THE SEMINOLE SENTINEL
VOL. 12, No, 30
SEMINOLE, GAINES COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1918
$1.00 Per Year
SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY,
SEPTEMBER SECOND
Owing to conditions it was
thought best not to issue a cata-
logue this year, so I take this
method of making a few an-
nouncements that I think worth
while. First of all, let me say
that 1 would like for every pa-
tron and citizen who is in any
way interested in the school and
the upbuilding of the town to be
present at the opening. Send
your children if you cannot pos-
sibly come, but I would much
prefer you would come and
bring them.
As to the classification, chil-
dren are urged to bring their
report cards with them, for they
will be placed where the record
shows them to have been at the
close of school last spring. They
will later be put up or back as
they show their ability by their
work.
Unders will be admitted this
year provided they are six years
old on the first of September.
But in order that they may be
handled to the best advantage
they will only be permitted to
enter the first week in Septem-
ber and the first week in Janu-
ary. This is done in order to
keep down the number of class-
es and thus take the teachers
time from the scholastics. Tui-
tion will be $1.00 per month,
payable in advance.
Parents are earnestly request-
ed to enter their children the
first day and to keep them iu
school for the entire nine
months. The child who comes
to school every day will almost
always make their grades and
do it easily.
There is no reason why Semi-
nole should not have the best
school in its history. We ought
to be able to improve all the
time, so come out next Monday
morning, September 2nd, and
we will all start together.

NEEDS OF Y. M. C. A.
GREATLY INCREASED
The government is planning
to put an army of three million
men in France by next June,
and have another million in train-
ing in this country. This means
that there will be a greater need
for1 men in the Y. M C. A. work
chan ever before.
The work is so varied that
men of almost every occupation
can do valuable work. The main
requirement is that the applicant
be a member of some evangelical
church, in addition to the ability
to do the work.
The Y. M. C. A. is in many
respects the backbone of the
army, and its work is so valu-
able that it has received official
recognition from the govern-
ment.
Every man who has any reason
to believe that he is adapted to
this line of service, should con-
sider this work seriously. For
further information write or see
Geo. W. Briggs, Recruiting
Agent, Lubbock', Texas.
