OFFICIAL PAPER OF PHILLIPS COUNTY
More Efficient School Boards


At the meeting of the County Sup
erintcndents' Association held at Gree
ley, Supt., ]. II. Shriber of Boulder ad-
vocated the holding of county and state
associations of school directors for the
purpose of increasing the efficiency of
these representatives of the people in
the conduct Of their offices and con
sequently the efficiency of the schools
entrusted to their care. Mr.. Shriber ad
vocates Legislation making it the duty
Of board members TO attend and per-
mtting per diem and expenses or mil
age.
The Greeley Tribune says Of the pap
er:
The effort to dignity the labors of
school boards and to increase their eff
ficiency is not only commendable but
entitled to universal support. F"
MIR. Shriber holds that the plan
would soon bring about closer relations
to the theo: ical working of the school
system, to the teaching force and to
the vital problems of the school. Pro-
gress has come in the main from pro-
fessional side and he hopes that the ad
ministrativc side may become more
quickly and heartily responsive to pro-
gressive ideas, more ready for effective
cooperation. He would put the tradition
al r,ragamert of the rural school to
tho tests set bv comparison with the
modorr w,vs hv means of these meet.

Wibaux Clippings

From the Pioneer, Sept. II. -
Wibaux was the scene of unusual
activity the fore part Of last week,
when Joe Schuster arrived with
large party of land seekers from
Illinois. There were not less than
thirty five gentlemen in the party,
which came out over the N. P. in
special car. This is undoubted-
ly the largest party Of land men to
visit this city at one time, from
the same community. Schuster
Bros. secured every available
automobile and livery rig in town
to convey the party over the land.
The visitors were very enthusi-
astic over the country around VII
haux and, we understand, number
of them invested in land south of
town.

from our news columns last week,
due to lack of space, was the mar
