The meeting called by the school
board in the school house last Thurs
day evening drew a capacity atten-
dance. Chairman Louis Olsen gave
a good report from the recent school
officers meeting held in the Twin
Cities and then stated the purpose
of the local meeting, which was to
make possible recommendation for
reduction of expenditures in the con-
duct of the school. Supt. H. A. Peter
sen presented those present with a
complete statement of the school eX-
penditures and their budget system.
Chairman Olsen stated that there
were three places where it was pos
sible to make savings, namely: elm
mate the foreign language in the
grades; limit the transportation to
territory beyond 2 miles from the
school; let the children purchase their
own school supplies; and possibly
make a reduction in the salaries to
instructors. The first item, the for
eign language, was the only one that
received much discussion; and after
due consideration a vote showed that
the meeting was very much in favor
of retaining the foreign language,
The second, third and fourth items
were not discussed very much and in
each instance the meeting did not
favor any changes. Chris. Frederik-
sen offered the resolution which
was published last week over his
name in the Opinions of Others col
umn, and same was adopted by the
meeting
