I will make jusl one answer 4o both.
I am glad your crops are looking so
well, corn especially. I guess the

your hi let's were the first mall
Hull I hail received since ahotll the

wanting to hear lioni you homefolks.
I had a pretty nice trip over. The
sea was pretty calm all the way, but
there was lots of seasickness, though
I was not sick any at all We were
first In Knglnml. That country is t er-
tainl.v pretty. Almost all the country
is in cultivation and everything is
fixed tip Just light. The roads, fences
farmhouses, villages and everything
seemed to lie put in just the right
place. Although we haven't seen much
of tills country, that which we are
stationed in, Is very sandy, sandier
than Hast Texas. We are stationed
near Bordeaux. You can take a map
ami see very near where I am al pre-
sent. It sure seems funny lo he out
and seo all sorts of people and can't
talk to any of them .Of course there
arc a few French people who can
spuak our langllsli language, but not
very many of them who can.

to hear from you.

Arrangements for the opening of
school on .Monday, September , have
been completed am) the teachers arts
now attending the County Insti-
tute which enlivened in tin- lloytl
High school on Monday, September -•
Many pupils from different pnrH of
the county will be in uttemlance tlnco
about JaO have or will be transferred
into the city for school purposes.
All pupils who have btVn transit r-
red into the city, yet retain their
residence outside of the city, siia.ll lit;
entitled to the following free tuition:
Below the High school, .| months.
In Hie High school 1-2 months.
Provided that all pupils living i't ^
the district known .in "The Out '
Petersburg District" shall be entitle.!
10 ,r> months ami I months free tui-
tion, respectively.
All transfer pupils nnd pay puplU
shall bo entitled to attend the school
of their choice, but when once imi-
trlculateil they will not tie permitted
to change schools without a good and
sufficient reason to the Kupciintim-
dent.
All pupils living in the city must
nttend the school in the district In
which they live. No transfers froi.r
one district to another will be made.
Many parents have requested or asked
for transfers but It would lie tvrong
for us to grant, that privilege to one
without granting It to tlier nude-
rlmllnr conditions.
It is our intention, now, to admit a
lew tinders at the beginning of
school, but reserve the right to ex- w
elude tiny or nil at any time that our ^
grades become crowded. All undere
must pay tuition during the entire
year at the rate of $2.00 per month In
rdvance. No variation can ho mmle
I'tom requirement.
We have sel apart Wednesday and
Thursday, September I untl 5, for the
classification of all students living
t iitside of tii.' i liv who have never
attended tic McKinney High -a iieoi.
On Sepiepibt i i ill students living in-
side of the city, who have nevor 1.1-
leinle I I lie t ligl, school, will pro/, -nt k
themselves for classification.
All pupils who know what rrnulert
thoy will be in and what books they
will use next year are requested to
purchase these hooks prior lo th©
lirst day of school so that they may
he enabled to avoid the usual rush at
the book store on the first day.
All leathers will be instructed to
practice (lie strictest economy In the
use of ull school supplies ami wo
earnestly risk the co-operation of all
the parents In assisting us to prevent
waste In the use of tabh ts, pencils,
etc
Any High school pupil desiring to
consult with the Superintendent about
their work for nexl year will find hint
in his office every day of next week. v^-
Some change lias been made In the '
manual training ami domestic selenco
departments for next year. Pupils de-
siring' to take either of these courses
should consul! the Superintendent
prior to the opening of school.
It Is the desire of the entire faculty
of the McKinney public school to
1 1 every n |iiiicmcnt. that will
serve to pit our public school sys-
tem upon a. higher plane of efficiency
and to that entl we earnestly n.sk for
the full ami complete co-operation of
all patrons ami friends. Wo especial-
ly desire that all pupils be required to
study at home from 2 to 3 hours ev-
ery school day and that as far an pos-
sible all running around during school
nights, lie suppressed. Hvery hoy ami
girl matriculated in our public school
above the second grade will have
"home slutly" assigned to them and If
It Is not done, lust so far has the pnr-
cnts and friends failed in giving un
their full co-operation. |^-t us all
strive to make the union between tlio
home ami school grow closer than
ever before.
