HOOVER GETS
RAISE OF $IOO
BOARD OF EDUCATION ELECTS
PROFESSOR HOOVER FOR AN
OTHER YEAR AND PAYS HIM A
NICE COMPLIMENT BY IN
CREASING HIS PAY.

Prof. William E. Hoover, at the
meeting of the Fargo board of educa-
ton last night. was unanimously re-
elected superintendent of schools fol-
the ensuing year. His salary was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000 pei
year
1t is the custom to elect the SUPER
intendent at the first meeting in the
month of February. This is done SO
that in case the board desires to
change it's head of the schools, the
superintendent, could have time to Sc
cure another position before July /.
While action was being taken on
the above Mr.. Hoover retired from the
room and after that business had been
concluded he was called back and
informed of what had been done. In
a neat little speech he thanked the
board for it's kindness and said that
he would do all he could in the future
as he had in the past for the good of
the Fargo schools.
In addition to President Holt the
following members were present az
the meeting: Mrs. Bolley, and Messrs.
Smith, McArdle, Adams, Moen. Car
penter. Lane and Professor Hoover.
The minutes of the last regular and
adjourned meetings were read and ap-
proved and the usual bills for the
month ordered paid.
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer OF the board of education
were read and ordered placed on file.
These reports have already appeared
IN The Forum.
There was a good deal Of discussion
on the coal bills for the schools for
the month Of January. The total bill
was in the neighborhood of $1,000 the
exact figures being 1921. It was
shown from the bills that the coal had
not been weighed at the city scales.
and although the contract does NOT
require this the secretary of the hoard
was instructed to direct the contractor
supplying the coal to do so in the IN
ture. 1t required nearly $500 worth
OF coal to supply the Central or bioh
school building.
The committee on tuition reported
that 1t had collected during the nost
month the sum OF $S09.63 for tha in
struction of outside pupils. az +bis
amount over $40O came from Distriat
no. 30, which is north of the CITY and
1853 came from District No. 81. which
lies to the south Of the city. Thu is
for half the term and means that Ear
go school district will receive nasr,,,
If not quite $1,000 for the school 49,

PUBLISH PENSION ROLL.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer takes
the following view of an interesting
subject:
The estimates for pension appropri-
ations this year reach $3.50, 600, 900,
and the house committee has substan-
TALLY agreed to report new pension
legislation to bring the aggregate up
to s20O,O00,0o0 annually In connec-
ton with this proposed legislation a
New York newspaper publishes an ex-
tract from a speech made in congress
by James A. Garfield in 1872, in which
he said: I'VE may reasonably expect
that the expenditures for pensions will
hereafter steadily decrease, unless our
legislation should be unaccountably
extravagant." The pension roll at the
time this speech was made carried but
trife more than $4,000, 900, or less
than one-sixth the amount which 1t
will carry should the pending legisla-
ton pass. This country can hardly be
accused of treating it's old soldiers with
ingratitude, in view of this showing.
There are many people who believe
that the time has come when there
should be a full publication of the pen
sion roll, so that every citizen can
know who 1t Is that is receiving the
bounty of the government. There has
been strenuous protest against the
publication of the roll in the past and
the protestants have heretofore won
There is no sound argument against
publication. The pension roll should
be a roll of honor.
What man, entitled to a position on
a roll Of honor. has any reasonable
objection to letting the world know
that his name is so Inscribed?
The objection must have come from
those who realize that they have nc
real place on such roll. and who are
afraid that their neighbors and asso-
ciates shall know the facts.
This is day of publicity and re-
form. No honest pensioner can be in.
jured, even in feelings, by the pub.
lication of the roll. If there are mer
not entitled to the pensions which they
now receive, it is but right and JUS
that this fact should likewise bs

THE ANTI.PAss BILL.

There will be a great deal Of disap-
pointment IL the anti-pass bill becomes
a law as it has passed the senate.
The Forum has frequently called at
tention to the legitimate and proper
use Of free transportation by such peo-
pie as farm institute lecturers, stud
ents to agricultural institutes, educa-
tlonal workers and others.
There can be no charge sustained
that the use Of mileage books or trip
passes for this class will do any great
harm to any one. The use Of free
transportation in this respect means a
lot of difference in the agricultural
education of the farmers of the state
and the proper and effective dis
semination of the scientific informa-
ton secured through Investigations at
the agricultural college.
A rigid anti-pass bin will retard the
development Of the state.
It means-either that the taxpayers
must foot the bills of these institute
and educational worSers-to maintain
present progress---or the work must be
abandoned. This, too. in face of the
fact the railroads are anxious and will
ing to cooperate in development
work.
From material standpoint the anti
pass law is bad. If it has the saw
ing grace Of any great moral uplift-
in taking transportation from the class
of educational workers and develop
ers mentioned-The Forum confesses
it is too dull to see it.

FROST AND THE SNOW.

The depth to which the frost reached
in North Dakota early this winter-be-
fore the heavy snowfall--combined
with the more recent snows-makes
the farmers feel encouraged for the
coming season.
The deep frost insures not only the
storage of a great deal of moisture
but the further fact that it will be dis
tributed slowly-and be available when
the crops will most need it.
The recent snowfall is another en-
couraging element. OF course much of
it will melt and escape before the
frozen ground will be sufficiently
thawed out to absorb it-but the snow
will fill the lakes. the coulees and
swales and a great deal of moisture
will be conserved. This will be indi-
rectly--if not directly-beneficia to
the 1911 crops.
