MUCH NEEDED
LEGISLATION

The School Law Commission Com
pletes Its Work
The com mission constituted
by the last Legislature to revise
aud ha:monize the school laws
of the state held Its final meet
ing at Bismarck last Wednes.
day aud Thursday. Prof. Black
is one of the appointed ,nen1.
bers of this commission aud
through him we get a few items
on the work that has been &C.
cornplished. 7
The entire school law was
gone over to adjus. any incon-
.sistencies or reduplications,
and to recommend such chang:
es as seemed advisable to carry
out the intent of the laws. 1t
was quite an extensive task
aud the com mission held eight
meetings besides the work ot
the individual members on ae.
signed parts Of the recodiffca.
tion. OF course there were
many points OH which t Ii e
members did not at first agree,
but the questions were frankly
and thoroughly debated unit:
every provision of the final
draft has received the unanim-
Gus approval of the members.
The law relating to the high
er institutions was not subject
to the revision to be made, but
at the points where the lnter-
ests of these institutions were
concerned nothing was chang
ed without the change having
been accepted by the represen-
tative of the institution con:
cerned.
The attorney general is a
member of this commission and
will put the report in due form
for the Legislature. 1t is rather
a volutninous report aud the
member of the legislature who
introduces the nkw bill which
this implies will probably have
the distinction of introducing
the longest bill in the present
session. The report consists of
147 pages of type written mat
ter divided into twenty. four
articles and 3l5 sections of la ".
In the final arrangement the
law relating to the common
school district comes in the
place where it now stands in
the old law, with all the pro-
visions which are special to
this kind of district in close
connection. Then comes the
law of the special district and
the independent district, fol-
lowed by tn o e provisions
which are common to all dis.
tricts, with some of general ma.
ture at the last.
The commission found come
laws which had been passed to
cure some particular cases and
of course had to handle them
with extreme care. The law on
the deposit of school funds was
III common with that for city
funds go it could not be very
much changed bv this revision.
Also an extensive Child labor
law was 80 recently enacted
that it needed no attention by
the commission, as it was in no
sense the purpose to remodel
conditions which were recently
enacted in good form.
The greatest change will be
found in the certificatelaw All
certificates will be state certi.
ficates in the sense of being is-
sued by state authority. An at
tempt was made to get our GER
tificate law into conformity
with the best thought on this
vital matter with the hope Of

To The Wahpeton Times:
1911 has come, with ,ts reso.

1t is a time Of peace.
Richland county stands we'll
in the yield of literary research;
yet sometimes somebody says,
opportunity comes but once in
a lifetime" The following of
Walter Naloneon Opportunity"
are to apt to let 80 by without
quoting. They express the
thought so that the thought
lives;
"They do me wrong who say 1

When once I knock and fail
to find you in,
For every day l stand outside
your door,
And bid you wake, and rise
to fight and win.
Wall not for precious chances
passed away,
Weep not for golden ages on

Each night I burn the records
of the day.
At sunrise every soul is born

Whether we are students or

Fortune in men has some small

"What differ more," you cry,

I'll tell you, friend, wise man
