COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
WILFRED E. VOSS, SUPT,
Since several new school laws have
been enacted by our last legislature,
new copies of the school laws will be
furnished to all of our school boards.
This will be done as soon as they are
delivered from the publishing house,
which is to be in time for use at the
annual school meeting. The date of
the annual meeting has been chang
ed from the last Monday to the sec
ond Monday in June. The change
takes elfect this year. Another
change of immediate interest is that
the .price of tuition under the
attendance law is changed from
seventy-five cents to one dollar per
week.
No doubt the directors will be
come anxious for their supplies at
this time. There will be no special
need for this, because all needed sup
plies (and information) will be dis
tributed as soon as they are availa
ble. However, your county super
intendent will be glad to have you
call at the office or write whenever
he can be of service to you.

In Annual Field Meet
Fully five hundred people turned
out to witness the sports in the sec
ond annual field meet held in
Dakota City last Saturday by
tho high schools of Dixon and
Dakota counties. The weather was
extremely disagreeable a forty-mile
wind was blowing and clouds of dust
greatly hindered the athletes in put
ting up their best performance.
However, fast time was made in
some of tho races and the two ball
games were thrillers.
The schools represented in the
meet were Newcastle, Ponca, South
Sioux City, Homer and Dakota City.
The visiting teams each brought a
crowd of rooters along to boost for
their schools, and though their en
thusiasm ran high at times, it was
shown in a spirit of good feeling.
Professors Jacobson, Rogers, En
gleman, Demel and Richardson, who
conducted the meet, deserve great
credit for the manner in which ev
erything was handled.

The first event on the forenoon
program was the baseball game be
tween Homer and Dakota City.
The boys played air-tight ball with
the exception of one inning on each
side when errors and loose playing
let four scores across for each team.
Otherwise the game was fast and
clean, considering the gale that was
blowing. Following is a summary
of the game:

By winning the greatest number
of points in the field event the South
Sioux City team carried home the
handsome silver loving cup provided
as a trophy for the winners.
The basket ball gamo between Ho
mer and South bioux Uity was
nostnoned from the morning hour
until 4 o'clock, in hopes that
the wind would subside, which
it did to some extent. The
game was piayeu at tne scnooi
ground and was hotly contested from
start to finish, as the score of 5 to 0
would indicate. Homer won this
event by superior play, ajid carried
off the handsome pennant provided
I for the winner.
The excellent snuwuujr mauo oy
the South Sioux City team is credit
ed principally to Ray Warner, whose
superior track work won 40 of the
58 points credited to tho team.
Byron Dorn, however, surprised the
spectators in tho milo run the last
event when he took the lead at the
start and maintained it for the en
tire distance. Ho was ably backed
by Warner and routs, who were
ready in ciuse he faltcrd, to protect
first and second places

tendent of the manual training de
partment of tlio Wayne schools, was
