Show COUNTY SCHOOLS TO OPEN EARLY Monday, September 10th, Date Fixed by District Board for Majority to Begin Work. EXPECTED TO MEET GENERAL CONVENIENCE List of Teachers and Subjects Offered in the Various Schools Other Educational Matters. With the exception of the schools at : Sahara and Prout, all the schools of Iron county will begin work M'.ndy. September 10. In explanation of the early opening is given the condtiois ' last spring when work seemed much , more urgent than in the harvest time of last fall. It is the desire of those ! in charge of the schools to meet the needs for help in the fields as best they j can, but they do not feel justified in doing anything that will lessen the ' educational opportunities of the children. child-ren. After careful discussion by the School Board, and after making many inquiries concerning the time when boys are most needed for home work, they have decided to open school early. Should the crops to be harvested later in the fall demand the help of the young people in any of the communities, communi-ties, efforts will be made to organize that harvesting so that all may be employed and the upper grades will close for a short period. The school authorities will make arrangements to make this work up and will close scnool in the spring somewhat earlier I than in the past. A Word to Parents "The c" nuren are the nation's second sec-ond li.u of defense." Patriotism calls you now to sacrifice the sons of the family on tl, niter of the national ideals. Yon art called on to produce more food and economize in every way possible, . ai the war may be won. After the war will come years of reconstruction. re-construction. Now we must have men fit to fight. Then we must have men and women fit to organize and rebuild. re-build. It is your sacred duty to all you hold dearest to not let your children child-ren grow up to meet the time of serv-' ice unfit to do the work. Schooling is necessay for ev. . child and you dare not, if yo- love y ,ur child, deny him now every preparation that is within his reach. Let your children attend school every day and let them have time to study. After school hours and on Saturdays they can help with other work. Our State Superintendent sends this message: "We must produce more food and waste less. There must be no idlers. I (A democracy should be made too hot for idlers.). We must tave on our clothing. All luxuries must be eliminated. elim-inated. But in the interest of the nation we dare not abridge the educational edu-cational oppoi -nities of the children in the elementary schools." From United States Commissioner Claxton comes a similar message: "If the far shoulu le long and severe, se-vere, there mill be great need in its later days for many youn-r men and women of scholastic knowledge, training, train-ing, and skill; and it may then be much more difficult than it is now to support our schools, to spare our children and youth from other service and to permit them to attend school. Theefore, no school should close its doors or shorten its term unnecessarily. unnecessar-ily. All young men and women in college should remain aid BM their time to the very best advantaye, except ex-cept such is may find it necessary to leave for immediate profitable employment employ-ment in some productive occupation or for the acceptance of some position posi-tion in some branch of the military service, which position can not be so well filled by anyone else. All child ren in the elementary schools and as nearly as possible all hi,'!i school pupils pu-pils should remain in school through the entire season." (Continued on page eight.)
