School Doctors.

Already medical inspection has been
introduced into a large number of
schools, and has resulted in a num-
Der of much-needed reforms. Tuber-
cular children have been segregated
and placed in special fresh air classes,
while children discovered to have
weak hearts are also receiving spe-
ciaI treatment in many cases. This
same medical inspection. moreover.
has revealed the appalling amount of
malnutritien which exists among
young school children. and the wide
spread establishment of school lunches
has been the result.
Europe was the first to realize that
the provision of a hot. nutritious
lunch to school children was as great
a need as the provisions of textbooks.
and school lunches were introduced
over there as far back as thirty years
ago. In 1898. the first school lunches
were started in this country. in Phila-
delphia, provoking widespread inter-
est and discussion. 1t was not until
1903 that New York opened lunch
counters in two public schools, and
then net on it's own initiative, but thru
the efforts of a private organization.
These Immediately proved so success
full that since then a fund of $4,000
has been appropriated to start a far
reaching school lunch system by
which good food, well selected and
scientifically prepared, will be served
at cost.
Other cities haze been equally pro-
sressiye in the matter Of school

VALLEY CITY WINS STATE CHAM
PIONSHIP BASKET BALL GAME

county had $194, 900 in a checking &C
count in the state bank, and when
checks and drafts on the fund were
not honored suit to secure the money
was begun. The $4,000 the county
still has on deposit on a checking ac-
count with the state bank will, it is
understood, be taken care Of by issu-
ing checks on the account for money
due the state for taxes.
The county commissioners announc-
ed when suit was started to secure
the $lJ4, 900 that no action was start
ed to secure the S164,9S3.26 on time
deposit in the state bank because no
demand had been made for that mon
ey. Since then this money has been
demanded by the county and the de-
mand has not been met by the Bank
Of North Dakota. What action. the
county commissioners will take in re-
gard to this fund cannot be learned
until the board meets again Friday.
An interesting feature of the action
of the county board in starting suit
against the state bank was letter
in the Ward County Farmers Press,
Nonpartisan league paper in Minot,
last week attacking the league mem
bers Of the board for not having faith
in the state bank. Four members of
the board, Chairman krantz and Com
missioners Spicher, Haldi and loft
ner are considered leaguers.
Letter in Press
The letter in the Farmers Press
follows:
Minot. N. d., March II, 1921.
Dear Editor:
| was greatly surprised to notice in
the Minot Daily News, that the four
league members of the Board of
County Commissioners, had approved
action to garnishee the county funds
in the Bank Of North Dakota, when
the Bank of North Dakota had over
S8S,O0O more deposited in the banks
of the county than the county had with
the State Bank.
1t is surprising that the League
Commissioners should initiate the
action of l. V. A. commissioners. 1t
looks to me as if the l. V. A. had more
influence upon our commissioners than
we have. They should at least con-
suited the men who elected them to
Office
1t seems very peculiar that the COM
missioners had SO little confidence in
the Bank Of North Dakota that they
should withdraw the funds of the
county from the State Bank, and ne-
deposit in the local banks before they
had heard all the evidence before the
bank investigation.
The general sentiment Of leaguers
that | have spoken with seems to be
that these commissioners should re-
deposit their funds with the State
Bank, as they are in the majority on
the board.
Are we electing men to the board
who are afraid of their own shadow?
Evidence has proven that the safest
place in North Dakota for your own,
or state and county funds, is in the
Bank Of North Dakota.
Yours truly,
w. STICK.

Margaret Delegates Against Recall

G. T. Wolseth, Geo. Holman, j. A.
Harstad and A. F. Thomas from Mar
garet township, were in the city We'd
nesday attending the meeting from
this district to select delegates to the
state meeting at Devils Lake. The
Margaret caucus last Saturday was
unanimous against holding recall at
this time, the Independent voters from
that district feeling that it would not
pay to force the issue too fast and be-
lieving that even tho the present
league officials were replaced, during
the short period the new officers are
in, they could not make very sub
stantial improvement in conditions.
On the other hand they are certain
that there will be a sweeping victory
in another year if matters are allowed
to remain as they are.
