NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Th<; public schools will open on
September 12. Tonkawa has g ro w n
much since last year and we are ex-
pecting the largest enrollment in
the history of the school. We have
all reasons to believe that the enroll-
ment will exceed that of last year by
one hundred. Until wo can get in-
to the new building we will be much
crowded; we will move into the new
quarters, possibly, some time in
February. The contract will be let
in a few days and before another
month we shall see the work begin
When once the work has begun it
will be rushed to completion with
all possible speed.
The assignment of teachers is as
follows:
Primary—Ethel Barnhill
Primary Ceeile Procter
Second Grade—Edith Hill
Third Grade—Belle Dyers
Fourth Grade—Emma McClellan
Fifth Grade—Gwendolen Orr
Sixth Grade—Pearl Smith
Seventh Grade — Lulu Gregory
Eighth Grade—C. E. Tope
Music and Art Maude Garnett
Substitute — Unassigned
It is now time that both teachers
and pupils were preparing them-
selves for a good hard year's work.
V acations should be ended, cloth-
ing prepared, and books purchased.
You will be able to buy some old
books that were used last vear, and
you should see to that matter as soon
as possible. Get them from your
neighbor. Do not wait until school
begins before you buy the books
that you know you will need. The
book lists are printed and you can
get one any day you call at the
otlice. You will lind a list of them
in the papers this week ; cut it out
and save it for your purchase. As
tho U. P. S. begins on tlie same day
as we, you will tind it greatly to
your advantage as well as the book
dealer,8 to purchase all the books
you will need the week before school
begins.
All pupils who did not attend our
schools last year must produce a
promotion certificate from their last
year s teacher. Those who can not
present a certificate will be exam-
ined on tho dates as announced in
this article. Those who desire ex-
amination for advanced standing
will also take these examinations.
These examinations will be as ditli-
cult as those used in the finals last
spring and only those who have
done some good hard study this
summer need ex poet to pass them.
We take occasion to inform you of
this so you will not bo laboring un-
der a false impression. Tho child
that does good hard work in school
is always successful; those who fail
have no ouetoblamobut themselves.
Regular class work will begin on
tho first day of school this year. All
pupils will be enrolled on Saturday
before kcIiixiI begins and in this way
we will not be losing half of tho time
Monday classifying the pupils. The
teachers will all beat their rooms
on Saturday Sept. 10 to enroll those
who will enter on Monday of the
next week. Como to the building
on Saturday morning at nineo'clock
and get your assignments of the
lessons, grades in which you will
outer, and the books you will need.
Those who can not do this and can
not furnisli their teachers with as-
signments on Monday will havo to
wait until Tuesday to enter. We
will not have the timo on Monday
to nmko assignments.
A new course of study lias been
prepared thin year and we have
tried to make it conform to the
nee Is of our school. It contains all
the latest idt-ns that are in use In
such cities ns Oklahoma City, Tope-
ka, Cblcngo and New York.
We have n special teacher in Art
this year and we Intend to
the daily program and this will al-
so will be an important feature of
our work. We did some tine work
in music last year under the super-
vision of Miss Garnett and she lias
spent the summer in one of the
best schools of the United States in
order that she might enable herself
to give us the best to be had any
where. We only taught music
throe days last year while this year
it will be required every day.
This will make our course tho best
in the state.
All those to be examined for en-
trance into the second, third and
fourth grades may appear at nine
o’clock Thursday Sept. 8.
All those to bo examined for en-
trance into the fifth, sixth, seventh

BILLINGS NEWS TELLS OF WORK BE-
ING DONE BY 0SAG6 WESTERN
The grading outfit that has
been camped in town for severa
weeks past pulled up stakes Mon
day morning, drove to the Inksip
farm where they again pitched
their tents and made permanent
camp and were ready to make
the dirt fly on the Osage and
Western Railway. They were
given orders to commence grad
ing yesterday and at one o’clock
the whole outfit pitched into the
task on the farm of Mrs. James
Young almost a half mile north of
the Rock Island Grade on the J.
C. Noonan farm.
We are informed that the good
work started will be pushed as
fast as man and team can do it
until the Santa Fe is reached any-
way.
The committee that was select-
ed to secure the right-of-way for
this road are now ready to re-
ceive the money donated and ask
all that subscribed to come in at
once and pay their respective
amouuts. They have not enough
unds subscribed to pay for all of
it and of course would not turn
down the smallest or largest do-
nations, but solicit all who have
not given to come forward with a
little.
