PURCHASES BRING $sl, l,1se.15

Approximately two thousand more
acres OF state land were disposed Of
in Beltrami county through the regul-.
ar monthly sales in 1914 than was the
case last year. At the sale conducted
at the court house this morning 253
acres were sold, the price paid aver
aging five dollars. There were four
buyers. This brings the total for the
sales held since last March up to 81
632 acres, while the land sold in 1913
amounted to 3.646.
Nielsen Well Pleased. ....a.
Theodore Nelson, manager of the
land sales department of the state au-
ditor's Office, was much pleased with
results attained by the sales this
year and announces that the land sold
has brought $3l,1S6.45, an average
of 1854 per acre. The average price
paid last year was $5.27, showing an
increase in the cost of the land.
$4,000 From Timber Sales.
In addition to the sale of land S3,-
$50 have been collected for timber
and improvements, bringing the av-
erage price per acre up to $6.15.
The list of purchases show that
there have been 53 local buyers, each
buying 67 acres on an average, a to-
tai Of 3,547. Twelve parties from
other counties of the state have pur-
chased 1,746 acres, an average of 145
acres to the buyer, while six persons
from other states have bought S39
acres of state land, an average of Sc
acres each.
Last Sale of Year.
The sale of this morning was the
last to be conducted here this year,
although there are $1,000 acres still
listed. Next March the sales will be
resumed and it is expected that in
the neighborhood of $1,000 acres of
land never before offered for sale will

be listed. There will be five more

ing brought $57O,669.99, or an av-

RURAL SCH0OLSGET
LEAST FOR MONEY
Poorest Districts Do Not Receive
Benefits Paid For, Finds Commit
tee Created by Legislature.
COOPERATION VALUE IS SHOWN
Will Remedy Conditions by Providing
Better Buildings, Teachers and
All Around Conditions.

IN OVerhaul1ng the state school
system, the educational commission
created by the last legislature pro-
poses no material change in the indie
pendent and special districts. With
few exceptions the special districts
should become Independent like the
rest, but that is not material change
in their scope or their ways Of doing
things. It is the rural districts that
calls for chief consideration.
The people in the rural districts
are entitled to schools just as good
and in some respects better than
those in the cities. The children in
the rural school are entitled to teach
ing just as good as is given the city
children. The rural school district
should be, according to it's means, as
strong as the Independent district.
Poor Districts Costly.
There are hundreds of districts in
the state that have ten children or
less and their number is increasing.
Those are the most expensive dis
tricts in the state. They can't afford
to hire the best teachers and still it
costs them more for teaching each
pupil than it does for the lavishly
maintained high schools in the city.
They can't afford to provide an up
tO-date building and modern equip
ment, and yet it costs more per pupil
than first class brick building with
all the imaginable apparatus. The
poorer a district is, the more it pays
in proportion and the less it gets.
The poorest districts of all do not
even get what they pay for. The
poorer the district is, the cheaper it's
teacher is, the more uncomfortable
the building is-the more irregular
the attendance. There are districts
where the enrolment is only half
the number of children and where
the children who are enrolled are
present only half the time. The dis
trict loses-wastes from one-half to
three-fourths Of what 1T spends ON
it's schools. What doesn't reach the
pupil is clear loss.
Value Of Cooperation.
In marketing grain and potatoes
and fruits and butter, the farmers
long ago found out how to overcome
the handicap Of trying to do every
thing alone Cooperate.
Cooperation is equally the remedy
for the poverty of school districts
In a number of places it has been
done with the result that the people
acquire better buildings and better
teachers at no greater expense, and
gain better attendance and better
progress all around.
Followed Everywhere.
The education commission proposes
that the plan should be followed
everywhere. The districts that are
strong enough to maintain grade
schools shall remain as they are. The
districts that are not strong enough
for that should, by uniting, be put
m an pnua1 footing with the inde-
