APPLES ALL RIGHT.
First Reports of the Ruinat1on of
Apple Crop were Unfounded.

is stated by an investigator who
has been making some inquiry of
the apple trees that there will be a
good crop of apples this year. AT
first it was reported that we were to
face another failure and every one
was feeling badly about it. They
will be glad to learn that the first
reports were exaggerated and that
we are to have fairly good crop.
The frosts and freezes of the early
spring did not do the damage that
was expected. 1t may be that the
apples will tall later on but so far
things are looking good.

City School Problem

The school question is one
that is becoming Of vital import
ance to the people of Milbank,
and the conditions are such that
the time is about here when
something definite and practical
will have to be done. The
crowded condition of the school
rooms has compelled the adop-
ton Of the half day system in all
of the grades except one below
the high school. With the be-
gining Of the present school year
an attempt was made to have the
whole day system in all the de-
partments, but it was found i'm
possible to do so as a matter of
room, and also for the further
reason that the crowded condi-
tion of the schools was menace
to the health of the children.
The full-day system had to be
gradually aban doned as imprac-
ticable and dangerous from a
sanitary standpoint. Even this
half day system will afford but
temporary relief, as'the demands
70" school room will be constant.
| ly increasing in even d greater
proportion than the growth of
the city. Under the present as
sessment and levy, the latter
being up to the full limit allowed
by the law-2O mills-the funds
received into the school treasury
barely provide for the running
of the schools on the most econ
omical basis. With the natural
increase in attendance additional
room and one or more additional
teachers will soon have to be
provided, but with the present
resources of the school treasury
this will be an impossibility. We
believe the people of Milbank
have a desire to keep the city
schools on high standard, and
are willing to pay the necessary
cost Of thus maintaining them,
DuI undef Tue present cOnulllouS
this can not be accomplished,
and with the increase in the
school attendance the conditions
will grow worse instead of better.
Unless the present limit Of 20
mills is removed or the assess
ment of city property is brought
up to something of it's real value,
the maintenance of the schools
on anything like a respectable
basis, will be impossible. The
matter is a very serious and i'm
portant one for our people to
consider, and they will do we'll to
give it atten ton, as well as the
demand for greater school facili-
ties which will soon be forced
upon them for decisive action.
