they were given rousing welcome
into the state of Montana, it being the
fret stop in Montana. Mrs. Wilson
was presented with several beauti
full bouquets Of flowers.
The President did not make any
speech, saving his voice for his two

possibly could. Only small portion
OF the enormous crowd that was pre-
sent, managed to get to the President

lucky enough to squeeze through the
crowd and shake hands with the
worlds greatest and most illustrious
statesman. Mrs. Larson got within
about six feet of him when the train

about the only other Circleite that

CIRCLE SCHOOL NOTES

The Circle Schools have opened
with a good enrolment but there are
several who should be in school that
| have not enrolled. Parents are asked
to see that their boys and girls enroll
at the opening of the term and at
tend all the year as the work is such
that the boy or girl who misses part
time or who starts late is likely to
loose their grade. The work requires
the whole of the school term to COM
plete it and the ones who only get
in part time are behind their classes
even though they may pass their grade
The laws of Montana requires that
all children under sixteen years OF
age who have not completed the eight
grade attend school the whole term
unless prevented by some lawful rea-
son. The school authorities have no
choice but must enforce the law or
become personally liable.
The new arithmetics and spoilers
have not arrived and the old books
will be used until they get here.

mary work. Miss Schreiner comes

This makes the county levy 80 mills
for 1919. Besides this each school
district in the county has it's separ-
ate school tax.
Thirty mills county levy may seem
big, but fact of the matter is taxes,
when based on the new percentage
of assessment, will be lower than
last year. The state levy is lower
this year than last, but there is an
increase Of two mills in the general
school fund, because OF new law pass
ed last winter. The board also had
to add one mill this year to take care
OF the classification Of lands.
The county tax levy in Dawson
this year is 33 mills.
