Call Election For March 31-BOndD
For $4,000 PropOsed-Open
Letter From Board

Nine hundred and sixty-six pupils
enrolled-19l in the Senior high
school and 1876 in the Junior high
school, total greater than the en-
rollment of any high school in the
state, with three exceptions-extrs
grade rooms for several Of the grades
an absolute necessity-all available
space now occupied-these are some
of the facts of the situation that con-
fronts the board of education and has
persuaded them that the construction
of another building is the most satis-
factory as we'll as the most business
like course to follow.
Accordingly a special election has
been called, notice of which will be
found in another column, for Friday,
March 81, to vote on the question Of
bonds in the sum Of $4,000.
The proposed building would be-
placed at the south side of the orig
inal central building and would be
quite similar to the new building at
the north side, but probably slightly
larger. In an open letter, printed be-
low, the board explains some of the
features of the problem before them.
An Open Letter
At their regular meeting of Tues
day night, the Board of Education
passed a resolution favoring the erec-
ton of an additional school building
and calling for a special election on
March 81 for the issuance of bonds.
in the sum of twenty one thousand
dollars.
Perhaps nowhere else in Williston
is the city's growth and development
more in evidence than in the public
schools.
But comparatively few years ago
the Central School was ample for tho
accommodation Of the enrolment; then
came the need for the West Lawn
school which would apparently satis-
fy all demands for many years; but.
shortly there was required also the
Annex, now the home Of the Junior
High school; and it was just two
years ago that the new High School
building was first occupied. And now
this continued growth demands an
other building.
All rooms in West Lawn school are.

Believes MeXicanS
Will Rally to Villa

Washington, March Ex-senator
Borah, republican, urged the senate
to drop all other legislation and i'm
mediately consider a national pre-
paredness program in view Of the con-
quences that might arise from the de-
cision to pursue Villa in Mexico.
Chairman Chamberlain of the mill
tary committee told the senate that in
his opinion the United States army
did not have enough soldiers to cope
with Mexico or enough equipment.
He added he would not be surprised
to see all Mexicans rally around Villa.

Citizens Responding
To Directors Letter

The officers and directors Of the
Commercial Club arc elated over the
numerous and prompt responses al
ready received to the letter and list
of questions sent to over 400 citizens
as a means of gathering the con-
sensus of opinion on the proper
course for the club to pursue during
the present year. Yesterday Presi-
dent Jackson said: "The question
lists are already coming back in graf
flying numbers. The plan Of inquiry
looks like big success and likely to
prove of far greater value to US at
this time, in helping to shape our pro-
gram of work than public meeting
could have been. Please say that we
hope every blank will come back fully
filled out. And say that we would
like to have them all in by next Mon
day."
The letter and list of 16 questions;
was published in the last issue of the
Graphic. Since then they have BEEN
mailed to between 400 and 500 people,
and any who fail to receive them
through the post office can secure:
copies at the drug stores.
Seek Efficiency
The directors are doing their level
best to get started right and all they
ask of the citizen body, at present, is
to aid them by counsel. The directors
are earnestly desirous of making the
Commercial Club EFFICIENT for
the purposes for which it is designed.
The directors in laying out the prin-
cipal work of the year wish to con-
centrate effort on the things the citi-
zens at large consider most important.
If every one who receives letter will
contribute 80 minutes thought to the
cause of better Williston, and indi-
cate his conclusions on the blank, and
mail it, the preliminary work Of the
directors will be simplified. Also-
they will have the stimulus and in
spiration and courage that comes
from an INTERESTED citizen body
backing them.
Mail YOUR response not later than
Monday, the goth. Replies mailed
little later will of course be gladly
received and considered.

MANY PROOFS OF SCHOOL
GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT
Baby Week Observed BY Good Pro-
grams-Epping Will Vote On
Special District

Williams county has a great and
growing asset in her schools. Un-
usually fortunate in supervision for
years past as we'll as at present they
have forged to the front ranks among
the schools of the state and the
Northwest. The school news Of the
present week is the best evidence for
the proof of these statements.
On the Attendance Records and
Work Done
Williams County receives $1O26.5O

classified schools. This amount has
been apportioned as follows:

This is remarkable showing and
there ought to be special effort
made says the superintendent to keep
up the attendance during the spring
months in order that these same
schools and others may classify this
year, as it was the poor attendance
which kept many other schools from
classifying last year. Where possible
an extra month should be held to
make up for the time lost in January
on account of severe weather.

Divorces in Canada.

Canada's divorce court is never en-
tered except by members o. he
wealthy class-and not frequently by
them. Only four to six divorces are
granted in Canada annually. There
is no record of a poor man ever get
ting divorce in the Dominion, 1t is
said. The average cost of a divorce
in Canada is $4,000 and the decree is
granted for only one offense-marital
inf1delity. The legislature at Ottawa
appoints a divorce committee each
session and all cases are settled by
this committee. There is no appeal to
a divorce action. Those living in the
western part of the Dominion have
to pay much more for a decree than
those living in the east because Of the
heavier travelling expenses.
