History of County

The deposits of twenty-four out of
the twenty-five state and national

Der 18th. show footings of almost
four millions of dollars, which is an
increase of not less than $500, 600
over and above the showing of busi-
ness on June 3Oth. The condition is
one that gives every reason for the
assurance that the closing statement
of the affairs of banks of this county

will be called for in November, will
bring the aggregate of Cavalier
county bank deposits at that time
we'll up to the 81, 5OO,0 600 mark The
figures presented below make the
strongest financial statement ever
issued in the history of the county,
and is all the more creditable owing
to the fact that this, from a business
standpoint, may be considered an off
year. Below are the bank deposits of
the various towns over the countv.

ADDRESSBY
SHEPARD
County School Superintendent Shepard
Frankly Outlines to POcasset Meet
Duties Of Patrons

One Of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of the year in school circles was
the one at Pocasset, Tuesday night
when the patrons and friends of the
known as "The Patrons-Te Teachers Co
operative association" On entering
the room one realized that this group
OF 46 men and women was there for
purpose and that they were intensely
interested in carrying out this pur-
pose.
After the minutes of the preceding
meeting were read and approved,
County Superintendent Shepard began
the program with talk showing how
society of this kind would increase
the efficiency of the school. He said,
"The most important part of the plan
is for the patrons to know the work
ing machinery of the school. The ma
jority of them are willing to help, if
they only know how to help. School
work is out of their line of business,
they are not supposed to understand
the running gear of a school; if they
did they would be teachers instead Of
farmers, doctors. etc. In these meet
ings we shall discuss our plans and /
our needs. bring before the patrons
just what we want to do and once
they realize our needs. we need never
fear the result. they are ready and
willing to give their approval and
their support II the patron under

be absent or tardy, he will see to it
that his child is regular in attendance;
if the patron realizes that we want
this room beautiful for the sake of the
influence surroundings have on his
child he will help in effecting this end;
in fact when the patron realizes that
the teachers is a servant to minister
to his children and thus to our next
citizenship, he will give his earnest
and unlimited support to the school,"
Mr.. Shepard gave the attendance,
absentees and tardies of the town
schools of the county, and urged Po-
casset to continue to lead the line in
attendance as she has done for the
past two months. He spoke very
ylainly Of the needed improvements in
the building and what was expected
Of the teachers and patrons. In com
mentingN on these remarks, one patron
said that he had been wanting to say
those very things for years but he
wasn't yet ready to leave the country
as he would have to do if he talked
as freely as Mr. Shepard had.
There were excellent papers read
by the teachers setting forth the plans
for the year and explaining to the pa
irons the part they might take in
them. Several men replied in talks
revealing their enthusiasm and inter-
est in the meeting and the things that
they might accomplish together. Mr..
Davidson, the successful superintend-
ent of the school, expressed his appre- /
citation Of the hearty response and
good attendance. The meeting adj
iourned till the first Friday after J
