his sixth year of successful service.
Surrey, though small village, has
for years past, given to the pupils of
its territory educational advantages
often lacking in a much larger place.
She has maintained, in spite of the
cost, a full high school course. Add
ed to this cost, has been that Of fur
nishing transportation to all the pu-
pills of the district. With reference
to transportation it can be said that
all the classified high schools of the
county, except Minot, which has no
territory outside it's city limits, have
been providing such transportation to
their pupils at public expense. Sur
rey can we'll be proud Of her educa-
tional achievements which are un=
doubtedly unsurpassed by those of any
village Of equal size in the state, Supt.
S. C. Anderson is at the helm of this
school and has four teachers to assist
him. In addition to the village school
the district operates two-room con-
solidated school in the eastern portion

the first eight grades is carried on
under the direction of the Misses Marie
and Cornelia Niedermeier.
AS new village back in 1907, Ryder
began its school work with a two
department institution. A new build
ing was erected a number of years
later which met all requirements for
some time. These quarters were out
grown and it was found necessary
to secure. another building for tenn
porary use but even then the housing
facilities we're inadequate and a large
addition to the schoolhouse was built.
Ryder with its wide-awake citizens
is progressing educationally as is evil
denced by the growth and continued
efficiency of it's schools. Supt. C. H.
Klaffke with six fellow workers are
in charge.
Carpio with it's good schools under
the direction of Prin. S. H. Miller and
five co-workers is forging to the front
in fine shape. That the people of the
district are alive to the needs of
good school and aware of the benefits
to be derived therefrom is shown by
the fact that large bond issue has
been issued to make sure the erection
Of school house which will take care
Of the wants of their children.
.Foxholm, like its sister to the north
west, has also bonded for the purpose
of erecting modern and commodious
building to take the place of the one
now in use. With the present quar-
tiers it is not possible to give any high
school work as but two teachers can
now be employed. When the pro-
posed new building is erected which
will be begun, as soon as the money
can be secured from its bond issue,
Foxholm will be in position to we'll
care for all pupils of its district. The
instructors of the school are Prin.
Anna NJ. Schwalier and Miss Irene
Tracy.
Burlington, the hustling little vii
lage on the 500 just west of Minot,
and the original county seat of Ward
county, has fine four-roomed brick
structure, which furnishes school
home for the pupils Of the village and
most of Burlington township. Under
the guidance Of Prin. M. L. Nelson and
his three elbow teachers, the school,
is doing very creditable work. p
Sawyer, in it's fine school home
maintains school system in which
its supporters take much pride and
we'll they may. Prin. A. j. Spacht
and his four assistants are doing
work which is highly pleasing to the
school officers and patrons of the
school. The district is composed of
the village and township of Sawyer.
Douglas, at the extreme southern
boundary of the county, is certainly
doing its utmost to provide for the
educational needs of the children of
the village and surrounding country.
Situated in the southeast corner of
section SO, Douglas furnishes excellent
school privileges for pupils of at least
five different school districts, three
in Ward and two in Mclean counties.
Its present structure is entirely too
small to meet the demands upon it and
the probability is that an addition
equal in size to the one now in use
will be built as soon as financial con-
ditions will permit. Prin. Troy J.
Wilson and corps of four teachers
are in charge.
Makoti. also of the southern por-.
ton of the county, has an educational
people. It's one drawback at this
time is its lack of room. The present
structure, which was erected several
years ago and which at that time was
thought to be large enough for all
time to come, is badly overcrowded.
Additional space will doubtless have
to be provided this coming year thru
rented quarters or the erection of a
suitable addition. Prin. o. M. Fraser
and seven other teachers constitute the
faculty.
Des Laos has one of the finest school
buildings ever erected in this section
Of the state and its people can proudly
point it out as their one single great
est possession. Within the walls Of
this brick structure is maintained
school system as sound and durable
