social agencies Of this city met to
discuss the need and possibility of
organizing local unit, to work in
conjunction with the Federation of
Social Agencies OF Stearns county.
This organization came into be-
ing sometime ago In st. Cloud in
response to a call made by the Ju-
venile Court and the Child Welfare
Board OF the county. It is the plan
to organize units in each city and
village OF the county so that the
work OF these agencies might bet
ter be co-ordinated.
This unit was organized in this
city that evening with the follow
ing members: Miss Inez Patterson,
Mrs. L. L. Kells, Mrs. p. r. Davis,
Miss Smith, o. l. Larson, Mrs. w.
A. Kohl, DR.. J. A. Dubois, e. w. Oh
son, l. T. Lovik, Rev. L. e. Kemp
tom and Rev. ]. +. Schumacher. It
was unanimously agreed that this
unit could do much toward elm
mating undesirable conditions in
this city and Uould serve effectual-
~ rs a central agency through
which the welfare problems could
be handled or passed on to inter
ested groups.
Judge Ahles, Probate Judge Of
Stearns county. who Is sponsoring
this movement, came to this city
last evening, Wednesday. and with
other county workers explained in
detail the set-up and its possibili-
ties. This meeting was held in the
Senior High School at 7:3O.

Splendid Gathering We'd
nesday Evening

On Wednesday evening about
eighty men and boys gathered at
the Methodist church to enjoy the
annual Father and Son banquet. At
the appointed time the fathers and
sons were invited to the dining
room where the ladies Of the
church had splendid dinner in
waiting.
Following the dinner. a program,
unique in its presentation, was en-
joyed. The program was given in
the nature OF a radio broadcast, in
which each number was given over
q loud speaker, which was hooked
up to a radio.
Following the usual Introductory
remarks, news bulletins, etc., CIV
en- by Mr.. Easton, Frank Bunker
was introduced as Kate Smith. He
was q trifle under size and the
good looks were missing. Joyce
Lewis of Long Prairie, and Geo.
Fish, OF this city, both gave very
good talks. Mr.. Fish compared the
life Of a boy 65 years ago with that
Of the boys OF today.
Richard Butler was introduced
as Shirley Temple and Mr.. Easton
gave a clever impersonation Of
May West. Both Of these numbers
were enjoyed and both were given
in costume.
The guests then sang two verses
Of America" and DIR. Paul Hanson
played a cornet solo and followed
with taps to end a happy and en-
joyable hour.

22nd Article Of School Ser.
les Contributed by
Miss Holden

The teaching of English in the
grades Is one Of the most import
ant tasks for the school. It strives
to train the child to express him
self in simple, well-constructed SEN
fences with proper regard for cor
rect punctuation.
Although the goals for oral and
written expression are practically
the same. much more time Is devot-
ed to training oral language. This
is q logical arrangement when we
consider how much more oral rath-
er than written expression is
used In the first grade no time
is devoted to written language. In
the second. third, and fourth
grades four-fifths of the language
work is oral while in the fifth
and sixth grades, two-thirds of
the language time-allotment Is CIV
en- to oral work.
Perhaps one of the most diff
cut problems confronting the Ian
guage teacher is to make the child
conscious Of the necessity for cor
rect oral and written expression at
all times. There should not be one
language for the school and anoth-
er for the home or playground but
rather a Acarry-over" Of correct

Local Ali Clubs
Receive Awards
Given In Recognition of Splendid
Work Accomplished During
The Past Year

Members Of the Gopher Prairie
and Raymond-Ashley Al Clubs
are rejoicing in the fact that their
clubs received a Seal Of Achieve
ment, given in recognition OF the
splendid work accomplished during
the past year. This award was CIV
en- to four Stearns county clubs,
the other two being the Albany
Clingers and the Lynden Go-Get-
tiers.
The award is given on the basis
that each club has a charter and
that regular meetings were held
throughout the year; that each
club held either a local achieve
ment exhibit or showed at both the
County Fair and Achievement Day;
and that each had either a demon
stration or judging team and that
from 95 to 100 percent Of the MEM
beers finished their projects and

all life situations.
How are these habits establish
ed? First, the use Of good English
is required not only during the
language period but in arithmetic,
geography, and history alike. Sec
ond, formal drill Is employed to
establish these habits. Too much
emphasis and Importance. how
ever, cannot be placed on drill
alone. Third, numerous opportuni-
ties for oral and written express
sion in life situations are provided.
What, you may ask, are such life

S0Mk Centre Won at
Whist Tournament
Locals Split Season With Grey
Eagle-Will Play Off Tie
At LATER Date

Twenty-six whist players from
this city motored to Grey Eagle last
week Thursday evening" and con-
quered like number of players
from that village. The final score,
after the smoke of battle had clear
ed away, was So to 81. Then these
friendly enemies partook of splen-
did food, and agreed that a most
enjoyable evening had been spent.
In recent game in this city the
players from Grey Eagle were vic
torious, hence a tie exists. This tie
will be played off in the near fu-
ture, or as soon as the new Grey
Eagle hall is completed.
Grey Eagle won here by points
and Sank Centre won there by six
points. which still leaves the locals
one point to the good. It is said,
however, that Grey Eagle contribu-
ted to the victory of Sank Centre
in Thursday evenings play. OF
course, we're not going to tell how
that was done. Even though Fred
Mossman did lose all Of his games,
it is said by those who know, that
that was not the cause Of Grey
Eagles downfall.

Special Meeting Monday At
ternoon Attended By
Twenty-Five

Last Monday afternoon twenty
five electors OF the Sank Centre
School District met at the school
house to attend special meeting
called by proper and legal notice
for the purpose Of ratifying past
acts OF the Board. A motion was
presented ratifying and validating
land sales and purchases made by
the school board in the past. The
motion carried and the meeting
was adjourned. Owing to misunder-
standing as to the purpose Of the
meeting and the manner in which
1t was conducted, L. L. Kells, CITY
Attorney, has prepared the follow
ing article, in order to clarity the
situation:
THE Sank Centre School District
was created by an Act Of the Leg
islature passed in 1859 and since
that time various laws have been
passed which affect the powers of
the School District and its Board
of Directors. Tracing out the effect
Of the various new laws, on the
AA6ASS Va C1S 06uh SCuITc 0CllOOl
District, Is a rather complicated
and difficult process.
'The Directors oe the School
Board have at all times since the
organization OF the District in 1869
purchased and sold real estate
without any vote of the electors Of
the District and have always sup
posed and assumed that the Board
had such authority.
Matters came before the Board
recently which they referred to an
attorney for an opinion and in con-
nection with these matters the
Board was advised that it had no
authority to either buy or sell the
real estate of the District, without
an authorization OF the electors.
TN order to correct the situation
the meeting Of the electors, held
last Monday, was called and all Of
the real estate transactions begin
ming in 1883 and continuing down
to the present time were placed be-
fore the electors for ratification,
confirmation and authority.
The lands involved include part
Of the ground upon which the pre-
sent high school stands, the play
ground, which Is west Of the school

Plans For
New Bridge
Now Ready
Contract Will Be Let Be-
tween May 18th and
June LIST
SPLENDID STRUCTURE
To Be Built With Three
Spans-40 Foot

SPLENDID STRUCTURE

Dr. "A. II. Moynihan, DR.. III. F.
HennemanI L. L. Kells, George
OGara, John McGibbon, w. M.
Parker, Art MacDermond, Ed He
din and w. D. O'Gara motored to
Minneapolis Monday where they
met with M. J. Hoffman, engineer
in charge Of bridge building for the
State Highway Department. The
purpose of this meeting was to
gather information relative to the
new bridge, which is to be con-
structed over Sank River on Main
Street in this city in the near fu-
ture.
A tentative plan of the new
bridge Is in possession of the Wa
ter, Light and Power Commission.
It will be constructed Of concrete,
with q forty foot roadway and six
foot sidewalks on each side. The
structure will he III feet long, with
three spans, and the side ratings
will be of iron grill work.
The work will be done by con-
tract, which will be let by the
State Highway Department some
time between May 18th and June
LIST. AS soon as possible thereafter
work on the structure will be be-
gun, and it is estimated that it will
take about two months to complete
the job.
The matter of labor on this pro-
ject will be handled in about the
same manner as that on the sew
age disposal plant in this city.
Workmen will be selected by the
Federal Employment Agency in St
Cloud. For the reason that this is
state project, labor, however, will
not be confined to Sank Centre, as
it was on the disposal plant.
The Starbuck Engineering Co.,
has been employed by the Water,
Light and Power Commission for
the purpose of co-ordinating the
work on the dam with the bridge.
H. T. Hagestad, representative Of
that firm, was also in session with
the State Department engineer on
Monday, with the purpose Of plan
ming possibilities for repairs on the
dam.
The State will put in Golfer
dam above the bridge, and this
will afford a splendid opportunity
for the Water, Light and Power
Commission to do the necessary
work to put the dam in good con-
dition.
The members Of the Commission
and the gentlemen accompanying
them, were given a splendid and
courteous reception at State High
way Department headquarters, and
from the plans they found that the
new bridge will be a splendid i'm
provement. It will be wide enough
to. carry any traffic which may
present itself in the future.

house and the property owned by
the District and having a front on
Main Street; also, an acreage tract
near the City Water tower which
was at one time required in order
to obtain an appropriation from
the state for the maintenance of
an Agricultural Department, but
which was sold to the Old Peoples
Home, when the appropriation was
no longer given and the Agricultur-
al Department was discontinued.
I'm matters Of this kind the cleo
tors Of the District are called to-
gether in a meeting which Is car
RED on, according to law, in much
the same manner as a town meet
ing. The law provides that the Sec
rotary Of the Board of Directors of
the District shall act as Secretary
Of the meeting and that the cleo
tors present shall choose someone
present to be chairman. Any mat
ters to be considered are then
brought before the electors and are
acted upon by motions made and
seconded or by passing resolutions
or taking whatever action the sit
uation may require.
There is no provision Of law for
a ballot election with polls being
open for a specified length Of time,
which procedure Is provided only
for the election Of members Of the
School Board. Until the voters meet
and a motion or matter Of that
sort is presented, there is nothing
for the electors to act upon.
"At the meeting last Monday a
motion was presented ratifying and
confirming the action taken by the
Board Of Directors in purchasing
and selling properties and this mo-
ton was carried. AS this was
special meeting at which no bust
ness could be transacted, excepting
that covered by the Notice Of the
Meeting, no otner business was or
could be presented.
THE action taken at this meeting
applied only to past transactions
where purchases or sales Of real
estate had been made by the
Board. It does not authorize the
Board to make sales in the future
and whenever the School Board
believes 1t necessary, or expedlent,
to either buy land or to sell any Of
the land now owned by the District,
a meeting Of the electors will be
called and the matter will be hand
led as the electors at that time
determine and direct"
