TUITION IN
CITY GRADES
IS INCREASED
Fixed at $50 a Year by the
School Board, Dividing
Cost With Outsiders

Tuition to pupils from outside the
city attending the Bismarck grade
schools has been placed on fifty
fifty basis by the local school board.
The finance records of the Bis
marck board shows that it costs
about 500 per pupi! to maintain the
Bismarck schools each years. The
board, unwilling to raise the tuition
to grade pupils from outside the city
to the full cost and yet feeling it is
not justice to local taxpayers to ask
them to pay the cost, decided to fix
the tuition at $50 a year, or one
half the cost to the city of instruct
ing the pupil. The tuition previous
ly has been SIS. Under the new
plan one-half is payable November
l and the second half March of
each school year. According to in
formation to the local board the
city Of Fargo charges 500 for each
outside grade pupil, which is figur-
ed as near the cost of instructing
the pupil in Fargo. -
The school board also has pur-
chased $50 additional lockers for
the high school, to be used by pupils
in keeping books, clothes and other
articles. The great increase in the
enrolment has left the school with
out adequate facilities for storage
of these articles. There has been q
great increase in attendance of out
side pupils in the last few years.

Pretty Hard
To Beat These
Fish Stories

r. D. Hoskins' fish story is be-
coming famous.
When the genial Bismarck Ash
erman told of seeing a big
muskellunge stick his he d
above water in Leach lake, Min
nesota, and shake a three-pound
pike as dog would shake a rat,
he didn't know he'd started a
contest. Ed Allen and Rollin
Welch confirmed the Hoskins'
story few days ago. Now o: J.
Wynn Of Minneapolis writes that
he quite believes the story be-
cause he knows of two extraordi-
nary fish stories. And here they
are, in his language.
