the same. The teachers have been
asked to be In the schoo* community
several days before the opening of
school . Thus the teachers with the
help of the committeemen will revise
the census, get the school house and
grounds In order, give to each child
the list of books he will need. In oth
er words everything win be In readi
ness for a real day of school on the

opens will do away with much confus
ion and loss of time that w* so often
have the first week of school . It
cost just as much to run the school

therefore hoping to begin real serious
work on the opening day.
