FERGUS SCHOOLS
ARE PROSPEROUS
Annual Report of County Superin-
tendent MeyersiCk Shows Healthy
Condition of District Schools

The financial and statistical report of
the schools of Fergus county has just
been completed by Miss Ada Meyersick,
county superintendent of schools. The
report is an elaborate one and contains
many items of interest in regard to the
schools of this section of Montana
The financial report shows a healthy
condition of finances in every district
of the county where school is being
held. The total monies on hand for
school purposes amount to $4O,791.02.
The statistical report shows that the
census lists of 1906 contains the names
Of 3,012 children of school age, viz: 6 to
the preceding year. The total enroll
ment for the year ending August 81,
was 1870. This year this total will be
much in excess Of that of the preced-
ing year. The great difference between
the school census and the attendance
in school is due in part to the fact that
the attendance of 1870 is not for this
year but for the past twelve months,
while the school census is the report
ending on August lst last and it is on
y natural that the census report should
be larger than the attendance of the
year before. A second reason is that
many parts of the county are sparsely
settled and children are far removed
from school houses. Wherever possi-
BILE Fergus county people are not un-
their offspring and the children are
sent to school. A number of private
schools have also been established. Al.
together the percentabe Of attendance
is as large as could be expected and
illiteracy is reduced to minimum
In the Lewistown schools 573 were
enrolled during the past year and in
District No. l, which had the largest
attendance of any in the county, $50
attended the schools
The salary for male teachers in the
various districts was from a minimum
Of $50 to sl77.17. Female teachers se-
cured average monthly salaries of from
$50 to $50.
During the past year three new
school houses have been built in differ
ent parts of the county. Eight private
schools have been maintained by pro-
gressive patrons of education and 58
students have attended these private
schools In all the schools of the coun-
ty 10 teachers have been employed.
There are 2.222 books in the public
school and district school libraries of
the county.
The total valuo of al OF the school
buildings in the count is placed at
$SO,325 by Miss Meyersich in her annu-
al report. The list of buildings include
IL frame and two brick structures.
There are 81 log school houses in the
county, making a total of so school
houses in the county. OF this number
two brick buildings are located in Lew
istown, besides an elegant stone high
school building. Outside of Lewistown,
in this district. there are school build
ings at Rogers. Bear Paw, lille. Corbly,

At HIGH SCHOOL
Prof. SiIIOway Gave Lecture on Ro-
man Life last Friday Evening.
Scenes From HiaWathd.

A high class entertainment was given
| in the high school assembly room last
| Friday evening. The large room was
packed and an appreciative audience
| listened attentively to the lecture of
Prof Silloway and to the other num-
! bers on the program
After a few preliminary remarks by
Principal Crane of the high school, the
first number of the program, a vocal
solo by Miss Mary Campbell was rem
dered in a pleasing manner.
The lecture by Prof. Silloway on
"Old Roman Life and Customs" follow
ed and was we'll received by the large
audience present. The lecture was IL
| Illustrated by many fine stereopticon
views, showing life and manners in the
early centuries of the Christian era.
Some of the early legends clustered
briefly told in few well chosen words
and illustrated by beautiful views.
Among the striking scenes in Roman
life and history, the following were de-
picted and illustrated by Prof. Sillo-
way: The Story of Horatio, the Strug-
gle of the Patricians and Plebians,
Hanniblas' Vow of Eternal Hatred to
Rome, the Punic Wars, the Sensual and
Riotous Festivities of the Latin Tribes.
of
Galley, the Great Gladiatorial Combats,
the Circus Maximums, with a seating
capacity Of 275,O0O, and the Inhuman
Prosecutions of the Christians. Each OF
these pictures is a study in itself and
illustrates different aspects of Roman
character from the days when Rome
was aspiring to become the mistress OF
the world to those when she was in her
glory.
The lecture was highly instructive
and was given in Mr.. Sideways usual
clear, concise and logical style.
The latter half of the program con.
sisted of living scenes from the great
American classic, "Hiawatha." An ex-
temporaneous forest and stage had
been erected and all of the scenes were
in an Indian wigwam "in the valley by
the river in the bosom of the forest"
where Hiawatha was reared to man.

usual pleasing manner, and won the

light and darkness did not seem to en-
barrass her in the least
A piano duet was rendered by the
Misses Culver and Cook, who respond
ed to an encore. Prof. Crane, as the
last number of the evening, announced
an instrumental duet by Profs. Belden

which will aid in the study of pictures
