PUNCTUAL ATTENDANCE
CAMPAIGN IS ENDORSED
Supt. Miller of Agricultural School,
Speaks on Stricter Endorsement
of Laws

The Parents and Teachers Associ-
alton at it's meeting Monday evening
went on record as endorsing the ac-
tion taken by the teachers of the
Morris High School to enforce punct-
uality in attendance.
The faculty is employing stern
methods in an effort to reduce the
appallingly large number of tardies
and absences, and with encouraging
results. This calls forth occasional
criticism from parties who think the
methods very severe, but by the maj
ority of the public they are approved.
The program given by the club was
entertaining and instructive.
Troughout the discussion on the
Value of Punctuality in School At
tendance the Importance of cooper
alton between parents and teachers
was the keynote. Several of the
speakers pointed out that success in
school work as we'll as in business
depends upon punctuality. Those
who spoke on the subject were DR..
H. w. Seifert, J. G. Morrison, Mrs.
L. c.. Spooner, Miss slindee, Miss
Macomber and Supt. Utne.
Prof. Miller of the w. G. 8. A. in
a few well-chosen remarks en-
phasized the Importance of coopera-
ton not only between parents and
teachers, but between these two and
the church and municipal officials,
expressing desire to have all laws
relating to minors strictly enforced.
The practice in some localities of
selling cigarettes and allowing min
ors in pool halls we're strongly de-
nounced by the speaker.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Frof. Miller, Miss Tierney and men,
bers of her physical training class of
the W. G. S. A, assisting with the
entertainment of the evening.
After the program Rev. Symons
gave short talk on the county drive
for European Relief. Rev. Symons
pleaded for liberal contribution to
this cause, calling attention to the
great advantages enjoyed by those
who are living in America.
Refreshments served in the High
School cafeteria by Mesdames Andrew
Olson, Laschansky, Carl Buckentin,
O'Connell, Miss Benson, Mrs. Anna
Lund, Mrs. Oscar Dolven, Mrs. Haase
and Miss Anice Buckentin, closed the
evenings entertainment.

COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
FOR MORRIS PROPOSED
Will Incorporate Association to In
clude ALI of Stevens
County

At the meeting of the Morris Com
mercial Club Friday evening DR.. o.
L. Birch presented a tentative plan
for community hospital for Stevens
county. Put before the meeting for
vote the project was unanimously
endorsed and a committee selected to
work out the plan in detail.
Members of this committee are:
E. J. Jones, Chairman; E. c. Gilbert,
Secretary; H. H. Wells, S. Stewart,
VIM. E. G.. Saunders, Jr., J. H.

representative citizens from the other
towns and villages of the county who
will be asked to select committees
from their respective districts to Co
operate with the committe selected by
the Morris Commercial Club, in per-
fecting the plan.

to incorporate hospital association
with about 5000 or more members
at a membership fee of $1,000 or
more. This will provide fund of
$4,000 or $4,000 which, it is

hospital. Each member will then,
pay monthly assessment which to-
gether with the membership fees of
new members who join the associa-
tion later will take care of the run
ming expenses of the institution. All
members of the association will re-

NEW COMMISSIONERS !
DISTRICTS PROPOSED
Would Make Each District Of Equal
Area and More Equal
Population

The county commissioners at their
January meeting held last week made
preliminary arrangements for redis-
tricting the county into commission
ers' districts, and set January 28 as
the date for hearing on same. Such
step was made possible according to
Minnesota laws, by the taking of the
census last year.
The proposed revision is to divide
the county into four districts of four
townships each. At present the first
and fourth districts each contain
three townships and districts, three
and four each five townships.
Such redistricting would also
leave each district with population
more equal.
District No. / including the town
ships of Rendsville, Swan Lake and
Framnas has a population of 1928;
with the proposed addition of Nor
ris township the population of Dis
trict No. would be 1929.
District No. 4 including Hodges,
Moore and Horton townships and
Hancock village has a population Of
1861. Under the new plan Darnen
township would be added increasing
the population to 2253.
District No. 3 which now includes
Baker, Stevens, Synnes, Scott and
Darnen townships and the villages Of
Alberta and Chokio has a population
of 2249. By transferring Darnen
township into the second district the
population of the third. district would
be 1857.
District No. 2 containing Eldor-
ado, Everglade, Pepperton, Donnelly
and Morris townships and Donnelly
village has population of 2O26.
Morris township, which under the
plan would become part of the first
district has population of 4O6.
This would leave the fourth district
with population of 1920.
Morris city constituting the fifth
commissioners district would remain
as such under the new plan and is
the largest district according to pop
ulation, 1920.
