has been offered clerical position.
Owen Nickel enrolled in our 9th
grade. last Monday. Moses Sayer
and William Markham enrolled in
our 1B southside. This brings the
regular attendance in the first grade
south to At. F'ifty-one were enrolled
but three have dropped out. A num-
Der have been sick and Miss Nelson
is kept busy trying to bring them up
to grade. 1t is impossible to give
the children of our first grades the
work that they should have because
of the over-crowded condition. The
Northside first grade has over 40. If
the enrolment in the public school
continues to grow as it has, the
problem will be one for the federal
government. AS it is many of the
states have had to meet it. In Mon
tana the districts and counties are
trying to wrestle with this great
problem. California, Oregon and
Washington are states that are re-
lieving the district taxpayer of the
heavy tax burden. We have a coun-
ty wide tax for the high school
then why not have state wide tax
for the elementary schools?
Reports have been sent me con-
cerning the work being done by our
graduates. These reports are o. k.

Last year Mr.. Jessen objected to
The late entry of many high school
students which was caused by the
work in harvest. This was remedied
ibis year by opening school later and
most of the work was finished before
school started. He suggested that
We demand 16 credits for graduation.
This suggestion is being worked out
although the state rules only demand
5 for graduation. Most of our
craduates have from 16 to 19 cred
