:.s Dental inspection.
Superintendent Root brought before,
the board the matter Of dental In
spectfon in the schools and suggested
that such inspection work should be
done before the end of the year SO
that parents would have an oppor-
tunity' Of having their children's teeth
attended to, if they desired, during
the summer vacation, without keeping
the child out of school.
The president was authorized to ar
range with the local dentists to in
spect the teeth of all school children
free of charge The children will be
given card by the inspecting dentist
which will tell the parents the condi-
ton of the child's teeth in each In

More Room Needed.
A committee of Messrs. Fish, Wach.
ter and Holta was appointed by Presi-
dent Lenhart to look into the matter
Of securing additional rooms for use
of the kindergarten and some Of the
lower grades. The kindergarten is
now housed in very poor quarters. it
is said, and more room is needed for
third grade pupils. At present the
lower grades are crowded and some
of the rooms are undesirable.
Superintendent Root suggested that
the board plan en- an addition to the
new high school building when more
building is done, the new quar- tiers to
house the Junior high school, thus
providing additional room for the
lower grades.
Must Keep Order.
The secretary was instructed to
notify the officers of the Parent.
Teacher association that unless the
boards regulations be carried out ir
the reading rooms in the basement OF
the Will school building the use OF
these rooms will be prohibited. There
have been many complaints as to the
conduct of those who use the rooms.
School Start Late?
It is possible that school may not
heein until the second week OF Sep
tember, next fall. The reason for thls
rossible change is the meeting OF the
y. E. A. at San Francisco in august.
The meeting does not end until Aug
rst % and it may be hard for the
teachers attending the meeting to re-
tnrn to Bismarck in time to open
school the first week in September.
