The granting Of special aid to the
eleven schools indicates that the
Grand Forks county institutions are
being operated under the best Of con-
ditions and have the equipment re-
CURED by law. 1t was stated this aft
ernoon that this county would, in all
probability. have more Of It's schools

The requirements Of the state are
very rigid. and they must all be met
