Respectfully submitted,
G. w. DOTY, Treasurer.
The report was accepted and placed
on file.
The report of the District Clerk
was then presented as follows:
To the Voters and Taxpayers of Joint
School District No. 8, of Edgerton
and Fulton:
We hereby respectfully submit the
report for the school year 1915-1916.
The schools of this district have
been conducted in their several de-
partments with success that has
commanded the admiration of the
community. The success of any school
system depends mainly upon two fac
tors. (1) An enlightened public
backing. (2) The engagement of
real teachers.
Our public schools have enjoyed the
cooperation of the public in large
measure. Parents with few excep-
tons are taking advantage of the
schools by sending their children to
them, and are giving in return not on
ly of their financial substance, but are
supplying an atmosphere Of home sup
port which never fails to react bene-
ficially upon pupil and teacher alike.
Good schools are always expensive;
but Edgerton people are certain that
poor schools at any price are immeas-
ureably more expensive. All there
fore who are interested in the educa-
ton of the boys and girls of our COM
munity are grateful to the community
for it's ready response to the financial
needs of the public schools. We feel
confident that the investment in sani-
tary buildings, apparatus and mater
ials, and good instructors for the
youth of the district, is the best pay
ing and farthest reaching investment
that the community makes.
Our experiment with six year
course in the High School, uniting the
seventh and eighth grades, or Junior
High, with the upper classes, desig-
mated as the Senior High, under one
department is proving a wise innova-
ton. It gives teachers opportunity
to study Individual qualities, individ-
ual likes and dislikes, and to pre-
scribe to individual needs rather htan
to the school as conglomerate mass.
We are attempting to vitalize the
school work by making the school
room place of study under the as
sistance and leadership of the teacher.
This means less home study below
the ninth grade, and better under
standing of the ground covered The
old idea of holding the recitation mere
| ly to test whether children have mas
tered material which only the bright
er ones can expect to master without
proper guidance, has given way be-
fore the more reasonable plan Of a
teacher teaching pupils how to study,
and leading them over the places
where real instruction should be Civ
en-. In the new method, the teacher

We have difference of--.$20, 628.00
which should be voted by this school
meeting.
In this sum you will notice that
there is an amount of 100000 which
is outside of the amount asked for
school maintenance. | refer to the
last two items. We have been in
formed from the city authorities that
the city contemplates improving Swift
Street. We have no final information
as to the exact cost of this improve
ment. To meet the districts part of
the expense of this improvement, we
have decided to ask for the next to the
last item of this budget.
Because we have been compelled to
borrow money to meet the first
months salary of our teachers, in
past years, it has seemed wise to the
School Board, to ask you to help us to
build up a reasonable working balance
to run the schools from September I'M
til tax collection time. This we do
not ask you to do all at once, but grad
ually. For this reason we have added
the last item of the budget.
The total difference which we have
found between the estimated receipts
and expenditures of the coming year
being $2O,628OO including these two
items, we have concluded to ask you
to levy for the coming year the sum
of $2O,50O.OO.
Respectfully submitted,
Durant C. Gle.
1t was moved and seconded to ac-
cept the report and raise the amount
Of $2O,5O0 for the coming school year.
The motion carried.
The election of officers followed:
C. w. Birkenmeyer was elected for
a term of three years to succeed him
self. Mrs. Mooney was elected for a
period of two years to succeed herself
and Geo. Dallman was elected for a
term of two years to succeed Mrs.
Ratzlaff.
Chairman Leary reappointed the
same auditing committee for the en-
suing year as follows: w. T. Pome-.
roy, Chairman. John Ruosch, and f..
w. Coon.
Mrs. Henderson arose in behalf OF
the Woman's Federation and urged
attention of the district to the neces-
sity of summer training and play
ground work asking that the gym be
kept open under an instructor and
that playground work be carried out
during the summer.
On motion the matter was left to
the school board.
The meeting then adjourned.

The ungraded department shows
our attempt to bring the work to TO-
Gus upon the individual. 1t aims to as
sist the backward pupil to catch up
with his grade, and aid pupils who are
able to develope faster than the grade
to get into classes on the level of
their own intellectual development.
The vocational courses were never
more popular. Manual Training and
Domestic Science courses are both ell
ective. Yet every pupil who has en-
tered the high school the past years
has, | am informed elected to study
one or the other. The commercial
course too has grown in popularity,
benefting more pupils than ever be-
fore.
Pursuant to law, the School Board
met on the last Saturday in June, and
reviewed the receipts and expenses of
the year, and prepared the budget to
be submitted to this meeting, for the
coming year.
We have estimated the receipts for
the coming year to be as follows:

HIGH Team LOSES TO alumni
FIRST GAME OF SEASON DROPPED
TO GRADS, Is. TO 1.-TWO
MEN HURT

Practice seemed to matter little with
the alumni football team, which de-
feated the high school squad Saturday
in the first game of the season at the
fair grounds, by score of rs to 0. Al
though they had not played together
before the alumni showed that they had
not forgotten the necessary tactics: OF
course, the fact that the high school
team was composed partly Of raw re-
cruits; who had never played a game
Of football before; that Levin, one of
the strongest men on the high squad,
was injured in the first part of the
game, and that the alumni players
were much heavier, had considerable
to do with the result of the game.
Coach Liljedahl nevertheless. has con-
fidence in the new men and believes
that some good players can be develop
ed from them.
The first quarter saw no scoring on
either side, although the alumni had
the best Of their opponents from the
start and several times came within a
short distance Of the goal. Tt was in
the first part Of the first quarter that
Levin was injured, when he made a
dive to recover tumble and dislocat-
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1916-09-29
ed his right elbow. He was replaced


by Schroeder.
In the second quarter the alumni
scored their first touchdown, when ia
cobson got the ball on an attempted
forward pass by the high team and
dashed past the goal. Longley kicked
for the goal but missed.
Nothing occurred in the third quar-
ter in the way of scoring but several
changes were made in the lineups on
both sides. Bastien, on the high team,
had his back strained, and was replace
ed by Malburn, who was playing tack
lie, and Hennen took Malburn's place.
Lauermann replaced Gordon and Nc
Gonagle went in for Berkin on the
other side.
Meyers added the second touchdown
to the alumni's score in the first part
of the fourth quarter. Longley miss
ed goal this time also. Another change
was then made by: the alumni, Kenkel
replacing G. Tomelty. A pass from
Meyers to Tomelty Melted the alumni
a 45-yard gain and l.. Longley then got
the ball and carried it safely over the
line for the third touchdown. Palmer
was put in to replace Grimes after this
play. L. Longley kicked for the goal
but missed. The high school squad
had a. good start for their goal but
they fumbled the ball and it got into
the hands of the alumni, Meyers TAX
ing it through the entire field for a
touchdown. Graham kicked goal, scor-
ing the 25th point.

Grain Review

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Buoyancy In the
wheat market continued today even AZ
ter a fresh high record price for this
season had been made, the fourth time
in four successive days. Fresh advances
today resulted from Liverpool as
patches that consumption OF supplies
was exceeding the arrivals n tnat
the demand for wheat from the united
States would be undated while such a
condition remained. There were aiso
advices that Kansas fields were cover
ed with sleet and Ice and that colder
weather threatened damage to the win
ter crop After opening a shade OF to
N@Ac higher, the market sagged a
trifle and then scored a sharp general
advance. First prices for May were
$1.36A o. and July $1.26h@A.
Profit taking by holders led orward
to a decided reaction. There seemed 70
be a letup in export inquiry. Quota
tions closed weak, h@Ac UP to No
