SECOND NOTICES MAILED
With the approach of the new year
the Record has been attempting to get
its "list, of subscribers paid up at least
to the current year. Most of those
receiving notices the first of -Decem
ber have responded. However, there
are about sixty yet to hear from who
owe since a date prior to Jan. 1,"1922.
A second notice is going to them this
week, and, after the first of the year,
those from whom we have not heard
will be cut off the list and their ac
counts turned over to a collection
agency for settlement. Subscription
accounts are only small amounts, but
they are important to the concern that
is furnishing the print paper, ink,
postage, etc., the year round. Our
list has grown to more than eleven
hundred, and the print paper bill is
getting to be quite an item. If you
are one of those who are behind,
please don't put your notices aside
and forget it, but send your cheek

Payment of Farm '.
Contracts
Mcintosh county, which has long
enjoyed a reputation with state of
ficials as one of the best('taxpaying
counties, is the best paid-up of the
counties on school land contracts, ac
cording to records of Land Commis
sioner Kositzky. Although this coun
ty has suffered from the. dry years as
other western counties, the report
shows that there are only 14 land
contracts in the county on which the
interest payments ^are delinquent one
year, only one contract on which there
is a delinquency of more than" one
year.
Logan county, a companion county,
ranks as the second best paid-up coun
ty in the state. Bottineau has the
largest number of delinquencies.
This value of school lands sold at
a sale on Feb. 6, 1918, in Mcintosh
county was $466,484• There was a
total of 19,94f acres of land sold, at
an average of $23 an acre, some land
being sold for as high aa $160 per
acre. Of the total number of land
contracta, which is-160, there aire but
15 delinquracies.
Tlie total numler tf land contracta

LINTON SCHOOL NOTES
High School
Alma Bechtle and Aurelia Reude
have finished Book I in typewriting,
and are now working, in book two.
Some of our other pupils expect to
finish book one before New Years.
In the standardized tests whihh
were given in the High School last
week, the results indicate that the in
tellectual ability of our pupils ranges
.just about the same as in other
schools: namely, a big majority of our
pupils are average or normdl stu
dents, and there are about equal num
bers of dull pupils and superior pupils.
The purpose of this test is to deter
mine the approximate ability of a atu
dent so that he may be given work in
proportion to his mental capacity. In
ao far as the tests have been given
in the grades it would demonstrate
a general weakness in the four fun
damentals of arithmetic as well as in
tbe operation Pf simple fractions.
Emphasis will hereafter be placed on
those general weak points .in the hope
that the spring test may find us con
siderably improved. This weakness
in the fundamental! of arithmetic is
not peculiar to any particular school,
for those tests have shown this same
weakness in practically all the schools
in which they were first given. The
tests further show that while our
High School atudents are compara
tively slow readers, they did quite
well in grasping the thought. This
is not always the case in the grades
Christmas vacation will begin
Thursday evening of this Week, there
by giving those of our'teachers who
live on branch lines an opportunity to
reach their homes by Christmas.
School work will again be resumed
Monday, January the eighth. Inhere
will be no school notes given during
this vacation period. School items
will again be given after that time.
We are sohy to say thafMrs. Sher
win is still confined to her room on
account,of illness. We--trust that she
i)Sfy ,be able to be out in the near
future. V:' :'.
We understand that Nathan Rock
well, one ef our former Fres(imen, is
to spend part of his Christmas vaca
tion visiting friends in Linton.
Laura Kyes retained borne with her
parents last Frday and does not ex
pect to be. back until after the Holi
dayi.
Several of the rooms will have
small Christmas programs for the
pupils of such grades. No attempt
was made at giving,a general schpol
program at this time, as most of our
pupils are taking part in some Christ
mas program given by their respec
tive grades or by a church. Later
in the year the school will offer a
general entertainment or class play
to the public.
The Night School classes will not
meet during the two holiday weeks,
but will continue as usual after 'that.
Seventh Grade
Suitable Christmas preparations are
being made in pur room, and we look
forward to a pleasant hour the last
day before vacation..
The drawing class has completed a
Christmas telephone pad, and is now
making boxes and blotters..
Statements for the different busi
ness places were given "to us for Arith
metic work. Ledger accounts will be
filled out later. '-.- v-fe/r
