SCHOOL MERGER
State Supt. Lawrence Advocates
System In an Address at
Howard

Howard, March ID County SUPER
intendent Nellie Delaney presided over
a successful meeting of the district
school officers of Miner county, which
was held at the court house.
The meeting opened with a we'll Ie-
ceived talk by State superintendent
Lawrence, who made an urgent plea
for the uplift of the rural schools il
appearance as we'll as in general
efficiency. He contrasted the bare lone
S, me country school house with the
fine farm homes nearby. As a remedy
for the dilapidated appearance Mr..
Lawrence suggested the planting Of
trees IN ground prepared and cult
waited in the same manner as on the
farms. as well as fences and lawns
The equipment in country schools was
criticised; black boards, desks and seats
were said to be inferior and under the
requirements of good service and com
fort.
A more practical curse of study was
strongly advocated by the speaker.
The teaching of subjects pertaining to
farm life, such as animal ~hushandry
and agronoly, are, be said, much
more beneficial than many subjects
now taught which have not as their
aim life on the farm, but rather a
course in some college of classics and
languages. Before much progress
along this line could be made Mr..
Lawrence said a change in the high
schools must Ee made, the change
needed being the establishment of q
normal course in every high school
such as the surrounding states now
have.
Consolidated rural schools were rec
commended as the best means of obtain
ing desired results. The speaker read
data relative to cost of thsse schools as
compared TO the present school system.
Where tried the cost is found 10 be on
an average but little more than the
cost of separate schools, while the re-
suits have been more than satisfactory
10 every case.
A general discussion of the subject
then followed. which showed great
interest among the school offices. A
few districts intend trying the system
soon.

METHODIST CHURCH
Progress Of h Evangelistic
Meetings Announcement
for Tonight

A good audience was present last
night at the meeting in the Methodist
church and the whole program was
marked by close interest and atten-
ton. Prof. Linton conducted the
opening part of the service of song
and praise and sang a solo very effec-
lively. The pastors sermon was ON
''The Greatest Sin," based on the fact
that love to God is the greatest com.
mandment, the breaking of which is
the greatest sin and the cause of all
other sin. He said that IL one would
find out what any person desired above
all things else he would know the
character of that person. and that
God here reveals his character by
showing us that the one thing he
supremely desires Is our love. We
love God because he first loved us,
even as a mar loves his mother because
she loved him from the days of his
helpless infancy.
Tonight Prof. Linton will sing, SIS
That Somebody Your" and the pastor
has announced a unique service, it be-
ing the funeral sermon of a person
still living, and from a text that no
one ever heard preached from before.
Tomorrow night the subject is "Hypo-
critics. and all persons who have had
any experience with this class OF people
are especially invited.

Miss Boice who visited last week

Mr.. Miller seemed to take more in
terest in his hogs than anything else
and was preparing one of them for ex-
hibit at the Blackfoot fair with the

NEW RULING ON DESERT ENTRIES

The local land office is in receipt of
a recent decision by the secretary OF
the interior which will be of vital in
terest to all purchasers of relinquish-
ments in desert entries. and possibly
by inference, to purchasers of home
stead ACCOMPLISHMENTS as well, mas
much as this late decision reverses
prior holdings and establishes an en-
tirely new rule relative to improve
ments.
Heretofore it has been held that
the purchaser of desert entry relin-
quishments might take advantage Of
improvements found upon the land
entered, but the recent ruling revers-
es this and holds that under no cir
cumstances can such improvements
be applied upon the new entry.
No expenditure can be credited On
annual proofs upon desert entry
unless made on account of that par
ticular entry says the decision, land
expenditures once credited cannot be
again applied"
The decision comes from New Mex
: leo, where a young lady had purchas-
ed a REIMBURSEMENT under the belief
that the Improvements purchased
with the ACCOMPLISHMENTS would apply
: to the amount of improvements re-
quired from her. Her entry was con-
tested and the decision was against
her although time is given her to
show that she did the required work
after having made her own entry.
The decision concludes as follows:
Hereafter, therefore, no expendit.
ures, except on annual proof, and ex
penditures once credited cannot be
again applied and decisions in conflict
herewith will no longer be followed.
