children to go to school, prosecutions
under the state compulsory education
law will follow. Some Of the viola
tions are said to be fragrant, while a
majority can be traced to mere neg
ligence on the part Of parents. No
distinction will be made, however,
and every case will be disposed Of in
dividually.
Nav Examine H. S. Students.
The matter of having Miss Emma
Potter, school nurse, examine high
school students, as we'll as pupils in
the grades, for physical defects and
impedi1nents, was discussed briefly
by the board and Superintendent
Gloor agreed to take this matter up
with Miss Potter and determine
whether she will be able to extend her
services to high school students.
Action as to Bills.
The board resolved to require all
bills for supplies and services for the
local public schools to be rendered
promptly at the end Of each month.
It was also decided that these bills
must plainly state who placed the
order and for what purpose the goods
or services were destined.
By unanimous vote OF the board the
local schools we're dismissed at noon
on Armistice Day, Thursday, to
enable the teachers and scholars to
attend the celebration at the Armory.
New Ulm review., 1920-11-17

An appropriation Of $4,000 was
voted the Nicollet County Farm
Bureau by the county commissioners
of that county at meeting held Mon
day of last week. This generous ar-
preparation, together with the impetus
given the Farm Bureau movement
by the addition of 700 new members
during the membership drive held
recently, will allow more intensive
extension work by the Farm Bureau
in our neighboring county. Aside
from this, there is state aid in the sum
of $1,000 and federal aid Of $500
available. 49,. 8rE
