The school lands had their origin
in grant Of two sections in every
township, one eighteenth of all the
land in the state, made when the
state was admitted to the union ~
years ago. These lands are sold to
settlers at auctions held from time
to time. The minimum price is $40
an acre, but frequently they bring
more. The lands not sold are leased,
thereby giving additional revenue. All
the larger towns contain high schools
and nearly 20 counties maintain coun-
ty high schools under special provi-
sion made by the legislature for such
institutions.
Special provision also has been
made for institutions Of higher learn
ing. For this purpose vast areas were
set aside by act Of congress when the
state was admitted, the grants for the
higher schools aggregating 700 square
miles. The income from this source is
supplemented by legislative approprl-
atoms.
AS with the early settlers of New
England, the problem of providing the
children with common school educa-
ton was one of the first considera-
tions of those who came in the pio-
neer days to make their home in Mon
tana.

My uncle stated to him, our errand.
"'Yes, glad of it, he said, ODD

''He kept on telling us how much a
school was needed, and how willing
he was to assist in establishing it, till
my uncle interrupted him by asking
what rent he would charge for the
room

"And he continued dilating upon
his interest in educational institutions,
with many profane expletives. We
left him still telling Of his wish to
be generous; but we decided that a
rude habltatlon OF that quality, plas-
tered inside and outside with mud,
with mud roof and dirt floor was
not dirt cheap, even with the exorbit-
ant prices at that time prevailing in
Bannack, and that the room was not
suitable for my purpose. 1t was some
time in October, 1863, I think, that the
school was opened in our own house:
on the banks Of Grasshopper creek. .

cises attracted much interest and
there were always visitors. The log
schoolhouse was replaced in 1867 by
brick building with four rooms.
As other sections of the state were
settled, the school master or mis-
tress always was included among the
pioneers. The first public school in
what is now Fergus county was held
in a log cabin as early as 1881. Ed

A frame building was erected in 1888
The first school house in Great

POLICEMAN TAKES GANDER
WITH HIM ON HIS ROUNDS

St. Louis. Sergeant David
Field tells how Joe, trained gander,
follows Patrolman Joseph Horn on
his beat from Lee to Carter avenue
and Fair to Newsstand avenue. Horn,
according to the sergeant, won the
gander at street carnival rattle
about year ago and has trained it to
accompany him on his rounds.
Field said that when Horn wants
to rout an alley gang he "sicks" the
eander on them. It then flies down
the alley, honking as it goes. 1t is
terror to negroes, Field says, and
has been known to fight dogs.

Gus and rough, the headquarters OF

ed also in it's population a number
of sturdy and worthy pioneers. These
people determined that their children
should have such schooling as it was
possible to provide for them and in
a few weeks after her arrival at the
settlement Miss Darling was engaged
as instructor. The problem of quar-
tiers for the school remained to be
solved. Miss Darling, accompanied
by her uncle, the chief justice, went
to the home of man who owned some
houses in the town, one of which, is
was thought, might answer the pur-
pose. Her reception is best told in
her own words. In an article pub
lished by the Historical Society OF
Montana, she says:
"With some difficulty, we found
