Gan WARD COUNTY
SCHOOL LANDS be SOLD?

Gan WARD COUNTY
SCHOOL LANDS Be SOLD?
There seems to be a question if
Ward county school lands may
be sold at all or not, on account
of the coal deposits beneath
them. County superintendent
Of Schools Warren has the mat
ter up with Land Commissioner
Hegge, and expects an answer
soon. Over in McHenry county
some land grafters caused circu-
lars to be posted, announcing
that the date OF the sale of the
public school lands had been
postponed, and consequently
most of the good buyers missed
the opportunity OF their lives.
The land sold at a very low
price, in consequence.
There were over $40 schools in
the county last year and over
500 teachers were employed dur
ing the year. The county super
intendent has been unable to get
acquainted with all OF the teach
ers on account OF the large num-
Der, and the constant changes.
Mr.. Warren has established a
new ruling with those who wish
to teach and who have no certi-
fcates. Hereafter no one will be
allowed to teach on permit,
who has not shown by a private
examination, that he isqualified.
This will bar a good MANY of
those who are unqualified from
teaching, even for a short period.
Over 1900 OF. the Sth grade
completion papers from the
county have been examined by
the county superintendent. Sew
eral applicants received diplo-
mas from all grades, while many
passed in certain branches.
The teachers association will
meet at Kenmare, May II.
Glenburr is advertising for
bids for a four room school
building. The specifications may
be seen at the superintendent
office.
Mohall will employ an expert
enced high school teacher and in
stall two years of the high school
work.
Consolidation OF schools is re-
ceiving much attention in many
districts. 1t is better to combine
the cost OF a number of small
buildings into one large. build
ing, and at the same time secure
better teachers and higher work
for the country pupils.
About seventy-five school
houses are in the course OF con-
struction in the county now.
White Earth school district
bonded for $4,000 and will erect
a modern school building. Don
nybrook district will consider
the consolidation question sooA.
A new modern school building
will be erected in the district.
Two Of the high school grades
will be adopted.
Bowbells will erect an $4,000
school building soon.
By the time the fall terms
open, there will be at least seven
graded schools in the county.
Two years ago, only Minot and
kenmare had graded schools.
Quite q contrast.
