The report of the Superintendent Of Free
Schools makes a very fattering exhibit OF
school work in the State for the last two
years. -,
Whilst our population has been rapidly
increasing, it is gratifying to know that ia
cilities for the education of our youth have
kept pace with such increase, so that the
settler in every portion of the State, has
conveniently located good common school,
nearly equal to those found in the older
States in which the system Of public schools
has existed for many years.
When it is remembered that our school
system has existed only twenty years, com
mencing without school houses, without teach.
ers, with large territory sparsely settled
and with population comparatively poor,
we are certainly to be congratulated upon
the results accomplished.
We have now an efficient system, comfort
able school houses in each neighborhOOd,
with an adequate supply ofteachers Of home
talent, educated in our Normal Schools.
Your attention is invited to the report, which
is full of interest, giving in detail the pro
gress made.
The following table shows the progress
made in the last two wears:

for the support of the schools was 5000.
Owing 10 the largeincreased monthly attend
ance in each Of these schools, this sum was
inadequate to discharge the liability for
which the Auditor was required by the
above section to draw his warrant on the
treasury.
The number of scholars attending each
school, and the deficiency is fully set out in
Q table accompanying the report to which
your attention is called, amounting In the
aggregate to the sum of 81, 045. q
The President also calls your attention to
the claims of teachers for salaries for the
fiscal year ending September 80, 1880.
No appropriation was made BY the Leg
islature Of 1879 for salaries Of teachers in
the Normal Schools. 1t was thought best
to keep the schools open, trusting to a
future Legislature to supply the omission.
These teachers discharged their duties, the
schools were kept open during the year; it
is therefore respectfully submitted that they
are entitled to compensation for the service
rendered.
There was also deficiency of 1926. 2 for
the fiscal year ending September 60 1882.

Normal Schools.
The President Of the Board Of Regents Of
the Normal Schools. in his report makes q
very satisfactory exhibit Of the work OF the
schools for the past two years
The fast increasing population OF the
State, demanding new school houses
throughout the State, creates demand for
teachers. These are being supplied from
our normal schools. The report herewith
submitted not only shows q large increase
in attendance upon the schools, but also
shows that the grade of scholarship is high
err and the graduates better fitted to dis
charge the duties Of teachers.
There are six of these schools in the
State. By reference to section 96 of chapter
As Of the Code, it is provided that the aggre'
gate amount appropriated in one year to
any normal school shall not exceed the sum
of 81, 900. This would make 9 total Of
$l2, 900 for all of the schools. should each
school have the number Of non-paying
scholars provided for in the previous clause
of the same section, as follows: "The Presi.
dent of the Board Of Regents Of the Normal
School, upon receipt ofthe reports required
in section 95 of this chapter, shall furnish
the Auditor Of the State with the number Of
the non-paying normal pupils in actual
monthly attendance in each Of the said Nor
NAL Schools, and the number Of months Of
actual attendance; upon the receipt Of
which report and on the requisition OF the
President of the Board Of Regents, the said
Auditor shall issue to the executive commit
tee of each Of said schools. warrants upor
the treasury Of the State for the amount due
said schools, at the rate ofS3.50 per month
for every non-paying normal pupil reportet

walking quietly. Few knew who he was when
he was brought into camp through the sentries.
His captors made right for Gen. Middleton's
tent, where they delivered their charge safely.
Riel appeared qnconcerned, but begged not to

be without result, as the complaints of the
farmers will be regarded with some degree of
attention" When told that his books and
papers had been captured, he said: 'I am glad
