OPENfXG OF THE GRADED SCHOOl The fall term of the Graded Schoc will open on Monday, September St! and it is Important that all pupils b In school on the opening day. It i urged that all patrons try to arrang that the vacation visiting of the chll dren. be completed In time to ge them into school at the beginning Regular school work will begin o: the opening day and a child who I absent does not get an even start wit) the others in the class. Last year, as in every year, we ha too many failures; the school may b responsible for some of these, but to 4 the most part, the pupil and th home are to blame. Some homes d< not keep children in school regularly and do not try to have the children d< the work assigned by the teachers, j few pupils are so dull that it is ver; difficult for them to get along; a lar ger number of pupils do not itani t study; do Just as little as they can of course, such pupils usually fall. The Graded School is one of Louis burg's biggest enterprises; it takes i big sum of money to pay the expense and it. is the one means provided ti furnish training to the children tha is supposed to fit them for good citl zenshlp. We, this year, ask every pa tron to help us in every way to mak the school "go." The moral suppor of the patrons is the biggest facto in making the school a success.' Th Superintendent and the teachers ar compelled to do a fairly good Job, bn no one can compel the patrons to d< their part We want every patrol and friend of the school to Join th< Parent-Teachers Association. Thl organization has been functionlai well, but its work has Just begun. I can and will find a congenial Job fo every patron of the school. Ask an] parent who has been working wit! this organization, and you will fln( they liko it. Book lists will be ready, by Monday Aug. 29th, and books will be on sal* that week. Get a book list; look ovei s books you hare at home; get onlj such as you do not have-. ? Buy theet at any place that suits best, but pi east do not ask the school to sell on cred it; we positively dan not do so; w< have no one to keep books, bealdea we do not nave money to llflance ?

"Governor-Geueral Wood," he said, '17 year# ago-had a tumor which was removed by Dr. Cushlng (Dr. Harvey Cushtug). It was then found that the growth had involved the hone of the skull and a probable recurrence of the trouble was anticipated. For some time he had evidence of a return of his former lameness but owing to his nigh sense of duty "he was unwilling to leave his post in the Philippines eatH he felt that the situation there ja .titled a temporary absence." . =: Siagrai Wood was opsrmted on for hi rnia in Manila last January.
