THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1935 CHANGE IN SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NEEDED BY SLOPE COUNTY Sparsity of Population Creates Financial Problem Typi- cal in Western N. D. Editor's Note: This is another of a series of articles describing conditions or Tural schools in typical counties of the state, based on surveys made by J. M. Gillette, supervisor of the FERA rural research sur- vey. Slope county, typical of the west- ern livestock country, is in the process of reverting back to open range, and because of its peculiar circumstances, cannot maintain its present system of public schools, J. M. Gillette, su- Pervisor of the FERA rural research survey, Tuesday. For ‘the past several months, Gil- i Wins Scholarship é MARLIN CLINE Marlin Cline, senior in soils at the North Dakota Agricultural College at PREDICTS DISCARD OF TREE BELT FOR WOODLOT PLANTING Baker Believes Officials at | Washington Have Found Ori- ginal Plan impractical The 100-mile shelterbelt strip proj- ect will be discarded by the federal government and a wood-lot planting program substituted, Adjutant Gen- eral Frayne Baker predicted Tuesday upon returning from Washington, Baker said he believed officials at Washington have reached the con- clusion the original shelterbelt plan is impractical, and instead will in- augurate tree planting on each farm in North Dakota and areas of other states where the shelterbelt program Fargo, has been awarded the Sparks Memorial fellowship of $500. He is lette with a corps of workmen hhas!the second NDAC man in as many been making a survey of nine typical years to capture this coveted counties of the state, to determine}which is granted annually through their school status, and to show the Phi Kappa Phi fraternity to three trend of the counties from a school| outstanding undergraduate students standpoint during the past decade. Gillette found that in the county one-fourth of the rural school houses are not in use, while 44 one-room school houses have an average enroll- ment of 11 pupils. Po) of the county has de- clined 16 per cent from 1920 to 1930, ‘but appears to be aboot stationery at present at a density of 3.4 per square mila he said. Much Interest in Schools Enrollment in the schools has de- creased more rapidly than the school census, he said, although the num- ber of students completing the ele- mentary grades and high school is on the increase both in number and in proportion to enrollment. “Interest in schools and in educa- tion appears to be especially good but the financial situation is such that but for federal aid in payment of teachers’ salaries many of the schools must have closed,” Gillette said. He recommended elimination of many of the smaller schools, with establishment of a county-wide ad- ministration of schools, and establish- ment of two.county high schools, one at Amidon the other at 5 School indebtedness could be refi- nanced at lower cost, he declared. Outside assist e is necessary, he |, “to make possible the needed reorganization.” Costs High tion of pupils in the county, under its present system is costly, he asserted. Seventy-five pu- pils were transported last year in the entire county, 53 of them being in one-room . “Whe average cost of transportation was $15.82,” he pointed out. Total assessed valuation of all rural, consolidated, and classified schools in the county is $3,219,965, he said, while the total indebtedness is $175,226, with an average per district of $7,964. Marmarth school district, only classified school in the county has n assessed valuation of $262,356, and ® school plant valued at $120,000. Its debt is $68,373. “A new school building begun some years ago, stands unfinished,” Gillette explained. “The district is unable to finance completion of the building. ‘The county superintendent considers the completion of this school plant as the greatest need of Slope county schools at the present time.” To solve the school problem in the county, Gillette recommended three alternatives: Families must find some means of concentrating in strategic centers for educational advantages, thus reduc- ine the number of teachers necessary together with other expenses. New methods of instruction must be developed which will be especially suited to scattered students, such as traveling teachers or supervised cor- xespondence study.

The $500 going with the award may be used in graduate study at any uni- versity or college which the recipient may choose. Marlin’s first choice is the University of Wisconsin where he expects to continue with advance soil studies. His home is at Bertha, Minn. CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN NEARS COMPLETION Scouts Find Over Half of Resi- dential Premises in Sat- isfactory Condition Over half of the residential sur- roundings checked in the city-wide canvass made by the Boy Scouts, launching the Clean-Up and Paint- Up campaign, were found in satis- factory condition, Roy Neff, chair- man of the Lions club committee, re- ports. Caids whica were turned in by the scouts showed that over half of the prenises in the city were in good or- der and Neff predicted that, with the anticipated cooperution of the prop- erty owners, ihe rest would be put in shape by the time the re-check is made Saturday. When the re-check has been made, the cards will be turned over to the city commission. Premises not yet set in order will be taken care of by j city labor and the cost charged to the residents or owners. “Bismarck has a reputation as one of the cleanest cities in North Dakota to uphold and judging from the | splendid reception accorded the scouts on the initial survey, the peo- ple are out to keep this record,” Neff said. Ryder Hamro, newly-elected chief of the fire department, has directed the check of premises and alleys in the business district and expects to have all serious fire hazards and re- fuse piles removed by the latter part of the week. Burglars Kill Seven To Get $32,000 Loot Georgetown, British Guiana, May [pempelecrarer Guiana’s most shock- ing crime of decades, in which seven persons were hacked to death by bur- glars who fled into the jungles with $32,000 loot, remained unsolved Wed- nesday.

The militia bureau at Washington has approved an allotment of $63,090, Baker said, for new construction and improvement of the National Guard camp at Devils Lake. Work will be- gin at once, he stated, and will in- clude new warehouses, a garage, re- pair shop and an ‘administration building. The North Dakota National Guard will go into camp from June 8 to 22, inclusive. Requested Air Squadron A request for establishment of a Na- tional Guard «ir squadron in North Dakota also was-made by Baker while in Washington. He said the state was ideal for such a squadron. Ten other states also are seeking squadrons, he stated, but pointed out an act of congress would be necessary to provide such personnel, North Dakota also will be allotted Battery E, 185th Field Artillery, con- sisting of 66 men and four officers, Baker said. No money to organ- ize the new battery will be available until January 11, he stated, before which time a city will be picked at which the battery will be stationed. The National Guard personnel now numbers approximately 1,200 in the state. Additional equipment has been au- thorized for the National Guard in- cluding a new type cotton shirt for use with the new uniform instead of the present olive drab, and the garri- son shoe instead of the field shoe. Assurance that Fort Lincoln, Unit- ed States infantry post at Bismarck, was considered as a permanent fix- ture, also was given him by high army efficers, Adjutant General Baker said. The army has requested $85,000 for construction of four company officers quarters, a garage and a repair shop at the fort, he stated. While in Washington, Baker at- tended a conference of adjutants general from thoughout the country. Jury Delves Deeper Into Plane Tragedy Macon, Mo, May 8—(?)—A thorough-going coroner's jury delved deeper into the condition of radio equipment aboard the TWA airliner which crashed near here Monday with the loss of five lives. After devoting a day and a half to the testimony of witnesses, the jury demanded that additional witnesses be summoned after several of the jur- ors had expressed dissatisfaction with certain phases of the inquiry. One of those summoned was Mrs. D. L. Mesker, wife of a TWA pilot, and one of the passengers injured in the crash of the fog-bound “sky chief.” ‘The inquest was interrupted Tues- day while the jurors viewed the bod- jes of the victims, Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico; Pilot Harvey Bolton; Co-Pilot Kenneth Greeson; Miss Jeanne Anne Hillias and Mrs. Two of the eight injured still were reported in a critical condition Wed- nesday.

Dollar Chain Letter Brings Fraud Charge ‘Washington, May 8.—(4#)—Express- ing the belief tne chain letter scheme would collapse soon under its own weight, postal authorities Wednesday nevertheless sought to combat the latest. get-rich-quick plan on several fronts. In Colorado, Postoffice Inspector Roy E. Nelson is preparing his case against three Denver businessmen who pleaded not guilty late Tuesday to charges of using the mails to de- fraud. The three, Nelson contends, were involved in a dollar chain letter game. At Washington, Chief Postoffice Inspector K. P. Aldrich was said to be planning details of a nationwide investigation of the scheme. Already Postmasters throughout the country have been informed of Solicitor Gen- eral Crowley’s ruling that “a dime chain mail” is illegal because it vio- lates lottery and fraud laws. Minnesota Colonists Welcomed to Alaska Seward, Alaska, May 8—(#)—The first day on Alaskan soil brought re- newed enthusiasts for the Matanuska farming experiment to the colonists from Minnesota, as they sought ad- Jectives to describe the beauty of the snow-covered mountains surrounding Seward bay. While most of the children re- mained aboard the St. Mihiel because of the quarantine resulting from five cases of measles which developed dur- ing the voyage trom San Francisco, the parents were sightseeing here. ‘The actual work of the construc- tion of temporary tent homes in the Matanuska valley was gotten under way, meanwhile, by the first relief workers.
