ASHLAND SCHOOLS
READY TO OPEN
ASHLAND, Aug. 30. "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. All those liv
ing on the west side of the avenue will
go to the Junior high school.
patrons will help in a rapid and suc
cessful organization St the school term
by seeing that all children are in at
tendance at the opening of 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."

EXHIBITS AT FAIR
The impression has become current
in some quarters that a charge will be
made for entering exhibits at the Jack
son county fair. The board of direc
tors announces that no. such charge has
been contemplated and that all exhib
its entered from this county will, be
given adequate display room absolute
ly free of charge.
There is a nominal fee charged those
who wish to compete for prize money
in the automobile, motorcycle and
horse races but this fee is added to the
purse and does not go Into, the county
fair treasury. Every driver has the
chance of drawing down not only his
own fee but also the entry money of
his adversaries and also the purse put
up by the fair board which is a liberal
one in each event. -
