CONTEST CASES AFFECTED.
Entryman Need Not Seow Grazing
Land Has Been Used.


La ,Grande-A decision of the Inter-
ior department which means the dis
missal of over 100 contest land cases
on the Umatilla Indian reservation has
been received at the local land office.
The decision was in the case of Dan
iel c. Bowman, and is reversal Of a
former ruling by the Interior depart
ment that an entryman, after showing
his land fit only for grazing purposes,
must also show that the land has
actually been used.
About 25 cases have been decided by
the local land office officials contrary to
the ruling of the department, and the
recent decision from the secretary of
the interior is a confirmation Of the
rulings of the local officials.

we consider the greater amonnt
of good received from the consoli
dated schools We find their is
much in favor of the latter.
At Latoon and Latham in Faulk
county modern three room build
ings were put up at cost of S2Ioo
each. This is not more than the
cost of three of the ordinary rural
school houses. The following is
a summary of the attendance of
the consolidated schools.
Bath school Brown Co. enroll
ment SO, average daily attendance
IS.
Lily school Day Co. enrolment
ia, average daily attendance 78.
Lafoon school Faulk Co. enroll
ment 81, average daily attendance

ment 38 average daily attendance
81.
Clear Lake school, Duel enroll
ment 288 average daily attendance
as.
All rural schools of Bon HON
me County, 2o32 daily attendance
1853.
1t will be seen from the above
facts that in the consolidated
schools the average attendance
was better than so per cent while
that of our own scattered schools
is little more than 60 per cent of
the enrolment.
These are scme of the advanta
ges of consolidated schools:
I. Very much better instruction.
2. A good thoro education for
the boys and girls right at home.
8. Much more regular attend
ance. No tardiness.
q. Pupils conveyed in warm
comfortable wagons instead of
walking thru slush snow and rain
and then sit thru the day with wet
feet and clothing.
5. No opportunity for lettering,
fighting and indecent language
along the road.
Next week We hope to be able
to print some letters from school
officers and patrons of consolidat-
ed schools of the state regarding
the satisfaction t:1ey are receiving
from them.

Teachers regular examination.
Notice is hereby given that the
regular teachers examination will
be held in the school house in Tyn
dali on Thursday and Friday,
June 10th and 18th. 1929. 1t is
urged that all who think of teach
ing the coming year take this
examination, as NO one can open
a school or even contract for one
without being the holder of a va
lid certificate. Gerald E. Muller,

1t may be of interest to know
that there are thirty seven conso-
lidated schools in South Dakota
and more are being organized.
The following are some facts on
the workings of these schools:
The clerk of Pollack school in
Cambell county says. I'VE close
two OF our schools because we
can get the children hauled to the
third, or central school, for $40
per month, while it cost us 500
Per month for teachers for those
two schools, besides fuel, equip
ment, repairs, etc.. He says, also
"Consolidation adds to the value
of the property of the district.
Once when man wished to sell
his farm he advertised "A school

conveyed to good school instead
of having to walk in the snow.

of the cons olidated schools Of
this state last year (o7 o8) averag-
ed from SI.85 to $500 per pupil
per month. The rural schools of
BONNIE county spent for maintain
ance in o7-oS S34963 81 and had
enrolled 2o3a pupils. AS the av-
erage length of term is less than
7 months we find that The average
cost per pupil per month is more
than S2.so, We selected what we
know to be twenty of the best ru-
raj schools in the county and we
find that they spent last year 500
43 2S and had about AIS pupils en-
rolled. This makes an average
cost of about S2.75 per month per
pupil. There are many schools
in the county in which the cost
per pupil per month is from Sd to
IS. Compared with $500 per
head per month and also, when
