All pupils desiring the high school course should report on the first day of school and be prepared to give unbroken atten dance. It is important that every child of school age shall be present and enroll on Monday the first day of school. We urge that all chil dren be supplied with books and other equipment so there may be no hitch in their progress in learn ing. Let every child be in school every day.
