N. D. HIGH SCHOOL
BOARD WILL MEET
IMPORTANT MEETING or STATE
BOARD WILL BE HELD ToMoR-
RoW--MANY IMPORTANT MAT.
TIERS WILL Be UP FOR CON.
slDERATIoN AT THAT TIME.

An important meeting Of the North
Dakota high school board will be held
in Fargo tomorrow. Gov. John Burke,
Pres. r. L. McVey and Supt. w. l.
%lockwell are the members of the
eoard and 1t lis expected that the en-
ire membership will be present at the
meeting tomorrow, including the state
superintendent elect. f. J. Taylor.
At the meeting of the high school
hoard the question of the classification
OF the different secondary schools OF
the state for the present school year
will be most carefully considered.
other matters OF business that prop
erlya come before the board will be
discussed at this time.
State High School Inspector Rich
ard Hayward will also be present at
the meeting and win give report OF
some of the work done. He has been
in this position for the last three or
four years and has served most eff
ficiently. 1t is most probable that the
services of the present inspector will
be retained for the next biennial
period.
The number Of classified high
schools now in the state is ninety,
and among these is distributed the
appropriation of the state, amounting
to $4,000 annually. This money is
given out to encourage the schools to
do the highest grade of work possible.
According to a new ruling of the
board all high schools OF the first class
must maintain courses in manual
training and domestic science. A few
of these schools that are now ranked
in this class have not yet met this
provision and should they fail to do so,
it may be necessary for the state
board to lower their classification for
this year
The high school board has not been
able to apportion the full amount to
individual schools in the last two
years because Of the increase of the
number of classified schools. The next
legislative session will be asked to
increase the amount appropriated, SO
that first class high schools will re-
ceive the full amount of $500, second
class $500, and third class $780,
The board is urging the necessity
of all the schools paying particular
attention to the industrial lines of
education, including agriculture. On
account Of the demands that are be-
ing made for teachers, 1t may become
necessary for the high schools to do
more than is being done at present,
in training the teachers.
This is one of the most important
meetings OF the state board and the
meeting will in all probability con-.
tinue through the day.

store and put I'm stock of goods.
They mark up the goods IS per cent
above wholesale prices and at that
they undersell the merchants in the
surrounding towns. After paying all
expenses they have declared a dlvi-
dend each year varying from 10 to 80
per cent and the store has been run

matter in charge appointed a commit

supplies and they were abundant.
When time came for dinner, which
was served in the same hall as the
meeting was held in, the ladies' served
the meal on plates, dishing up meat,
