John Mahon Visits Big Schools Here
and in Manitoba and Says We1
Have Them Beat

Editor Courier Democrat Langdon, N. D.
We visited the schools at Rolla, N. D.
on our way west after leaving Langdon
on our trip. Rolla built its new school
building about three years ago and at
the time that it was completed was sup
posed to, have one of the most up.to-
date school buildings to be found any
where in the state. Many Of their
people complained about the building
being so large and thought they would
never have use for it at all. They built
of good material, both inside and out,
the total cost being $4,000. Rolla con-
solidated with and adjoining township
in order to enable them to increase their
bonding ability, as they had to bond to
the limit and also levy to the highest
possible point to provide legally to cover
the funds needed, l believe that they
made mistake in taking in the town
ship. They are crowded now in every
room. In the high school they have
eighty pupils and Il total attendance il
all grades CT over three hundred. The
school board now finds itself in dilem-
ma in order to find ways and means for
another building to provide accommoda-
ton for all the children attending the
school. 1t certainly was great benefit
to the township to be take into the con-
solidation, but the district as it is now
comprised finds that the cost of bringing
tie children in from the country is
about equal to the revenue received
from that part of the district. | can
see how RolIa would be much better off
had it not consolidated with the town
ship. [ also found that the Rolla
school is much interested in tho studies
of manual training and domestic science
a period of two hours per week being
given to these subject il. the different
grades. They are satisfied that it IS
great advantage to the children in the
rest of their studies, the superintendent
telling me that it gives them a training
in care and accuracy that they could
not possibly gel in their other studies
At the time | visited that school boy
was making piece of furniture. He had
the last piece of lumber to cut to CON-
plete the job. He did not use care in
his measurements and cutting and lost
his last chance. This was an object
lesson that he certainly will never for
get. Their domestic science class is
certainly doing splendid work. 1t is
made to be really practical by buying
some cloth and making clothes for some
of the poorer children in the town.
When building they thought they
were installing an up-tu-date ventiiat
ing system. 1t is what is known as
gravity system and is altogether in ade-
quate and almost failure. They have
their toilets IN the basement and con-
nected with the furnace, which il they

When the bowels are inactive. loss OF
appetite. restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. AT the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, II necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts. cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh In
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build

had bought out one of the poor fel.
lows books at heavy loss.
