Richland Center Observer; At
the annual school meeting held on
Monday evening Of last week, X W.
Eastland was elected district clerk.
The treasurcr's report shows an
amount Of 800 now on hand, and
ST. 600 was voted to be raised for the
ensuing year. The question Of free
text books was brought before the
meeting and carried by large major
ity. This we think, is good thing
in many respects. The district buys
the books and nj the end Of the year
should q scholar wish to keep any
book. they may do SO by paying the
cost price. Also, no scholar when
having finished the course, will be
obliged to have a lot OF useless books
on their hands. The committee ap-
pointed TO settle with the school
board were Mrs II. NJ Ludwig. NJ
Murphy and & l.. Miner. The school
board was also given the power to hire
teachers at any time during the
spring and not wait until after the
annual meeting rs heretofore. This
is good move as it Will give the
board better opportunity TO secure
the most proficient teachers.
