Education In North Dakota.

North Dakota "builded wiser
than she knew" when providing
for her educational system, Be-
ing one of the newer states it was
possible to profit by the expert
ence of the older states; what has
seemed good in other systems has
been adopted in ours, and what
has seemed not productive of
good results has been avoided.
The makers of the constitution,
believing that education tended
to promote the prosperity and
happiness of the people, provided
literally for all the Institutions of
higher learning and decreed that
the legislative assembly provide
"for the establishment and main
tenance of a system of public
schools, which shall be open to all
the children of the state and free
from sectarian control.
Such provision was made by the
first legislative assembly and each
succeeding assembly has seemed
to vie with the preceding one in
s.N. - .
providing for the needs and bet
terment of the public school
system:
The support of the local schools
is provided for by local tax; the
county tuition fund, and the state
tuition fund.
Last year the amount raised by
local tax was S1,3o4,572.8o; the
county tuition fund amounted to
S3o2, o5o.73, and the state tuition
fund to S356,246.o2. The latter
fund arises from the interest and
income derived from the sale and
rental of school lands, and from
fines and forfeitures arising from
district court business. The total
state and county tuition fund for
the year ending June 80, 1904,
amounted to S~658,3o5.75 or 1854
per capita. The total amount re-
ceiyed from all sources including
cash on hand for the public
schools for the year ending June
80, 1904, was s3,o45,63I.58.
North Dakota had at last report
3,4o5 schoolhouses, valued at 49,
75z252.56, including sites. The
number Of teachers employed was
1888, and the total number of
children of school age was 1882,

Attorney Charged With Forgery Sc
cures Freedom-Brother Is
Yet in Jail

Attorney A. Groves who was recent
iy, arrested on a charge of forgery, but
who is now held on charge of obtain
ing money under false pretences, was
yesterday released from custody on
a cash bail bond of $1,000.
When recently Justice Pierce in the
township court held Groves for trial
and fixed his bail at $4,000, he also
stipulated that if a cash bail was fur
nished he would reduce the amount to
$1,000.
Yesterday a certified check for $1,000,
signed by A. Brandenburg, Groves
brother-in-law, was presented to the
court and Groves was released.
Richard Groves. the accused attor-
ney's brother who was recently ar
rested in San Francisco on the charge
of forgery, is still in the
county Jail, being unable as yet to
furnish the required bond.
Groves has employed the services
of Attorney r. p. Dyer, and he feels
confident that the authorities will be
unable to make the charge hold.
The preliminary examination of the
attorney will take place before JUS
tice Pierce next week.
