The opening of the schools of dis- trict No. One this year marks a new era in the policy of the schools of the entire district. The teachers’ in- stitute. now in session, gives teach- ers inspiration for the new year’s work and makes it possible fon the board of education and the district superintendent to have a complete un- derstanding regarding the business relations of the teachers with the pate Tons of her respective schoo] and the board of education. There can be no doubt but that greater efficien- cy will be the result of this meeting and the teachers will go to their} work better prepared to meet their obligations to their environment and their pupils. The voters of district No. One at the annual meeting made it possible for the board of education to inaug- urate a closer union’ between the rural communities and the high) school at Grand Rapids py voting a levy of $3,000 to assist the boys and girls of the country to attend the district high school.

WANT COUNTY BANK ESTABLISHED of $250,000 to Build Roads —Would Tax Min- eral Rights. The Socialists of Itascacounty will put a ticket in the field this year, which covers all county offices, with the exception of sheriff, county attor- ney and superintendent of schools. About thirty delegates attended Saturday’s meeting and in addition to naming their choice for county officers! recommended sevéra] measures which they will advocate. Chief among these is a proposition to establish a county bank with the funds of the county the money to be loaned to the farmers and other realty holders at the lowest rate of legal interest, five per cent. Another measure which the Itasca county Socialists advocate is the plan to bond the county in the sum of $250,000 for roaad construction, It is pointed out that this would bring an- other $250,900 from the state fund, which would be augmented by the $500,000 which could be then secured under the provisions of the Elwell act, giving $1,000,000 for use in high- way building in the county. The party also recommends that mineral rights be taxed equally with agricultural and other lands of the county and that the schools be made socia] centers. The platform of the Nationa] and state Socialist party was formally approved. The candidates for county office named were: County commissioner district No. Four, Emil Litchke, Grand Rapids.

Granp RapiDs, Irasca County, MINN., Wepnespay, AUGUST 28, 1912 DIoTRIGT SCHOOLS TAKE THIGH RANK Report of Clerk and Treasurer for Past Year Given in Detail. DISTRICT EMPLOYES 72 TEACHERS Department of Public Instruction Holds That District May Pay for Transportation of Pupils. The clerk and treasurer of School District No. 1 have compiled their annual report to the patfons of the district, which ig published in this issue of the Herald-Review and contains some interesting data, show- ing ‘the volume of business trans- acted in one of the laragest school districts of the state. According to the treasurer’s fig- ures the receipts of the district from July 17, 1911, to July 18, 1912, were $173,411.44. The disbursements for the year were $125,757.30. Seventy-two teachers were on the pay roll for the year, the amount paid for salaries being $46,192.90. From the building fund there was $32,847.71, expended, and $2,194.60 Was used in repairs to school prop- erty . District No. 1 is unique in many ways, having a board of salaried directors to manage the affairs of the district, which comprises over 60 townships. The district is one of bad most advanced in many res- ey in ee northwest, being one the to comply with a anee of the Holmberg act, which gives special aid to consoli- dated schools. The directors are going to step further than any other district in the state in providing means for pu- pils from the rural communities to attend the high school. It is being planned to 4ssist children who have passed the eighth grade examination and who wish to attend the district high school by giving them $7.50 a month each, to help defray the ex- pense of board. A sum of $3,000 is being set aside this year for the purpose. The Grand Rapids high school is remarkably complete in the way of departments of practical instruction, carrying agricultural, damestic sci- ence, manua] training, normal work and a commercial course in addition to the usual] subjects of the average curriculum. For this reason the di- rectors wish to make the high school agssessible to those who are beyond the reach of transportation. The legality of the matter of the school district providing funds to pay the board of pupils was brought into question recently, but the de- partment of public instruction holds that it is within the jurisdiction of the directors to take such action where it is deemed advisable by them. ‘DIVIDES HONORS WITH VISITORS City Team Loses One and Wins One With Great Northern Play- ers Sunday.

Poor fielding allowed the Superior team to make the winning run in the sixth inning, and although the home boys tried hard, they were unable to push another tally across the pan. The best fielding feature of the game was supplied by Brandon in the first game» when he made a great Tunning catch of a drive to left cen- ter. He also led in stick work for the home team, getting two! singles and a double out of six times at bat. Olson for the Superior team made three singles and a two-bagger out of eight trips to the plate. All the pitchers did their share in keeping the playerg coo] by fanning a total of 32.
