School Board Adopts Plan Of Six School Days a Week

The proposition of having six school days a week in the local schools has been acted upon favorably by the school board, and as a result the pupils will have to go to school on Saturdays for the first time in their lives. The order goes into effect at once and parents are urged to see that their children are in school next Saturday. The six day a week plan has been adopted by many other schools of the state and is giving satisfaction. The course was taken in order that the boys and girls might aid in the spring farm work. The schools will close for the term about the first week in May.
