OCALA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Contributed by Lillian Smith and
Westlake HoIlinrake

The total enrolment of all the
white schools of Ocala for the first
quarter ending November 18th was
702. Several have enrolled since and
the enrolment will continue to in
crease from week to week. The en-
rolIment Of the high school depart
ment is now IL, but one of these has
discontinued. The average daily at
tendance of the high school is re-
markably good, being nearly 108 for
the second month, out Of an enroll
ment of 10, one of these not attend
in gand another being sick much of
the time. During the first quarter,
261 pupils were neither absent nor
tardy, 81 of these being high school
pupils. Many others were not absent
but had one or more tardy marks
against them. This record in attend
ance is very gratifying to the faculty,
since irregular attendance is very det-
rimental to the interests of the school.
Since the common fund is apportion-
ed on the basis of average attendance
this splendid average means more
money for the school.

ing in the first quarterly examina-
lions an average of 900 or more ex-
elusive of the 515 given for perfect at
tendance and punctuality.

TEN MILLION A YEAR
Counties is Placed at Ten Million
Year

Pierre, Oct l.-Ten million dollars q
year is the approximate cost of main
tenance of the schools and counties of
South Dakota, as shown by the figures
of reports prepared for the fiscal year
ended June 30th last, so far as counties
are concerned, and for the previous year
as to schools, the latter figures on such
expenditures not being available, but
with the general increase for the past
two years the total will go fully ten mil
lion, with the showing of figures avail
able at So, 420j096 This is a jump from
50, 897, 626 for the same comparative
items in 1905, or ten years ago. The
school maintenance is S., 5,4l3,084, and
the general county maintenance is
$4, 006, 1872 Two of the items which
show heavy advance is that of teach
ers' wages, and highway expenditures.
Teachers wages have advanced from
1885, 404 in 1905, to $2,795,s5l in 1915,
as one of the heavy increases in educa-
tional expense. Highway expenditures
went from $274,48 in 1905 to 81, PIT ,809
In 1915
The county figures at Sl,S6l ,007 in
1905 and S4,006,432 in 1915 are simply
general maintenance figures, and do not
include bond or interest payments nor
the figures of school loans which go as
expenditures in a general statement.
The school figures of 81 $50, 6l9 for 1905,
and 81 ,4l3,064 for 1915 both contain the
item of interest on bonds.
In the same period, the expenses of
maintenance Of the state for the same
period shows that the expenditures for
1905 we're 81, 2l5, 952, and the same com
parative figures for 1915 show $3.50
GAS.
Probably no subject has been given
greater publicity in the state the past
few years than increase in public ex-
penditures, and in the discussion as it
has carried on, this has been charged
largely to state expenditures, but the
cold figures as shown by official reports
indicate that there has been a material
change in local expenditures as well as
in state expenditures, in fact the ratio
of increase appears to have been larger
for local purposes than for state pur-
poses.

MAP OF TRB UNITED
sTATEs FOR ONE CENT


School teachers who are not familiar
with the many and various maps pub.
lished by the Geological Survey will be
interested to learn of small map of the
United States which is sold by that bu-
reau at the nominal price of / cent.
This map shows rivers, lakes, state
boundaries, state capitals, and principal
cities, but not the less important feat
ures, whose numerous names and sym
bols tend to create obscurity and confu-
sion. This map does not show heights
or mountain ranges. 1t measures about
81 by l2 inches and its scale is 260 miles
to inch. Five copies of the map are
sold for 3 cents if an order for them is
included in any order for maps amount
ing to So.
The Survey publishes also maps of the
United States on larger scales, one on a
scale of about 100 miles to inch for 5
cents retail, and one on scale of about
ITO miles to ! inch, with contours to
show relief, or without contours, for 10
cents retail. The wholesale prices for
these maps are 3 cents and 9 cents res
pectively.
Orders for these maps should lie ads
dressed to the Director U. S. Geological
Survey, Washington, D. c., and accom-.
panied by remittance, in cash or postal
money order.

MUST BE BONDED.

A new law passed this last session of
the legislature affects many people who
may not be aware of it. This law pro-
vides that any person taking goods for
storage and receiving pay therefore must
get license from the Secretary of State
and file bond for 81, 900 for the pur-
pose of conducting storage warehouse.
1t has been the custom all over the state,
and is now, for many people to rent
room to store household goods and other
property, but no attention has been paid
to this law because its provisions are
not generally known. A Rapid City
man prepared bond under this law
this week, The bond must be 81 900
and not exceeding $4,000 according to
the goods stored There is a fine 800
a day provided for not complying with
this law. w.-Capital-Journa.

FORBIDDEN GROUNDS.

You are, no doubt, all interested in
the welfare of your children, and would
be heart broken should one ofyour boys
be brought home crushed and lifeless,
or MANNED for life by being run over by
an engine or cars while playing around
the railroad yards. The depot grounds
and switch yards at Custer seem to be a
fayorite play ground for young boys, es-
peel ally at passenger train time. They
do mot know they are trespassng, and
the majority of them refuse to believe
me when | tell them. | have warned
the children to keep away from the rail,
road yards at all times unless their par
ents or guardians are with them, but it
has not had the desired effect. ] wish
every parent in the town of Custer
would make it point to show their
boys the great danger of playing around
the yards and on the depot grounds,
and try to break up this bad practice.
Will you not each take enough interest
in the welfare of your children to help
me keep them away from this danger2
You should all know that we are always
busy, and have not the time to look out
to see that your little boys are safe from
harm while playing on forbidden
grounds. A little heart to heart talk
from you will do more good than all the
talking can do, and will go far toward
preventing an accident that will grieve
us all.

SEVERE WINTER
Amateur Forecasters at Pierre do Not
Agree With Mild Winter Theory
of Bureau.

Pierre, Oct. 4.-The weather bureau
record at this city, shows daily de-
ficiency of 81 degrees in temperature
for 1915, from the first of January to
the end Of September. The record also
shows surplus of $50 inches of pre-
cipitation for the year up to the first of
October. On the theory of averages,
which is used by the bureau, the winter
should not be a severe one, nor one
with great snow fall. But the general
tenor of the local forecasters, based on
corn husks, wild fowl; fight and other
alleged local indications show that
severe winter is at hand, and it is up to
the average householder to prepare for
whatever class of winter he wants to
look to, and take what comes as the win
ter advances.
