Barn Burns

The large barn on the farm Of
Henry Miller in Z A'ban u" nship just
east Of the city, was totally DESTROYED
by fire last Friday morning. Mr.. Mil
ler. who was sleepinp on the porch
Of his house noticed the reflection
from the fire and was able to let the
live stock out ard save some harness.
Besides the building there was Z: big
loss o. hay and about 500 bushels Of
oats. The building WAS insured for
81 900 in the Evangelical company
but we understand the policy had ex-
pircd hut a short time ago. The mis-
fortune comes particularly hard on
Mr.. Miller, as he has been an invalid
during th~past wear and unable to at
tend to his regular duties on the
farm. The supposition is that the
fire was caused by lightning.

an Important event in Big Stone
county affairs, and even the first day
there was good attendance. The
display OF agricultural and horticul-

creditable and the live stock exhibits
also made a good showing. The man.
agcment had secured for amusement
some flying experts and automobile
racers. The fair grounds have
half mile race track on their location.
About the only criticism that could

against about all Of the county fairs,
and that sthe numberless fake games
of chance that are permitted on the
grounds and which are tolerated by
the management for the necessary
financial returns.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
START NEW YEAR
TWENTY-FIVE SCHOOLS STARTED LAST MON
DAY: TWENTY HAVE VITALIZED AGRI-
Culture. INSTITUTE THIS MONTH.

The rural schools in the county have
stated TO open their doors For the 49,
2O-21 school terms with albright out
look for successful year, according
to the county superintendent.
Practically all fthe schools have
teachers, many of them having been
signed up within the past few days,
and no shortage is expected. Twenty
schools have added the vitalized agri-
cultural training to their list of stud
les, an increase Of l3 over last year.
1t is planned by the teachers and the
school boards to serve hot lunches
where it is possible, a plan which was
tried ont and worked successfully last
year in a number Of the schools.
The average salary of the teachers
is about S12O, some of them drawing
$50 and so1ne as low as $1OO. Living
conditions are the same, while the
price of board and room has felt the
Fl. G. of l..
One Of the most radical steps taken
by the county Office in connection with
the state department of education is
the reporting of the children who are
absent more than three days at one
time. This has been neglected in the
past according to the report of the
state department who have statistics
from all over the state and is cause
of the illiteracy thruout the state. The
plan of the county superintendent,
Miss Johnson. is to send three notices
to the parents of the child, who is ha-
bituallv absent. after which the name
will be turned over to the states at
torney and the parents be delt with ac-
cort|ing to law. This is matter which
will receive much attention during the
year. as the state department has
given special orders to the county
yuperintendents that they send the
names of the children every week.
According to the records in the Of
flee of the superintendent the atten-
dance of the 2,4S2 pupils in the county
schools was far below what it should
have been. There were 227 children
who attended school less than 100
DAYS in many eases less than 4c days.
This is a serious condition and should
receive the careful attention OF every
parent.
