o''' NOTES

June 9Th is the date chosen for the
junior senior banquet.
The members of the class of 1916
have just received their class pins.
Miss kilian has accepted a position
for the coming year in the schools of
Detroit, Michigan.
The Eighth grade boys are making
birdhouses in connection with the
reading of "Sharp Eyes,
Miss King has accepted a position
as instructor in botany for the sum-
mer session of Iowa Wesleyan Uni
versity.
The school year is rapidly drawing
to q close. Commencement week will
be June 9Th to 9th. A class of four
teen will complete the senior high
school course and a class of thirty
three the Junior high school course.
A special effort should be made to
hold this latter class together through
the three years of the senior high
school.
The first annual Cavalier county
track and field meet was held at the
fair grounds last Friday. Two schools
were represented, Hannah and Lang
don. This was, doubtless, due to the
fact that the date was changed the
meet being held earlier than planned.
The day was nearly ideal and the
meet was a grand success from all
points of view.
At a meeting o. the shcool p%rinci-
pals of the county at Munich on Sat-
urday, it was decided to make the
track meet an annual affair. A COM
mittee was appointed to arrange suit
able events for both boys and girls of
the junior-senior high school. The
questions of physical development
and education through play were given
a prominent place in the discussion.
In the Langdon schools both these
questions have been given emphasis
during the present school year and
plans are being formulated by which
greater stress will be laid upon them
another year. A more purposefully
planned supervision of play both on
the play ground and in the gymnasium
is being considered. The importance
OF physical development is to be m
phasiZed and an interest added by
keeping anthropometric records.
The senior junior party was held
on Saturday, in the corridors of the
cshool, at which the juniors and high
school faculty were the guests of
honor. A more enjoyable senior
Junior party has never been recorded
in the history of this school. The
corridors were tastefully decorated in
green and white, the junior class
%colors; this color scheme being used
throughout the entire decoration and
lunch of the party. The entertain
ment consisted in a very interesting
guessing game, with which Shake
spearean characters were used, a very
clever puzzle, and an animal game.
A delightful lunch was served after
which diplomas were presented to the
Juniors by the senior president, each
Junior being required to read his own
diploma, much to the amusement of
the audience and embarrassment of the
afflicted juniors. The program was
completed by singing school songs.

CELEBRATES NINET1ETH BIRTHDAY

From Mt. Carmel it is learned that
the ninetieth birthday of Joseph He'll,
ST., was the occasion of quite a re-
union of the various members of that
family on Monday this week at the
home of the old gentlenan's daughter,
Mrs. Louis Schneider. Although it
was what might almost be called an
exclusively family gathering, the
party assembled of sons, daughters,
grand children and great grand child
rem, to do honor to the birthday of
this patriarch Of the German settle
ment at Mt. Carmel, was one that
did a little more than tax the capacity
of the hospitable home of Nh. and
Mrs. Schneider.
Banker G. H. Johnston was a
Wales business visitor in the city
Tuesday.

Trip to Mesa to deliver bonds... 1000

! building $500
Iotal ........... $1741.70
From the statements made to the
court during the argument and from
the items as denominated in the Bill
of Particulars, we are unable to de-
terine exactly the character of services
the claim was presented for.
"One item is not disputed as a valid
claim against the District-that of
$1,000 for the expenses of a trip to
Mesa to deliver the bonds-and upon
the presentation of an order for the
same warrant should be drawn to
cover the amount and paid by the
County Treasurer upon presentation
from the funds of said district remain

this is concerned, the claim being in
Invisible as to items, the demurrer
must either stand or fall as to the COM
plant and bill of particulars as a
whole.
In considering this question of
clerical services rendered, if any, we
are confronted with the fourth ques-
ton presented; /. e. whether this work
was of a nature such as Board of
Education could require it's clerk to
perform in the due course of his duties
as such clerk.
Sec. 2764 of the Civil Code, 1913
provides that the clerk shall keep
record of the Boards proceedings with
out compensation, keep an accurate ac-
count of all moneys of the district,
n hn inS
of all electors of the district; and dis
charge such other duties as may be
prescribed by the board
'The bonding of a school district, or
any municipal or public corporation, is
one of the most particular. proceedings
known to the law Every step taken
in connection with said bond issue must
be in exact conformity with the stat
utes covering the subject Any divi-
sion therefrom is apt to vitiate the
entire proceedings and require new
start at the beginning. The reason for
this particularly is obvious the bond
issue constitutes a lien on the prop
erty of every taxpayer within the
bonded area and every such taxpayer
has the right to resist the payment of
such special tax as may be levied under
the bond issue and to test the validity
of the proceedings by a suit in court.
Such bond issues, therefore, to attract
bidders, must be in strict conformity
with the statute and must be levied
and established by due process of law
In order for the bidder to be satisfied
that the bond issue is legal and valid
