The Rensselaer Graded Schools.

The teachers of the city schools will please be present at the teachers’ meeting on Saturday afternoon in the Superintendent’s office in the school building at 2 o’clock, to receive such instruction and direction as the needs of the school will demand. Do not fail to be present To Pabents: The schools will open on next Monday morning, Sept. 2nd, at 9 o’clock. Parents and guardians will please have their children or those committed to their care, ready to start to school the morning of the first day as tliose pupils Who desire the Roll of Honor must do. Attendance the first day and every day in the school year entitles the pupil to a Roll of Honor. Should any child have whooping cough, it is desirable that such child do not enter school until all dagger of contagion be past. Time lost on this account will not be counted against the child, and will not keep him from getting his Roll of Honor if perfect in attendance the remainder of the school year. Parents will please explain this to their children if the children are too small to read it for themselves. It is desired by all connected with the school that this school year be made the most prosperous of all t}ie years since the schools have been graded, and to fully accomplish this desire I earnestly solicit the aid of every patron of the school throughout the term. Your presence occasionally at school to stimulate children and teacher; a word of cheer to encourage both; yonr influence in behalf of the upbuilding of the school--all will be interpreted as a willingness to advance the noble cause of education and to aid us. Again let me say, please have your children ready for school by next Monday morning. Very respectfully yonr obedient servant, F. W. Rkubelt, Snpt of Schools.
