Board of Education Put Face to
Face With the Proposition
State Will Take Away $4,000 State Aid
Ualess Defuite Building Program
is Started.

City Council and the Taxpayers
of the city of Washburn are
brought face to face with the
proposition of building a new
high school building, and it is a
proposition that cannot longer
be delayed, for letter has been
received from State Superintend-
ent C. P. Cary, following an in
vestigation made by officials of
his department, in which it is
stated that unless the City OF
Washburn begins definite
building program in which it is
proposed to erect a new high
school building, or make I'M
provsments to the old property
that are satisfactory to the State
Department that the city of
Washburn will be denied what
state aid it has been receiving,
amounting in round figures to
$4,000.
On Tuesday of this week a
joint meeting of the School
Board and City Council, with
other representative citizens
preeent. was held at the Com.
mercial Club rooms in this city,
the meeting being presided over
b. President F. I. Beers of the
Board of Education.
The letter of Mr.. Cary was
read to the body. There were
also present at this meeting
Assistant State Superintendent
Carter Alexander, H. w.
Schmidt, Superintendent of In
dustrial Construction. and DR..
Theysen. Superintendent of
Measurements, all representing
the State Superintendent's office,
who appraised the meeting of
the condition of the schools and
the changes which would be
necessary to comply with the
law in order to receive state aid.
DR.. Theysen stated that the
Walker Building now used for
high school purposes, was en-
tirely inadequate to meet the
conditions and he stated that it
was his belief that it would re-
quire the expenditure of from
$4,000 to. $4,000 to put this
building in shape and then this
would only prove temporary.
He strongly advised the building
of a new building as the only
means of relieving the condition
permanently. The other State
officials also talked along the
same lines and the meeting was
given some idea as to how to
proceed to obtain funds available
for building a new building.
For the past five years the
School Board has had this prob
lem before them but because OF
the great expense entailed in
the erection of a new building
they have put off the PROPOSE
ton until it has become neces-
sary that action be taken. The
high school of Washburn has
been rapidly growing
The present building was
erected in the COS to care fol
about loo students il the High
school. This number has grown
year by year and the building
has been remodeled from time

Placed on State and Federal System
With No Funds to Complete 1t
Enormous Amount to be Expended on
Cross COulty Route from Ashland
to Iron River.


County koad and Bridge Com
mittee as well as others are be-
ginning to wonder just what ad-
Vantage it was to the South
Shore to have Route No. 13 ex-
tended from Bayfield, to Port
Wing, except that it is now
known as a part OF the State
and Federal Trunk Line system
and will be designated as such
on the official state map.
But the question that Ia puz-
zling everyone is where are the
funds coming from to complete
this route of travel or to even
make beginning ON this iln-
portant piece of highway.
According to a letter received
from the State Highway depart.
ment the past week by the Coun-
ty Road and Bridge Committee
thereshre no funds set. aside for
tlIis Important piece of road but
there il to be plenty of funds
for the cross county route from
Ashland to Iron River, the sun
of $l71. 900 having been desig-
mated to be expended on the
Ashland.I Iron River ronte COM
mencing at the southeast corner
Of 13-47 9 and extending wes. 70
Iron River. OF this amount
$l44, 900 is TO be expended by
the State and Federal Govern
ment while Bayfield, county will
be expected TO raise the sum OF
|S57, 900 for this one piece Of
roadway.
Bayfield, county's share for
this one piece OF work equals
more than the total which has
been raised in the county during
the past few years for all road
and bridge work in the county,
and the Road aud Bridge com
mittee are at q loss TO know
where the money is coming fron
without special bond issue
In laying out the cut offs the
State department.. according To
their map, are also going To
abandon the route from Ashland
Junction to Benoit, which IN
now OH the county system. and
substitute q route Oh the section
line between the towns of Eileen
Pllsen AM Keystone. This tie
road aud bridge committee con-
slider a needless expediture OF
money as the county road Is now
built on even grade while the
new route would traverse D.
county sparsely settled, cut with
ravines and holl0ws. A like
change has been made In the
northern part OF the county In
the town OF Po,t Wing. The
Bayfield, coun.y highway built
! last year on easy grade is to be
abandoned aud the road placed
along the shore through . coun-
try cut with hills and hoIlows.
This the com mittee hopes Is y
mistake on the part OF the
craftsman, because they say 1t
lis the most foolish piece Of road
building that could be attempted.
The Road and Bridge com.
mittee are making up their re-
uort to be mailed to the different
mem bers OF the Board so they
may have some light on the road
su bject before the annual meet.
ling to be held in December. 1t
would be we'll for the county
board mem bers to give the road
| O uestion their earnest cons.esr-
alton, that they may be pre-
pared for action at the annual
M eeting.

Mrs. Coin, Sr.,
Dies Suddenly

Mrs. Coin, ST., mother. of the
Coin brothers Of Duck creek,
passed away suddenly couple
weeks ago, from heart trouble.
Mrs. Coin, at the time of her
death, was preparing a little cele-
bration Of her son Barney's we'd
ding anniversary for the following
day, which was also her own
birthday, when the last summons
came without warning, we UNDER
stand.
The deceased was a homestead
er near the homes of her sons
and was we'll known to all the
first settlers of this community,
who will sympathize with the be-
reaved, and must, in large meas
ure, share in their affliction.
The remains were removed to
Wolf Point, to be shipped from
there to the old eastern home for
burial.

Uncle Sam Will Help
His Cripple Heroes

William Lindsay has been ap'
pointed Vocational Aide of the
Red Cross Home Service Commit.
tee OF Dawson County to assist
the Federal Board in reaching
every disabled man returning to
this county. In the near future,
Mr.. Lindsay will appoint an as
sistant at Circle to look after dis
abled men in this community. In
the meantime, all soldiers who
were disabled in line of duty are
urged to write to the Dawson
County Chapter of the Red Cross,
Glendive.
The American Red Cross wants
every disabled soldier in the coun-
try to know what Uncle Sam is
ready and eager to do for him.
AS an an act of simple justice,
urged by pride and gratitude, the
American Government is deter
mined that he shall haye "a fair
shake" in the battle of life to
which he is returning after being
broken and manned i'll the strug-
gle with autocracy. The Federal
Government will train him in a
calling in which he can overcome
his handicap, whether retraining
involves a four year college
course, or a few months shop ex-
perience-Uncle Sam will foot all |
the bills.
But there are thousands of Grip
pied fighters who are not aware
of their rights; to help them back
to independence, Congress has ap-
propriated 100000 for their re-
education if their disability pre-
vents them from returning to
thelr Old JOBS. congress passed,
without dissenting vote, the law
under which the Federal Board
for Vocational Education is
charged with getting a job, if he
will accept this help, for every dis
abled soldier or sailor entitled to
compensation under the War Risk
Insurance Act.
The Federal Board, is already ,
iunctioning, handicapped only by r
he difficulty of reaching all the
men entitled TO its assistance. To
help in this phase of the work, the
Board is enlisting the aid of the d
American Red Cross.

Circle High School Notes

We have heard from Brockwa,
with regard to the debate. They
object to debating the question il
regard to the League of Nation:
on the ground that if the League
is formed before the debate, it viii
be an advantage to the affirma-
tive; if the League is rejected il
will be an advantage to the mega
tive.
We do not think the objection
is valid because a debate is always
decided upon the points brought
forth, the manner of presenting
the argument, and the delivery.
The sides would be chosen before
the question is settled, so both
schools would be even on that.
Furthermore, Brockway cannot
be ready by May End. The only
other date we can possibly Civ
them will be May 9th.
We are now planning on giving
a Minstrel Show May 18th. w Q
