The Bismarck Tribune urges com
missions or some official recogni
ton for the American women serving
In France. 1t says:
The National Society of Pa
tTiOtiC Women calls attention to
a matter that Secretary Baker
should consider right away. The
American women doctors serving
in Europe are without rank, title
or commission, while the English
and French women have such.
Hence, our women doctors and
nurses in the military hospitals
are not treated with equal respect
by the internes and the soldiers.
The Killdeer Tribune felicitates
North Dakota on its freedom from q
coal famine, as follows:
A good many of our neighbour

cold, due to the lack of coal which
was sold to them in bag lots and
the big industries have had to
close on certain days. With good

here do not know what cold

sofa have just discovered this
and are now getting a large
amount Of their coal here and

Board Of Trustees Of Public
School Make Decision At
Meeting Saturday Even
ing; High School Follows

The public schools of Phoenix will
reopen on Monday December 80.

has not abated to a sufficient extent to
permit of a reopening of the schools

consisting of Sims Ely, DR.. L. D.
Cameron and w c. Hornberger at a
meeting held at 7:30 o'clock last even
ing decided that the schools should not
reopen for two more weeks.
The action of the school board also
affects the high school, since the con-
templated opening of that institution
Monday, was made conditional upon
the openin~ of the grade schools. The
correspondence system, instituted when
the school was first closed, will be con-
tinued along the same lines that OBJ
tanned in the past. In accordance with
the action of the public school board,
plans are being made to resume the
class work December so.
More Correspondence Work
As an incentive for the students of
the high school to prepare their lessons
with the same diligence as would be
required of them in the class room an
arrangement has been made by the fac
ully WHEREBY, at the opening OF school,
| each weekly assignment will be re-
viewed on separate days. At the con-
clusion of each review an examination
will be given
/ To those pupils. however, who have
/ done the correspondence work in n
manner satisfactory 10 their teachers
and who make a grade of SO per cent in

nations will be granted In lines %

sible or impracticable, such as mechan-

who have had manual training. The 10
