Public School-Term Report.


The number Of pupils entitled to
apportionment from the state fund
for the fall term just closed Is 1872.
The total enrolment is 574.
The school has been thoroughly
graded from top to bottom and the
teachers without exception have put
forth their best efforts to raise the
standing of the school. 1t has been
the policy Of the teachers to exercise
coercion as little as possible-to lead
the pupils rather than drive them.
This method hos been entirely suc-
cessful except, of course, in two or
three cases. Corporal punishment
has thus been reduced to a minimum
probably less than ever in the history
of the school. But what has been
done has been done in the most
humane manner possible, yet in q
sufficiently systematic and scientific
way as to insure even less Furnishing
in the future than in the past and
possibly none at all. One essential
condition of q successful school is q
healthful moral atmosphere, good
citizens. not bright villains should be
the product of our schools. This
fact has been keptconstantly in mind.
The high school has finishsd the
first half Of the regular high school
course. The new subjects added this
year are Latin Grammar, History Of
Rome and Algebra. After the holi-
days CHEMISTRY will be added and a
review taken in Arithmetic and Eng
lish Grammer. The senior class Is
|making=a good record In every re-
spect and, after vacation, re enforced
by q number of bright pupils, will
easily complete the first years work
by the. June examinations. They
will finish the regular high school
course of study by June '93, when
they will constitute the first gradu-
ating class.
It is reasonable to expect that next
year will see Little Falls on the State
High School list. We have reached
that point in population and pride
which makes it exceedingly desirable
that ours be classed among the good
schools of the state. We shall as g.
state state high school, receive an
additional 800 from the state, while
the expense Of running the school
will remain as in the past.
Expense, however, is a matter of
little consequence considering the
great advantage to the industries Of
any town of having it's schools well
and favorably known.
Iwish most heartily to to thank
the patrons and friends of the school
for their universal and hearty CO.
operation in educational affairs.

Indian Payment at White Earth.

The Indian payment has been in
progress the past week at White
Earth, and several interested parties
from Little Falls have been up there

that the authorities refused to pay
them there. The Indians are raising
a fund to send representatives to
Washington to see If some troubles
cannot be adjusted, and each one re-
ceiving money contributes so cents
to the fund.

Another Famous Painting.

We understand that Mr.. Dryburgh
now has ON the way to Little Falls
the famous painting Amor and Psych,
by Bouggnereau, OF Paris. The
painting is representation Of the
old Greek Story of Amor and Psyche,
he being the god who represented
love, and she a beautiful maiden who
lived in the forest. Amor fell in love
with her but she rejected his advances
until one day he came and seized her
by force and bore her away to Mount
Olympus, the home of the gods. The
painting is one OF the largest in the
country, is valued at many thousand
dollars and must prove to be a more
than royal attraction to our citizens.
