ALL IN READINESS FOR OPENING OF ROSEBURG SCHOOLS MONDAY SEPT. 1 2 Indications point to One of Most Promising Terms In History of City Officials Planning for Many New Activities to , Benefit School and City Everything Is n road in ass for the opening of the city school which start the year's work no t" Monday, September 12. Indications arc that the enrolluinut will be tr.uch larger than ever jef-rl and tbe prospects point to a very successful year. The equipment has been put in first class condition and the buildings have been repaired and Improvements made so that they are In the very best shape for the opening day. A meeting of the teachers was held at the high school building this morning. This meeting was called by City Superintendent M. 3. Hamra for the purpose of Instructing the teachers i n regard to the rules and regulations of the school. For the first time the Roseburg schools have a booklet containing all the rules affecting the officials, teachers and employes of the dis trict. Superintendent Hamm has compiled a booklet containing ap proximately 40 pages of data regard ing the Roseburg schools, together with the rules applying to tbe duties of each ot the officials, teachers, janitors .etc. The booklet also con tains the rules governing the pupils in both the grade and high schools so that in the future there will be a Arm foundation upon which to base th year's work. After explaining the general rules the meeting this morning was re solved into two conferences, one for the teachers of the high school and the other for tlra teachers ot the grade schools. Principal A. S. Tay lor had charge of the high school conference and Superintendent M. S. Hamm conducted the grade school conference. Here tbe teachers were brought together and given an op portunity to fully Inform themselves on the work in their separate grades and departments. The high school enrollment has been very satisfactory. It Is esti mated that 75 or 80 per cent ot the pupils who will attend school during the coming term have signed up in the preliminary enrollment. At the present time the list shows 94 fresh men, 82 sophomores, 60 juniors and 47 seniors, making a total of 283 pupils. It is expected that 4he full attendance will be at least 25 per cent greater than this figure, as many pupils were not In tbe city at the time the enrollment was made. Superintendent Hamm states that the teacher have found little diffi culty this year in securing rooms. Some of them have not yet found suitable places to board but nearly all bave good sleeping apartments. He desires to express his apprecia tion to the people of Roseburg for their response to the request for rooms. Several new features are to be In troduced Into the schools this year. Superintendent Hamm and Principal Taylor are working upon a plan for an employment agency to furnish work for high school boys. There are a large number of boys who are making at least a part of their ex penses by working before or after school hours and It Is the purpose of the school officials to find some way In which they can be placed In touch with suitable jobs. A plan Is being formulated and will be announced soon and the residents of Roseburg sre asked to co-operate in helping the students In finding work to help them through school. The high school this year . Is to take up football. It is the first time In the history of the schools thst an athletic coach has been employed, and It la the purpose of the school director! and officials to create If possible an enthusiasm and Interest In tbts popular sport If the school is to oe successful it win aemanu the co-operation of the merchants and townspeople In supporting t he team. Football requires a great deal of expense but at the same time It results In mora school enthusiasm, than any other sport. In other cities and towns the high school teams are given the full support of the real dents and are consequently enabled to make a good showing. All Indications promise a year ot great activity and school Interest and with the efficient corps of teachers . and officials there Is no doubt but that the Roseburg schools are enter ing upon one of the most promising years of their history.
