CASS BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
SCORED AT Meet
OF SCHOOL HEADS
Alleged Failure to Provide
School Nurses Brings
Condemnation :

DR.. II. J. Rowe, Casselton, presi-
dent Of the Cass County School Of
ficers' association, roundly censured
the Cass county board OF commits
sioners in his annual address to the
association at Casselton Friday for
their alleged failure to provide funds
for a school nurse for medical in
spection Of students IN the Cass
county schools.
DR.. Rowe declared that the petit
ton calling upon the board to pro-
vide for a school nurse signed at the
annual meeting at Casselton year
ago, had been productive of no re-
suits.
Riley Explains Matter.
]. W. Riley, Fargo. county superin-
tendent of schools, explained the sit
uation, stating that he had taken
the matter up with the board Of
commissioners year ago, and was
told that no provision had been made
in the 1918 budget, but that the
matter would be taken care Of in
the new budget. Funds were pro-
vided in the 1888 budget.
Mr.. Riley said that, according to
an opinion by the states attorney,
boys over IL years Of age were not
required to submit themselves for
physical examination by woman,
and that physicians had been ap-
pointed in each district to make the
examination. Because Of the flu sit
uation, he explained. little had been
done.
A resolution condemning the coun-
ty board Of commissioners for their
failure to take action was proposed
at the meeting. but was voted down
on the motion Of Mr.. Riley.
T. Riley Presented With Watch:
Mr.. Raley, who retires from office
scented with gold watch by dele
gates. The presentation was made
by Prof C. F. Schroeder, superinten-
dent Of the Davenport schools, who,
in a. brief presentation address, de-
cIared that the watch was only a
symbol of the esteem with which the
teachers Of the county held Mr.. RI
ley.
Attendance at the meeting at in
stitute was more than 200, and many
school problems were discussed.
Among the speakers were Mr.. Riley;
w, L. Stockwell; Mrs. N. G. Young,

Reaimentai Pets.

As regimental pets, black cats are
regarded the luckiest possession de-

a stray animal of this color at a gunpit
or dugout in France is an event OF
great Importance. Every one Is bound
to be lucky for some hours at least. To
meet a black cat while marching up
to the trenches puts every member OF
the company in the happiest humOr. On
the other hand, black magpie flying
across the line Of march is bad omen.
To hear the cuckoo calling before
