The election for school officers in
the - districts of Sully county, which
takes place on Saturday of next week,
Sept 18th. is one of considerable i'm
portance To us rs a people, for upon
the wise selection of the officers elected
at that time largely depends the wei
fare and upbuilding of our educational
interests in the future. Then let us
have IA good scnd-of by choosing men
of intelligence, and, if possible, these
who have had experience in school
matters heretofore. See that the entire
board consists of men who are not
afraid To put their shoulders To the
wheel and work for the noble cause of
education. We presume that in some
townships no election will be held, be-
cause of the fact that the great mass of
the settlers are young people without
families, but for various reasons we
think il would he desirable to elect of
ticers and organize the board Anoth-
er spring will bring many families to
our midst who have children to school
There will then he n board ready to
take hold and provide the means, with
out any vexatious delays or necessity
Of holding a special election for the
purpose Dakota is very liberal in her
school provisions, and we desire to see
Sully county placed in aposition to re
ccive the benefit of this libcrality.
