AID DISTRICT SCHOOLS
State VIII Give Them Fifty Dol
lars a Year.
Those Coming Under Classification of
First Class Only Ones Aided
sc in Grant County.

SO IN Grant County.
The most important school law
passed at the last session of the leg
islature is that which entities
country schools of the first class to
special aid of fifty dollars annually
for three years. Rural schools of the
first class, in addition to maintain
ing an efficient teacher and holding
school eight months during the
year, are required to have the
following supplies and equipment:
supplementary readers, dictionaries,
dictionary holder, maps, globe, !
blackboard, proper heating and VEN
tllation, curtains fastened on spring
rollers, and card case for catalog-
ing the school library books.
Perhaps nothing foretells bright
future for our district schools
better than the enactment of this
law. School boards throughout
Grant Co are making efforts to
maintain schools of the first class
and it will not be long before our
rural schools will have an equip
ment of which they may be proud.
The day has passed when a few
feet of blackboard in the front of
the roomY badly whitfield pine
benches. a smoky stove in one
corner and the ever present water
bucket IN the other, with one or
two maps comprise the major part
of the country school equipment.
The new district schooI, besides be-
ing we'll lighted, substantial struc-
ture, will have modern supplies and
and the heating and ventilation will
be as nearly ideal as possible.
This last improvement will have
far reaching results. With sensibly
equipped heating plants, conditions
for good work by botht teachers and
pupils will prevail, and there will
come new era indistrict school de-
velopment Many boy or girl will
have the way paved for better OPP
portunities for future success in life
through the enactment of this piece
of legislation.
County Superintendent BrOckert
has done much, during the short
time he has been in Office, to en-
courage progressiveness in rural
schools. Having been country
school teacher himself he fully ap-
preciates their needs and knows
how to assist school boards through
out the country in making good.
