llules governing the use of books in
School District No 1 of Cherry county
1 The text books used in the
schools are the property of the school
district and are loaned temporarily to
the pupils Eeasonable care of such
books- is demanded by the Board and
unlessuch is given the pupils
shall be denied the privilege of using
them
2 Thebooks shall be under the
care of the- Principal primarily
After the distribution- of boqk to the
different rooms the teachers in those
rooma shall be held responsible for
their reasonable care and shall keep a
register of all book loaned to ptvpjjs
in- tbsis respective rooms The teach
ers shall inspect the books every few
days aad report their condition to the
Principal onpe intwo weeks who shall
fipin timfi tp tinjp report to the Board
as requested
3 In case of loss of any books or
unnecessary damage of books the
pupils losing or so damaging shah be
denied the f intheiiuB of the districts
books until the parent or guardian
shall have made good the loss or dam
age which shall be assessed by the
director
4 Marking or writing therein shall
be considered as unnecessary damage
and the pupil so doing shall be denied
the further use of same
The above rules were flagrantly
abused by a number of pupils last

property of the district is to see that
the rules are strictly enforced- Par
ents will please instruct their children
to take special care of theiv books and
thus avoid- purchasing same
