HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Examin ations have been held in the
different subjects the past week.
The teachers of the public schools
were entertained at the home of Prot.
Tonning last Saturday evening.
A teachers meeting was held Mon
day evening in the High school room.
In reporting the Sophomore class
meeting last week we forgot to note
that they decided on beige and blue as
their class colors.
Two debating teams have now been
organized and debate is promised in
the near future. The affirmative ar
gument of the question "resolved that
immigration should be restricted to
a minimum" will be presented by
Wallace Martin, Hannah Redy, Ru-
dolph Peterson and Harper Lacey.
The negative will be presented by Vic
tor Knutson, Bessy e Lacey, Constance
Larson and Harrison Sherwood. The
date has not been definitely decided
upon as yet. Literature bearing up
on the question has been sent for but
1t has not yet arrived.
If the teachers decide to attend the
educational convention at Granite
Falls there will be no school on Fri
day. We do hope they will decide
(not) to 90.

STATE AID TO SCHOOLS
In This County Nineteen are
Found Entitled to Receive
State Aid.

County Superintendent Dobbyn has
received notice that the following ru-
raj and semi-graded schools in Kan
diyoh county will receive the state
aid granted to those schools which
have fulfilled certain requirements:
Rural districts "a, 33, 45, SO, 64, 65,
10, II, 70, 81, 88, 80, 80, SO, SO, 102;
semigraded, 26, at Spicer; 46, at Kan
diyohi and 93, at Pennock. Alto
gether, l6 rural and semi-graded
schools in this county received state
aid this year: Last year only 7 OF the
former and one of the latter received
state aid. This improvement is most
gratifying and is only another proof
of the efficiency of the superintendent
and the growing demand for better
schools among our people.
Last year the rural districts received
$108, and the semi-graded $240 each,
while this year the former secured $l20
and the latter $3.50 each. The total
amount of last years appropriation
for the county was 1896 as compared
with $2670 for this year.
To be entitled to special aid as a
rural school the law requires:
l.. That the school has been main
tanned for the full period of eigh.
months during the year.
2. That the teacher during the en-
tire term of school shall have held at
least q first grade certificate.
3. That the district has q suitable
school building, outhouses, library,
and such other apparatus as is neces.
sary for doing efficient work.
4. That the school provides for and
maintains system of ventilation.
Two years ago when Mr.. Dobbyr
took the Office but 8 schools for Kandi'
yohi county were entitled to aid. Fol
the year just closed there are J9 and
the next year it is estimated that there
will be at least %. AS all applica
tions made by the county were favor
ably considered Superintendent Dob
byn has just cause to feel much graft
fed with the results Of the past year.!
