Figures compiled from records made ly students in the Pendleton high school during past years show that an early start in the school year and reg ular attendance are the two chief necessities for students to make maxi mum grades. Jn many cases failures, or low grades, are easily traced to a late start In the. school term and irreg ular attendance, Supt. U. E. Inlow said this morning. Guided by the information furnished tiy these f'guros, tvery effort will be romptness in starting the work on t'mc this year. Sometimes lateness of harvest has caused some of the older hoys to lose time, but owing to the fact that the wheat harvest is already well on the way toward completion, it is thought that there will be no trou ble from this source this year. Plans are already being 'made for tho opening of school this year which will start ott Tuesday, September 6, Just four weeks from today. The usual summer improvements have been made, and the coming of September will find the buildings in good condition. The three play grounds surrounding the schools have been given n coating of cinders, gravel i and sand, and th's material has been rolled, so it is thought that muddy yards will not prevail during the win ter mouths. These improvements which also include a thorough clean ing of desks, and where needed, re surfacing, are expected to be complet ed by the middle of AuKiist. After this time, the janitors will take charge of their respective buildings and give the"i the fii'shln? touches in the way of thorough renovations. , An additional room is being fitted up at the Field school where primary overflow will be cared for. The corps of teachers fco take charge of the work th's year will number 46. Practically all of them are experienc ed, and with a very few exceptions, they are normal or college and Univer sity graduates. More than half of them have done special work during the summer.
