Coward or - nedioata.

Replying TO a request from Miss
Rushfeldt, superintendent of public
schools for Clay county, to dedicate
the new consolidated school at Rus
tad, Governor Eberhart writes that he
hopes to name a date for the event
about the end Of February and that
he Will let her know very soon.
This school, constructed by Nels
Malvey of Moorhead, is rapidly near
ing completion. The upper floor was
placed in use today and the carpeII-
tiers are now at work on the first
floor and the basement. Miss Rush
feldt says she is very proud of this
building, she thinks the people win
be given the best value for the none
they have expended in its construc-
ton, about $18, 900. The building when
all is done will afford capacity for
seven teachers and probably that
number will be required for the next
school year. There is every provis-
ion for the different departments re-
quired in a first-ciass rural school,
including domestic science for the
girls.
1t is the intention of the school
board of Rustad, with Miss Rushfeldt
cooperating, to present a very at
tractive programme for the dedicatory
exercises which will be announced
as soon as possible.
The consolidated school building for
the districts of Kragnes and Oakport
which is to be erected this year will
be modelled after the building at Rus
tad.
