terested IN school work should
visit the school at frequent inter
walls. 1t nor only awakens interest
but shows the teachers that their
work is being appreciated and in
cites them to increased effort.
X 0. Slette, a member Of the
school board, was making a visit
the school on Monday and a mother
of one OF the little ones was
a visitor in MISS Single.on's room.
Prof. Dale took charge OF the
Culbertcon schools four years ago
last October and is now about half
through his fifth year. Miss Faye
Otis now Mrs. Goettel, had opened
the school in September with II
pupils enrolled for the first month
which mad increased to 40 by
Christmas OF that year. Now
there are some 400 pupils enrolled
though only about IT'S are in re-
gular attendance each day.
The attendance by grades is as
follows: High School 20, Eighth
grade rS, seventh So, sixth I9. fifth
"a, fourth IL, third II, second 10,

The Culbertson School District
is now known as District No. II,
having recently been set off as a
separate school district.
The bonded Indebtedness OF
school District No. S, issued in
r9o3 for the purpose OF erecting
the Culbertson school house, we
understand has been transferred to
District No. ", which is perfectly
just as we have the school house.
Five thousand dollars of these
bonds were paid off last fal. with
the money received from taxes,
there being a 10 mill special
school tax levied las, year. This
leaves only $500 more bonds
to be paid, payable one each year
1t will not be necessary to have SO
large a school tax this year and
the taxes of our citizens will be
correspondingly lower.
In summing up we would say
that the Culbertson Public Schools
are now in splendid shape and the
school house handsomely and
economically equipped. New desks
a new library and a new iabora-
tory are some of the heavy ex-
penses incurred and paid for re-
Gently which will not have to be
incurred again for several wears.

CULBERTSON SCHOOLS
The High School and Graded Departments Are
Finely Equipped With Everything
Needed for School Work.

CulbertsoL has one OF the best
public school systems in the state
Of Montana, consisting OF the eight
grades as in all graded schools and
four grades in the High School
department, making twelve grades
in all.
The editor at the request ol
Prof Dale. Superintendent, visited
the shcool on Monday OF this week
and was much pleased with the
interest being taken by the teach
ers and pupils III their work.
The discipline in all departments
was excellent and the pupils were
all wide awake and alert, answer
ing quickly all questions asked in
regard to the lessons.
We started on our tour of inspec-
ton with the Superintendent's Of
flee, in which is located the large
school library and the High
School laboratory.
The library is encased in rev
sectional book cases, and consists
oil 500 new volumes ald about 20
old. There are many books Of
the latest and best books OF refer
ence, classics and works OF fiction
suitable for school children. These
will be issued TO the children free
OF charge; proper precautions be-
ing taken for keeping track OF the
books and -,r proper care.
The laboratory consists OF work.
ing models of steam and electric
engines; electric lights, electric
tester, etc. In this department.
the High School pupils are in-
structed in electricity, hydrosta-
tics, Mechanics. light, neat. sound
and magnetism.
At presen, the school is not
large enough for the employment
OF separate teacher for each
grade, SO the six teachers employed
divide the work among themselves
so as TO cover the whole twelve
grades.
Prof. Dale, besides superintend-
ing the work of the whole school,
takes an active part as teacher i'll
the High School, being assisted by
his daughter, Mss Lily Dale, the
latter also having some classes IN
the Eighth Grade.

The answers were prompt and

In another recitation room on

The same alert interest was mani
fest here.
Iu the large assembly hall Miss
Clara Larson, teacher in the Sew

ing a class in u. S. History, the
American Revolution being the
subject. The bright faces OF the
pupils showed their appreciation
OF her efforts.

RHODES BELIEVED IN GHOSTS
Empire Builder" a Surerstitious a:
 We'll as Untidy Man.

In his recently pub,ished book of down some "reminiscences of Cecil Rhodes, whom he knew to have been afraid of ghosts.
 At one time he shared a house in Adderley street, Cape Town, with two other men, and that house was haunt ed. The ghostly visitant tramped about at night, and so powerfully did he affect the nerves of his fellow lodgers that neither Rhodes nor the other two would ever sleep alone in he house. My informant has himself C cu. icd the house. and, without know ing it's reputation, was disturbed by footsteps in the night He complained to Rhodes next morning, and learned the fact that the empire builder was not proof against superstition. The mystery was never solved
 The traveller describes Rhodes as the worst dressed man he had ever seen. His old felt hat was battered and dirty his trousers bagged at he knees, and his coats at the pockets" He was "a firm believer in the power of the dollar, and had no false shame about his methods. remember once he said speaking of man who was notoriously upright Of course, you can't go and plank down bag of dol lars in front of him; he would kick you out; but there are ways!'"

Johnny on Baths.

Mrs. Phelrs-Stokes. the young and brilliant Socialist worker, recounted, at Socialist meeting in New York. her amusing experiences amongst slum children.
 On the subject of baths in winter she said:
 "I eXpostulated the other week with one of those mothers, who at the be- ginning of cold weather sew their lit tie ones up in fannels, freeing them with the return of spring. I persuaded this mother to bathe her children reg ularly. Then, recently, visited her again.
 "'Well,' I said, how do the winter baths go?'
 "'The children don't like it, ma am, said the mother. Johnny refused his bath positively yesterday >He said you could do as you liked, and he would do as he liked. You like to be cold and clean-he likes to be warm and dirty"

COUNTRY ABOUT TO ENJOY
PERIOD OF GREAT PROSPERITY

o. D Rasmussen, proprietor OF the
New York Racket stores here and at
Rock Springs, Wyoming, has return
ed from very successful FIVE weeks
trip through the market centers of
the east Most of his time. Mr. Ras-
mussen states. was spent In New
York. where he was buying goods for
his stores.
While in that city he was one of
the Interested spectators of the Hud-
son.Fulton celebration. which was wit
messed by almost a million and half
visitors In New York In addition TO
the people of that and adjoining cit
les. He stated to a representative
of this paper that he saw more people
during the celebration than he ever
expects to sec again at one time or
the celebration he said it was one of
the grandest events he had over wit
messed and with moro imposing sights
and scenes than one would sec at any
fair or exposition.
Speaking of the market conditions.
Mr.. Rasmussen said that the general
opinion in New York, Chicago and
other cities he visited is that the
country is going 10 enjoy five years o.
prosperity upon Whlch III is just De-
ginning Tho wholesale houses re-
port a scarcity OF goods and orders
enough to m nthem for many months
before they Will he filled He said
that many of the factories have dis
posed of their next spring stocks al
ready and are running their mills
night and day trying to get caught up
In their orders.
In almost every city and town hav-
ing factories and mills. there IS a
great demand for competent labor.
Men. women and children are finding
ready employment In all the big man
ufactories at wages that are far in eX-
cess of those that have been paid
heretofore.
Upon his return west Mr.. Rasmus-
sen stopped at Green Bay. Wis. TO
visit his old homo and relatives and
friends He said that he had most
enjoyable visit here. but greatly dis
liked being caught In terrific biz
zard in that town when he had only
light summer wearing apparel with
him. He said the storm which lasted
