Boston Will Build New School Houses For Public Needs
In Mayor Hart's 1900 inaugural address the priority is additional school accommodations. A Boston school house commission has authority to spend 1 000 000 for new houses this year and 3 000 000 more soon. It plans sanitary, well-lit buildings while also using forty three portable wood school houses for temporary relief. These portable units can be moved and are often placed in crowded yards. While not fully displacing rented rooms, they are seen as superior for economy and accommodations.

North Dakota farmers are urged to diversify away from wheat. Central and western areas grow mixed crops and raise horses for profit as grasslands provide a strong, low-cost base.
