would have been still more burden
some.
Because of this delay in working
out the new report cards, they were
not given out until after the second
months marks were ready. They
will be issued every four weeks
hereafter. In continuance of the
custom established some time ago, a
roll Of honor has been compiled, con-
sisting of the names of all pupils
having three or more marks last
month Of 30 or better. Eight graders
on the list were Hazel Adams and
Zella Mccartney, with each. The
Freshman class is conspicuous by it's
absence. Mary Kelly, Eva Moore,
and lone Roberts, Of the Sophomores,
were on with 3 each. The Juniors
and Seniors, much of whose work is
taken in the same classes, were rep
resented by Frances Freeman, Oliver
Blazer, Hazel Bond, Raymond JOHN,
'clarice Knods, and Lydia Lindland,
with 3 subjects each, Florencs Moore,
May Donnelly, and Daisy Knox with
4, and Christine Swanson, Hazel
Brant, Esther Caldwell, Floyd Fer
guson, Ruth Hutsinpiller, Manda
Norman, and Lucille Over with S or
more in the nineties.
This years Senior class comes
about as near being a model aggre-
cation as one is apt to run across in
a lifetime. Their unusual scholar
ship il attested by the fact that
over three-fourths Of the members
are on the honor roll. They demon
strated their loyalty to the school by
refusing to walk out when members
Of the other classes declared holi-
day for themselves three weeks ago.
They proved their public spirit by
taking charge Of the Red Cross roll
call in Oakes. In fact, they deserve
a citation for efficient discharge Of
duty in the various activities Of the
school and the community. The class
last year signed up for q lecture
course for Oakes for this winter, af-
ter the hackers Of last years course
decided that too much was enough.
The first number Of their course
comes on Wednesday evening Of next
week, with Burgderfer, the manufac-
turer Of laughs, as the attraction.
Season tickets are now being sold.
The high school course has been
shortened to three numbers, SO as
rot to compete with the Community
programs, later contracted for by
the business men of the city.
Miss Bertha r. Palmer of Bis
marck, chief clerk in the Office Of
State Superintendent Minnie ]. Neil
son, spent one afternoon of last week
in Cakes interviewing Supt. ]. C..
Gould Of the Cakes schools in regard
to the salary situation in the schools
of the state. Supt. Gould made a sur
vey Of teachers salaries last year,
the results of which were published
by the American School Board Jour-
nal. He was requested by various
educators to repeat the survey this
year, and was called upon to make q
report of his findings at the state
convention Of teachers in Minot last
month. He has now been asked to as
sist Miss Palmer in preparing gen.
eral survey Of the salary question,
upon which task she is now engaged.
This question Of teachers salaries is
mighty important one, If the main
tenance Of our school system is Of
any value to the state and nation.
The cost of living has doubled in the
past few years. Teachers' salaries
have increased about 20 per cent.
