Nine Mile school, which has had a mushroom growth during the last five years, and now has ample quarters for three teachers and their classes.

Creighton Valley, Number Eight, Number Seventeen, and Number Twelve have remodelled their buildings to take care of the increasing attendance and to make it possible to add one teacher each. District Ten West has provided space for two teachers. Number Twenty-four has a most excellent plan of structure with ample space for cloak rooms and hall and with furnace heat and approved lighting. Lake Minatare has a creditable two-teacher building and neat little teacherage.

Fairview School on Dutch Flats, is our newest and one of the most attractive appearing schools in the county -- furnace heated, electric lighted and well finished. Practically all of these schools have given careful attention to the lighting and heating of their buildings, as well as to the comfortable seating of pupils.

At present McGrew and Melbeta have substantial school houses adequate for immediate needs ; Minatare has a good nine-room brick structure besides the high school frame building; Mitchell, Morrill, Scottsbluff and Gering are contemplating the early erection of new buildings for immediate needs.

When these buildings have been completed the present urban population of our county will be well cared for, but the building of sugar factories at Minatare and Mitchell, together with the rapid growth in population throughout the county, will doubtless require continual school building for years to come.

Among the better urban school buildings may be mentioned the substantial brick buildings of Mitchell and Minatare, the ward and high school building of Scottsbluff, and Gering's new high school and grade building.
