sion until noon. The first day will be
given over to classification, group
ing, and placement after which
pupils will receive instructions rela
tive to fees, schedules, regulations,
and other matters pertinent to the
opening of school. Bocdcs will be dis
tributed the first day in the elemen
tary school, but will not he distribu
ted in the high school until the pay
ment of the state rental fee. Regu
lar classroom work will begin in all
grades the second day of school.
Grouping —
The grouping of elementary pupils
will continue on the basis of ability
grouping and will be essentially the
same as last year with the exception
of changes to equalize the teacher
load where necessary. All elementary
pupils are requested to report to the
rooms in which they were last year
and they will be advised from there
where to report. Begnnere are being
requested to report to the auditorium
for the first 30 minutes until last
years first grade has been sent up
and then first graders may enter
either-first grade they choose; how
ever, at the end of the day the roll
of all first graders will be alphabetiz
ed and then divided accordingly in
to the two sections. High school
pupils will also be grouped according
to schedule ajid subjects and they are
requested to report to same room as
last year.
Fees
The state and county furnishes the
major equipment and certain sup
plies, but the amount is not sufficient
for a well rounded program; there
fore, schools must supplement same
by charging certain fees. The ele
mentary fees will remain the same as
last year which is $4.00 for grades
one through eight. This fee includes
$1.00 supply fee, $1.00 visual aid fee,"
50 cents entertainment fee, and 50
cents for supplementary reader
book fee. The extra $1.00 is for in
surance which covers the child from
the time he leaves home until he re
turns. All fees are used to-supple
ment the items needed to make for a
more well rounded and balanced pro
gram. The fees in the high school
are the same with certain excep
tions. The high school fee is $3.00 of
which $1.00 is visual aid fee, 50c is
library fee, and 50c is entertainment
fee, and $1.00 is insurance fee. In
addition there is a $1.00 fee for those i
taking science courses, $2.50 fee for1
those taking vocational agricultural
and shop, $2.50 fee for those taking
vocational home economics. The state
rental fee on high school basal books
has been raised from $3.00 to $3.60
due to increased cost of publishing,
etc. There will be a sharp decrease
in commercial fees this year. Here
tofore, there has been a $13.00 fee
for shorthand, Bookkeeping, and typ
ing; however, the school officials
have now arranged so that there will
be no charge for shorthand and book
keeping and only a $5.00 charge for
typewriting which will be to take
care of repairs and replacements of
the typewriters.
Insurance
The Bchool officials urge every
parent to insure their children
against injuries, resulting from acci
dents. The policy, this yea* be
with the North America Assurance
Society and will cover accidents from
the time the child leaves home unti!
his return in the afternoon with the
exception of —football and soda1
events. The school itself wfli insure
the football players and there will be
no way to eover social events such as;
dances, wester roasts, eta. Principal
Bundy states that he thiidcs it is the
best insurance for the cheapest cover
age that can be sought. lje reporter
