In connection with the state
teachers convention which was held
at Great Falls this week, the Great
Falls Tribune issued a special school
section last Thursday. In this APP
peared the following story about the
Wolf Point schools, which was
among the few schools of the state
given write-ups:s
The schools of Wolf Point and
district No. As have made rapid
growth since 1912 when there was a
one-room building, scarcely large
enough to hold the 20 pupils then
attending, to the present when there
are two buildings and 800 pupils.
Outside the city there are nine rural
schools in which the enrolment is
from 100 to $50.
For the last seven years the Wolf
Point schools have been under the
supervision of Frank II. Livingston,
who came here from the Medicine
Lake schools. He is a graduate of
the Plateville, Wis, normal and has
only a small amount of work to COM
plete at Wisconsin university sum-
mer school to receive a degree. He
has been unusually successful in
building up the schools to a high
standard and creating strong school
spirit.
