Dakota will soon have to call for a let

increasing. The railroads are so crowd

they can bring nothing else, and it will
be a question how to feed and shelter

Ed. ucadku:—Since the notice of ray

stocking Lake Usury, 1 have received
many inquiries in regard to them, and
take this method of replying, and also of
furnishing some In formation in regard
to this fish, for I should only be one of
many of our citizens who should inter
csQthimscivtH in stocking the many
lakes in our county with valuable fish.
As it can be done at a small expense I
hope the time v t rar distant when
either the com; u oners or the people
will take it in ho d, for when done it
will add thousands of dollars to the
revenue of our citizens. Especially

The following article lately published
in the Industrial Itevlew will describe
the nature and habits of this food fish,
and 1 bcsjanik fui it a careful perused.
“The Fish Commissioner has done
much toward Increasing and dissemin
ating this class of food throughout the*
country. The trcmMe has ,l>een to get
u fish adapted to the necessities of ail
sections. The evidence Uaceitwiilating
to prove that in the*German cnip we
have a food-fish capable of furnishing
almotsl unlimited supplies at very little
cost. This fish is oi especial value to
farmers, as it will live in nouds which
become so warm that no other fish can
exist in them. It is unnecessary t<» en
large upon the added comfort it would
be to a farmer if ho could go out and
take from ids pond a five or six-pound
carp which would give him and his
family a good dime r. Any ordinary
nond ’will do for earn. An exeavatioh
in the course of a creek, dammed at the
lower end with a grating, so that a flood
will not carrv tl.e fish away, answers
perfectly. The carp will eat atm »st
anything, amt a pond of four square
nxls in extent vvil I furnish all the fish
food a family wants. Carp grow from
the egg to three pounds in one year.
They multiply rapidly, a single female
yielding half a million eggs in a year.
They spawn in May and June. In the
wilder they burrow in the mud and re
main dormant, neither making or losing
growth. In the spawning season they
must l»e fed, or they will destroy the
spawn. At other times they need not
bo fed. unless there are so many of them
in the pond that the aquatic vegetal ion
and supplies brought down by the feed
ing stream are insufficient. T?»eo is
scarcely a doubt that ucnrp-p* ml vould
be a profitable adjunct to nearly every
farm.

A southerner speaking of the tonicity
of northwestern air, said that when he
arrived in the Northwest he felt like

“It is a strange thing,” said a trave
ler, “but I have never yet met a surly
dog in North Dakota. The climate
appears to have a good effect upon them.
There are many cuninuu wUoua fu<*«a

they possess the attributes or the bull
dog in abundance, but w lien the stranger
siiee.ks to them, instead of curling up
their lips and uttering the growling
note of warning, they wag their tails
ami express friendship. It is a remark
able fact, but the climatic inliuence is
very beneficial.”

The New School Laws.
We have received many inquiries in
regai d to the school law passed by the
last legislature. The laws has not yet
been published; but to satisfy those
who are interested, as all are, we publish
the following circular from (ien. W. 11.
11. Beadle, Superintendent of Public
Instruction for the Territory:
Office Sunt, of Public Instruction,
Yankton, March 10, 1888.
To Oorxr\ Sri’KIMNTKNUKNTS:—-
The legislative assembly at its session
ju»t closed passed important laws relat
ing to education. These will be printed
at once, and the general act to provide
for the common schools sent to you in
pamphlet form in four weeks. Mean
while a brief statement of some of its
features is necessary for your guidance.
1. You will complete the present
school year under the present law, and
the districts further continue under that
law, except as her* inafter acted, until
the school townships are fully organized.
2. For the reports of distiicv clerks
for the present school year I can now
funush you the necessary blanks. This
could not be provided before. The ap
propriation now provides for it. Please
order at once tlie number actually re
♦ * * • • *
Ut
3. I'll© reports are not expected from
oounty superintendents by May Ist, as
some nave thought from funner circular,
but unless you collect every district re
port by that time you will fail. Do not
fail, but complete that and tie ready for
the important duties that follow.
4. The general law was approved
March Bth, nut districts are temporarily
continued. The Act provides that
every county shall tie bv the commiss
ioners divided into school townships
which are the unit of school organiz
ation, and all school affairs within such
are under one tioard of three members
chosen by the |ieople at an election iu
June, Tlsere are no districts or divis
ions within the school townships except
by schools. Briefly, the taxes arc uni
form, the schools equal and all funds
in hand of on*' board, which hires all
tea* hers, builds all houses ami directs
sclu*>) affairs. Ea *h head of family
sends to the school he prfeers. or pact
of the famby may attend one & fund
and part another, under tle proper
regulations. Yet the patrons of each
school hold meetings and have some
powers consistent with the general good,
and they yearly elect a Moderator, who
hap advantageous powers for Uie
gl‘ho< *l.
This Jaw practically goes ipto effect
iu June or by July * B t, but from the
operation of it the following counties
are excepted until their Boards of
County Commissioners decide that the
condition of school affairs in each is
ft* tQ pandit the execution of the

law therein. Those counties are, Clay,
Turner, Lincoln, Union, Yankton,
Hutchinson, Minnehaha. Moody,
Brookings, Deuel, Codington, Chhh,
Oraud Forks, Walsh, Pembina. Barnes !
and Lawrence. In these however, ail,
the more general features of the law
have effect. The general features of |
the township system are given in the
pamphlet entitled Dakota Schools, pub- 1
fished a venr ago. The law is very full 1
and explanatory. It carefully read it i
w ill answer your intentions and make j
plain the duty of all. It ends, let us
hope forever, the formation and alter-,
ationpf school (UstrhMsaml their Numd
aries, which require so much time ami
caused such universal friction. It lifts
the management of schools into a higher
plane and if the people wil' el- eta town
ship Uwrd of tnbgrityand fair capacity
The school# will all he improved. It
jeji ves the superintendents free to do
their proper work.
We express the hope that it w ill go
into effect in all the counties this year,
wltere a choice is left. *; lx sunk
vour favor for it, ami the favor or ail
friends of public, fixe schools. Let me
suggest also that you await the careful
study of tne law lx fore you plan the
boundaries of the township. Be not
confined to land townships. Make them
large, and for tin* g*xxl of seh.ot !s. in
shape, size and relations. They are
nearly peiiuauent und ca.ioot lx* easily
changed.
Hereafter the oaths and bonds of all
districts ami township school officers
must be tiled with the county clerk,
and tl«'.*se in hands of district clerks
must be forwarded it in force. All the
general features of the present art re
late both to districts and school town
ships, unless inapplicable to the former.
5. The law authorizing school dis
tricts to issue tw.nda remains in force
win*re the school districts continue;
and an act confers like |x>wers ui«on
ichool townships, w ith special authority
to issue r.ll the bonds which districts
were by special law authorized to Issue,
fUX’O’dlng to the terms o| such laws,
and to extend 'he proceeds for thesuine
purpose within the same boundaries.
I advise that districts do not issue
bonds except in the counties named as
excepted.
(5. The law does not effect in an,
important way the txamls of education,
independent districts, etc. They ar<*
governed by tlieir special laws. It is
regretted that no general act w as passed
for them.
7. Four months of school are requir
ed each y» ar. and a:qinauy as six months
if resource# permit.

thousand dollars valuation and fifteen
pupils are requin d to build and furnish

if. This office is not authorized to
furnish all blanks for reports, including
clerks, treasurers and teacher'*. Only
those for clerks can lx* furnished for
this spring. Those tor teachers will
follow noon.
12. The subject of|jimnmts,s? funds
and reports is thoroughly icvised and
harmonized. This will appear clearly
from the law. Until April Ist go for
ward as at present. After that but one
general account-is kept wherein H en
tered every debit and credit. There are
to be kept*some other statements of cer
tain kinds of receipts and certain kinds
of expenditures, but not in balanced
accounts. All warrants are to he paid
as presented out of any money on band,
except money specially reserved to pay
Interest or principal of bonds. Here
after the fiscal year ends June 30th.
The next fiscal year tfikes in the coin
ing months of April, May and June,
and the year up to June 30th, ISK4.
Reports are made hy school treasurer
to school clerks and county clerk and
the commissioners settle with them.
The school clerk reports to the Bounty
Superintendent, including the treas
urer's report. They are paid not less
than ten nor more than twenty-five
d.dlars each for correct reports made in
time. The law is very strict upon fi
nancial matters and removes the offi**to
promptly upon failure. Old methods
must pass away.
13. Teachers can see their way more
clear, if they are qualified, if they are
not, they cannot Ik* teachers of youth.
Invite others to come in tlieir places.
Teachers pay a certificate fee, but they
secure more than compensating advan
tages. They must be paid for holidays.
They get half pay for institutes when
they close schools for them; and they
secure institutes. Besides the county
fund mentioned, the couutv commiss
ioners may furnish not more than fifty
dollars, and this office is supplied with
six hundred dollars which can only bo
used to pay conductors of institutes
and to help out the other funds. We
cannot have many institutes thisspring,
but should have twenty next August ami
September. There are other advantages
to teachers and tlieir schools.
School corporations are authorized to
purchase Welwter's rnabridged Dic
tionary for each school, ami it is made
the standard in our schools. This office
will endeavor to secure accommodations
in pnces and delivery for these.
15. The undersigned has lieen again
appointed and continued as Superin
tendent. and this office has received the
most considerate favor alike of the Ex
ecutive and the Legislature. It would
he pleasant if in pioorlety to mention
soi v of their names, hut llicir constit
uents will know them. For four years
without any pay or allowances that,
were worth considering we have worked
hard Now with a salary and appro-
F illations we cannot work harder, hut
lope to aid you and the schools much
more.
It is a great pleasure also to lie able
to state that the lion. E. A. llealy, of
Pembina county, has been appointed
Assistant Superintendent. A gentle
man of education, integrity ami expe
rience, he is peculiarly well fittest for
the work, and will he especially greeted
with favor from all North Dakota,
where his duties will he mainly directed.
Thus, friends, the new er* opens.
You have as good a law as there is in
America, and all the aids the Territory
can afford. In each county separately
and in the entire Territory together let
us earnestly and faithfully lalxrr to es
tablish in Dakota a system of free com
mon schools that shall be dearer than
any other institution to the people.
(*ather all good forces about yon and
invoke from all, and yourselves exhibit
the liberal and devoted spirit that will
render success sure.
You would I doubt not ask many
questions. The law settles them all.
This office w ill be very busy and cannot
corresfKUid further w ith the live thou
sand local officers, or any part of them.
This may seem severe. 'lt is unavoida
ble. To each. Hupfriiuendeut and
through them to others we will do all
we can, and shall he able to respond
very soon t > eli your proper requests.
The law-making |w>wer has commanded
that we « o forward. Let us do so at
onco. Yours truly,
