Do people visit the schools as much

Superintendent w. c. Stebbins Of the
city schools was asked. His reply
was
i CUES. they do. ! have been in
the schools of his city for 10 years
and l have not noticed any difference.
It seems about the same. The aver
age citizen never did take enough
personal interest in the schools, and
he doesn't yet"
Continuing he said that some peo-
pie show a surprising degree Of in

schools and make it a point to visit
regularly. but the greater part of
The school programs bring q good
many parents out. but they do not
get much of IN idea of what is ac-
tually being done on those occasions.
He said that it was impossible to
invite many people to programs at
the Junior high school on account of
not having any place to put them.
The rest of the schools of The city
have plenty of room with the excep-
ton of Winship. which is pretty we'll
filled.
' The superintendent stated that very
few people visit the high school for
the reason that the students do not
want their parents to go there. Their
idea is that if any Of their friends or
teachers see their parents attending
Rotations they think something is
wrong, 80 they tell them to keep
away.
At one time Grand Forks had Par

The price of a. license is the same

the brides and grooms Of 20 years

show that in those good old days
b~ridegrooms sought brides who were
younger than themselves.
In the license book Of IS years ago,
when Dakota still was a territory, the
