SCHOOLS WILL OPEN MONDAY FOR THE YEAR
High Schools Will Be Run on the Double Session Plan Hereafter.
TEACHERS ARE ASSIGNED
Tuitions of Non-Resident Pupils Must Be Paid Promptly.
The city schools will open for the year next Monday morning and with the new school year there will be some important changes in connection with school work. One of these affects the high schools, especially, as the one session system which has been used for years in this city will give way to two daily sessions, Superintendent Gause believing that pupils will do much more effective work under this plan.
As many of the pupils at the high schools live too far from the school buildings to go home at noon, provision will be made for supervision of the school buildings during the noon hour and the pupils who care to do so can carry lunches to school. On the east side, also, arrangements have been made with a man living near by to furnish warm lunches to the children at a very low cost.
Practically all of the school buildings have been redecorated and will present a brighter appearance to the pupils and teachers.
It had been planned to hold a city teachers’ institute the last two days of this week, but because of the golden jubilee this plan was abandoned and instead there will be but half day sessions at the schools on Monday and Tuesday and general teachers’ meetings will be held at the Eastern high school on the afternoons of those days.

Enforce Payment of Tuition.
Under the state law township school districts under certain circumstances are obliged to pay the tuition of pupils from their districts who attend the city schools. Many pupils take advantage of this, especially those desiring to attend the high school. The board has found the township school officers, in many instances, very slow to pay up, and last night a resolution was adopted instructing principals to refuse attendance certificates to any non-resident pupils whose tuition for the semester remains unpaid at the end of the second month and to suspend the pupils.
