Children attending the kindergarten and the first grade will be dismissed on Thursday and Friday at 10 o'clock in the morning and at two o'clock In the afternoon; on Monday, September the full sessions will begin. Rather than have parents bring their children to the kindergarten and first grade at the opening of school on Thursday morning, when the teachers are too busy to discuss questions with them, the teachers would arrorenlst very muoh If the parents would send the ohildren to school with other children and then at dismissal would ooms for ths children especially lo Thursday and Friday for then the teachers would hare more, time to talk with the oaremts and get from them the information they really need In order to understand the little newcomers. If, however, It is really necessary for the parent to bring the cJifld to school, Is hoped that the parent will leave the building promptly, just as If this was a normal part of the daily routine. The lingering parent In many eases causes not only her own child, but other children as well, to become emotionally disturbed: the children seem to feel, if the parent lingers, there must be some danger.

It ha been found over the years that children make a mors rapid adjust ment to the new conditions at school If the parents show by levy ing promptly that they have confidence In the teachers ability take care of their children.
