tions law, and laws helpful to stock
shippers and farmers.

School District Votes
to Purchase More Land

The total vote cast iii the special
school election held here last Sat-
r~day evening was a hundred ninety
six, one hundred nineteen in favor of
the purchase of the additional grounds
to be used for school purchases and
seventy-seven opposing said purchase.
This result authorizes the Board OF
Education to proceed with the pur-
chase of the lots east of the present
school ground and is also an indica-
ticn to the City Council that the vot-
ers approve of the vacation of that
part of the street now separating the
two sections of the play ground.
While the vote was extremely light,
the majority vote is sufficiently large
to clearly indicate the wish OF the
School District. In recognition OF
the action taken the Parent-Teach-
ers Association went on record Mon
day as ready to purchase suitable
playground equipment. These grounds
will also be used as summer play
ground by the City.

MONDAY EVE. MEETING DE-
CIDES WORK FOR NEXT YEAR;
PLANS DISCUSSED AND PRO-
GRAM GIVEN.

A meeting of interest and import
ance to all school patrons of Redwood
Falls was held by the Farent-Teach-
Mrs. C. M. Showalter, president of
the Association, presiding. An ex-
cellent program was given and there
was considerable discussion as to the
policy and projects for next years
work. AS a result Of this discussion
it was decided that the Association
should next year make the purchase
of play ground equipment its main
objective and that it should also ar
range to sponsor clinic for children
of pre-school age. Following the
program light lunch was served by
the women members of the faculty
who were the hostesses of the even
ing.
Among the projects discussed in
addition to the one approved by the
voters Of the Association were the
finishing of the cafeteria and the pur-
chase of the additional equipment for
the gymnasium. In view of the in
creased playground space it was the
;oninion of the majority that much ad-
ditional equipment for the play
ground would be almost necessity
and that the Association should fur
ther the purchase of it. The arrange
ments for the clinic of pre-school age
children are pending word from the
State Health Association as to when
the services Of a specialist can be
secured Expenses contingent upon
the holding of this clinic will be paid
by the Association.

cluded two very interesting talks,
Mrs. ElsE. Lang talking on the week
day religious instruction in the
schools, and Coach Henry Hoffert
talking on athletics as an aid to
character building. Clarence Keefe
gave his prize-winning Defamation

made at considerable sacrifice of
his business interests since he was
