During that time 487 students have enrolled. More than 400 students were present the first week of school. Much credit for this splendid showing is due our students. Considerable time and effort was used last spring in an attempt to help the students to see the necessity of their reporting to school early this fall. This early enrollment will not oidy provide for a greater number of nays in school for each boy and girl, but will also reflect in additional funds for next year. Additional funds may be used to develop a stronger program for Chemawa. Let’s keep up the good work and every student plan to remain in school for the full term. By doing so every one is benefited, and we can more quickly begin to realize the kind of school program we all want. M yrthus W.
