The state superintendant of
public instruction certified to
to the state auditor the various
amounts to be distributed to
the counties as state aid to
schools in proportion to the
number of pupils on the school
rolls. The total amount distributed this spring is $753,741,
compared with $7ol,47- a year
ag-o.
fnOctober another allottment
is to be made in which the total is considerably larger. The
amount distributed now is on
the basis of $1.90 a pupil, the
same as a year ago.
Morrison has 86 schools
which recieved aid and fared
very well in the amount given.
A comparison of surrounding
counties will give a clearer idea
of   Morrison's   apportionment.

played in Oberammergau.
Ober-amnnrgau is a small village in Upper Havana, and it
is known the world over as the
place where, every ten years,
is celebrated the performance
of the passion play of
Christ's crucifixion and ascension. The play usually takes
place on a large stage in the
open sky and lasts about eight
hours. It was always regarded
there as a strictly religious exercise, and, the barvarian villages, thru close study of the
many characters, have become
such perfect and finished actors
that the "Passion Play", as it
is now presented is one of great
and impressive beauty.
The version of this play on
canvas Sunday evening will
show all characters in life size,
and it will be worth one's time
to see it. JjTo pains hare been
spared to make it a perfect success.

Tuesday night was a cold one.
The thermometer showed eight
degrees below zero at eight o-
clock Wednesday morning, and
it is safe to say that there was
more suffering from cold Tuesday night than during any corresponding time this winter.
The high wind made the low
temperture almost unbearable.
We hope it was winter's parting shot that made us shiver
in the blast.
