P. Plunastoel said this week. The summer survey of rural pupils shows that between 200 and 275 will register at the op- ening of school or soon afterwards. A guess at the number of town pu- pils expected le about :116. There are nearly always a few country pupils who drop out after Grade 8, and do not go on to high school, This is a foot that is hard to believe in this day and age. Me, Phlmetcel remarked, however', there Would not be more than 5 or 6 in the entire school area. If they are tinder age and quit with- out entering high school, such pu- pils are not the responsibility of the high school attendance officer. It is the responsibility of the twps, Sooner or later the family allow- ance board may catch up with such cases, as family allowance cea8ee when a child quits school, Any family allowance payments made for the child out of 5011001 mast be paid back by the parents if de- tected. High School will re -open on Tuesday, Sept, 6th at 10 a.m. un- less the lagoon for sewage dtop0sal is not ready. A bulldozer and pow- er shovel are rushing that part of the contract this week. Great piles of earth surround the lagoon as It is scooped out in the field adjac- ent to the school yard, east of where the foundations are being laid f01' the new addition. If the (liepoeal system is not conuected up, school opening will be postponed, it is said. Prospects are that 8011001 will open on sched- ule, so students needn't have too high hopes of (t few extra bolielays. The lunch room and agricultural room have been redecorated during the 811111111er, and 1vil1 be used as classrooms until the addition is completed, which is expected to be between Christmas and New Year. A gas furnace has been install- ed in the school bum where agri- cultural classes will be held until the addition Is ready. As only boys take the Ag. course, the girls won't have to walk out to the barn in snowy or wet weather. Tile Staff under Principal Plum - steel is: le, R. Cosford, English; le. A.
