CITY AND RURAL SCHOOLS OPEN
18th; GOOD YEAR in PROSPECT
Increased Attendance Probable; Many Outside Stu
dent Applications; Teacher Corps Complete Ex-
cept Two Rural Places; High School and Northside
Buildings Put in Best Condition Ever During the
Vacation.

Back to school" is the ruling
thought with hundreds of local
students and a corps of teachers.
Many are now here. The others
will nearly all arrive by next
Monday. Some outside students are
now here, others have made ar
engagements.
Janitor Reichert and other work
men have put both the north and
southside buildings in spick and
span condition. Every part was
thoroughly cleaned, walls were
kalsiomined, wood work and desks
vanished IT painted, floors pol
ished and three new steel ceilings
put on. The high school building,
even when new, was not in such a
completely finished condition as
now.
Supt. F. H. Livingston return
ed last week from his post gradu-
ate work at the University of Wis
consin and is laying plans and
surveying the prospects for a big,
busy year. He says applications
for high school enrolment from
students outside the district and
county are already in excess of any
past year. How to take care of
them will be a greater problem
than ever. Most of the former high
school teachers have again signed
contracts. Miss Wahl is detained
by sickness, Margaret Randall will
substitute. Two new ones T
Rachel Jea Taylor who replaces
Alice Olson, and Dale Bohart who
succeeds Ray Doe. Miss Taylor
graduated from Wolf Point high
about five years ago and has since
completed a thorough course at
Virginia teachers college, East
Radford, Va, and has been teach
ing in a junior high city school.
Dale Bohart is a Bozeman State
college graduate with a good scho-
lastic and athletic record. Super

LUTHERAN'S PROGRAM,
PICNIC, BIBLE SCHOOL

A Bible School program was Civ,
en- at the First Lutheran Church
in Wolf Point Sunday Sept 4.
Schools from Frazer Woods, Di-
vide and Wolf Point were pres
ent to take part in the service.
The children rendered a program
which consisted of recitation of
Bible verses and singing of Cos
pei hymns. A sermon was given
by Odean Monson who has taught
the last nine weeks of Bible school.
This program marked the compile
ton of the summer Bible school
term which consisted of thirteen
weeks. School has been held at the
following school houses: Waska,
Victory, Woods, Divide and the
churches in Wolf Point, Frazer and
Trinity chapel. A total of one
hundred and fifty pupils have been
enrolled in the thirteen week term
of Etble School.
Folh-Ing the morning service a
picnic was held at the Wolf Point
Bridge for all the children, par
ents, and friends. The weather was
ideal for picnicing and a large
crowd was present to enjoy their
picnic dinners together.

OFFERS HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT
TO MATCH MODERN BUILDING

In accord with a motion made
and passed, President Jensen of the
Lions, c%onfering with President
Camrud of the Commercial club
will select a committee of five. AT
the time this is written the com
mittee has not been named. Messrs
Jensen and Camrud are consulting
with others and proceeding care
fully to secure a committee who
will be active, and interested in
the enterprise.
From Terry
Margaret Beddor is from Terry,
only a hundred miles south of
here, where she has been located
eight years. A physician located in
Terry built a hospital and Miss
Beddor was in charge. Health con-
siderations compelled the physician
to move away. Later the hospital
burned. The county took the sit
uation in hand and built a large
hospital and Miss Beddor furnished
it and rented it from the county
with an agreement under which
she took care of county cases.
Now the town finds itself with
but one doctor, a young man who
does not take cases, it is said, that
require surgical operations of a
major character. This greatly re-
duces the number of cases brought
to the hospital. Miss Beddor seeks
a larger field for her services, and
opportunity to make use of at least
the greater portion of her valuable
stock of equipment. Miss BeddOr's
mother is associated with her in
conducting the Terry hospital, hav-
ing charge of the housekeeping
and kitchen. Reports indicate they
both stand high in the community
where they are we'll known.

ing in Wolf Point suitable for hous.
ing the same-that, in brief, is the
offer made by Margaret Beddor, a
graduate nurse of long practical ex-
perience.
Miss Beddor was here several
days to consult with businessmen,
and officials of the Commercial
club. Monday noon she was a guest
Of the Lions at their regular noon
luncheon. She explained her prop
osition and the subject was quite
thoroughly discussed. Several men,
bers talked. There was deep inter
est and genuine enthusiasm in a
project aimed at a real need of the
community. President Jensen called
on DR.. Cloud and DR.. DeWane both
of whom went into the matter
frankly and made it plain that a
hospital was a commercial benefit
to a community and that there
were many beneficiaries besides
the physicians.
The point was stressed that a
modern hospital was an essential
part of any city, large or small,
and was an important factor in at
tracing people seeking a suitable
place to make a home.
1t was generally admitted that
the opportunity to get a hospital,
furnished with the best of equip
ment was rare; and that the pres
emit was a time when building
could be done at low cost, in case
no building could be secured suit
able to remodel.

Your school board and superin-
tendent have just completed the
most important of tasks-the selec-
ton of teachers. If you have a va
cancy today o apply.
Butt isn't a question of just
getting a teacher. Many who apply
can not quality; others will not
accept the salary which we a
pay; others lack the training we
require.
Careful selection of teachers is
the most important function of
the school board and the superin-
tendent. This is particularly true
in these critical times when only
the best of teachers can get results
that will satisfy the patrons of the
school and the community.
It was never harder to secure
the best. The fact that there r
many applicants makes even mor

difficult the selection of the best
qualified. In spite of the fact that
our low salaries have limited our
choice, we have tried to select
those with the best training, the
best experience (if any, the best
personality, the highest ideals of
what constitutes real teaching. How
we'll we have succeeded remains
to be seen.

WORLD SERIES
STANDS | TO |
LEAGUE REMNANT DEPENDS
ON 3RD GAME. HERE NEXT
SUNDAY
VIDA TRIMS CULBERTSON 80
AFTER LOSING 1ST ONE
FIVE TO SIX

The Culbertson and Vida County
league base ball teams are making
a real local world series" of the
three-game struggle for the hon
or of floating the County pennant
during the next year. Vida won the
first division of the league sche-
dule, Culbertson the second divi-
sion. According to pre-arrangement
the seasons pennant winner is de-
cided by three games-one on the
home grounds of each winner and
the third if necessary, on neutral
grounds.
Hot One Coming UP
The first of the series, played at
Culbertson, was closely contested
and went to the home team, after
playing II innings, 6 to 5. The
second game, at Vida, was won de-
cisively by the Vida team, 8 to 0.
Wolf Point was agreed to as the
place for the decisive battle, and
will begin at the ball park in the
Stampede grounds at $3.50 Sunday,
the 18th.
Box scores Of both games, below,
show how the contests were lost
and won. Dye, at his best, was the
particular star of the Vida bunch
last Sunday. The week before hard
hitting by Culbertson and errors
by Vida told the tale. The teams
are not permitted to strengthen
their lineups for these games and
are restricted to their regular
rosters of eligibles. A horde of
rooters are sure to attend both
teams to the scene of the struggle.
Local fans can sit back and enjoy
the sport and yell encouragement
to both clans.
Double Header

weeks ago between Malta-Saco and
Wolf Point "a hangover from last
year, there will be a double-header

ta-Saco VS.. Wolf Point at 1870;
Vida VS.. Culbertson at $3.50. Two

had a championship game of their

1t was a fast, thrilling game not
entirely free from errors but punct-
uated with flashing plays, great
pitching in the pinches and some
timely hitting and smart fielding.
1t was the brilliant, steady, heady
box work of Buzzetti of Circle
that deserves a major share of the
credit for the Montana victory. The
work of Hayes of Circle behind
the bat was also high class. Han
son of Poplar got two hits. Captain
Brandon made a two-bagger. Vein

run. Data for a box score is not
