"Bring pencil, lfi holder, tablet and drawing mater ial ns directed by teacher. In the admo nition to the students of all the grades lit the city schools, first to eighth Inclusive, as a preliminary-to the open ing of the first semester of the annual session, on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Hereto fore the schools have begun on the; first Monday in September, regardless.' oi the Labor holiday, but tills epoch has come to be regarded in the light of a celebration on a national status, con sequently it will not be ignored in the light of giving those so disposed an . opportunity to celebrate. In the course j of study comprehensive classifications have been published, Including A and' B. subdivisions in the entire eight' grades. Superintendent Briscoe, reinforced by a corps of forty teachers, is endeav oring to have all details thoroughly perfected' by the opening day., and to that end the attention of parents,' teachers and pupils is called to the fol lowing suggestions, which by the way aro not merely optional but required: Any grade or high school pupils wishing to remove a failure in any sub ject, may tako examination at the oeuiui;' iiigu uuuuui uuuuiog rnuuy morning, September 1, 1922. ' All high school pupils who have taken BUbjectg in a non-standard high school should. tak'e examinations at this Ome. for the state department of edu cation 'requires this to be done before credit for such work may be accepted by standard high schools. . The division line between Junior high school and the Hawthorne school will be Pioneer avenue. All children from grades one to six inclusive, living oil the east side of Pioneer avenue, will go to Hawthorne school.

A few days missed at the beginning of a term may retard a child a whole semes ter, and put all at a disadvantage when working conditions should be at their " best, f . . y . ( Beginners who wllt ibe six years old on or before September 30, 1922, should enter school at the beginning of the fall term, but the first B grade will not accept, any children who will not be of the required age, and none of them after Monday,. September IS, 1922. i As Is customary during vacation time caretakers of the buildings and grounds have been overseeing various Improvements Ini alid about their re spective grounds' aqd buildings. The high school assembly and main halls hare received a new coat of kalsoinlne, and the roof of the Hawthorne building has been given ' a new ' covering of paint, while many of the. desks in the olass rooms have been revarnished. . '.' POTents are further reminded that the phonetic system, which is taught to beginners now, is essentially differ ent from the system taught years ago, and. only the instructor is able to give the child the right start with this sys tem. . ' It might not be .amiss; to state, in connection with the foregoing instruc tions and outline of studies, that the local superintendent speaks very fa vorably of the Towner-8terling educa tional bill, which has for several years liast been so zealously pigeon-holed among congressional archives, empha sizing the assertion that the provisions of the measure aim to place our edu catlonal system, already the best in the world, on a still firmer basis thru national support as supplementing etate enactments. In strengthening his position, as favoring this bill, the superintendent quotes an opinion from a noted central western educator as follows: "'No political, sectional, racial oi religious considerations were 1n the minds of the sponsors of the bill, nor can any such consideration honestly be found within 'or behind the bill as it now stands. . The measure Itself is its own best justification and defense." SEATTLE DENTIST Scene from . "School I Days" at the Page SEATTLE, Aug. 30. Dr.. John K.
