The legislature enacted wide revisions to school laws, affecting rural and independent districts. Directors and secretaries face new terms, with rural boards taking office July 1 and city districts on July 1 unless Sunday shifts.

Treasurers must bond if extending terms, and annual organization dates shift to July 2 in many cases. An excursion to Des Moines is advertised for March 28 at $1,765 round trip.
