Since that time its growth has kept
pace with the growth Of the state.
Large Catholic communities have been
established by Irish and French Cana
dams, Bohemians, Germans, and, of
late years, by large numbers Of Rus
SLAMS from the neighborhood Of Odessa
in southern Russia. The diocese was
first known al that of jamestown, but
within n few years the name has been
changed from jamestown to Fargo, at
which city the Episcopal residence Is
located and where n large and hand
some cathedral is being erected. Pa
rochial schools have been established
in all the large cities and principal
towns and a great many schools are
maintained among the Indians. There
are about 500 Indians being educated
by means of them. At present there
are fifty priests engaged in active work
here. There are thirty-ninc churches
with resident pastors, and more than
sixty missions. There are six priests
engaged in work among the Indians.
The total Catholic population is about
10000.
Among the other churches to be
found established are the Adventist.
Christian, Unitarian, Universalist and
Free Methodist. Although these de-
nominations have come into the field
more recently, they are rapidly pro-
crossing along all lines of religious ac-
tivity, and doing their full share in the
education and culture of the people.

success and welfare, are to be congrat-
ulated on the progressive public spirit
with which they have been treated by
the legislators. Through them the
state has done all that could possibly
be expected, and even more. . II the
schools Of this state, or of any portion
Of it, remain inefficient, it is not the
fault Of the state or of it's laws; but
on account Of local conditions or ow-
ing to the fact that such communities
fail to utilize the privileges and oppor.
tunities offered.
At the session just closed, every
branch of education received careful
consideration-the university, the state
normal schools, the agricultural col
lege, the school for the deaf, the rural
schools, teachers and pupils, and also
the general reading public.
Those who have been working in the
educational field in this state for a
longer time will recognize that this leg
islative assembly has enacted many
measures which have been advocated
by the educators Of the state for the
past six OF eight years. The legislat-
ors are entitled to the thanks of the
school men as well as the people in
general, and especially so the educa-
tional committees both Of the senate
and the house. They gave each and
every n Of the many educational
bills that came before them careful at
teEtion and fair consideration.

the rsmotest district school in the state
up to and through the state university.
By the recent act Of the legislature.
North Dakota has made education, in
all its grades, absolutely free to every
child within its borders. With the ex.
ception Of Minnesota, it is safe to say
that North Dakota possesses the most
completely-developed system Of public
instruction Of any state in the Union.
Twenty-one schools in the state have
been classified by the high school
board as state high schools. Seven of
these (Casselton, Devils Lake, Grafton,
Grand Forks, Larimore. Lisbon, Valley
City, are classified as high schools of
the first class; (Bathgate. Bis.
marck, Drayton, Glendale, Hillsboro,
Cakes, Park RIVER, as high schools of
the second class: and seven buffalo,
Langdon. Mandan, Pembina. st. Thorn
as. Thompson). rs high schools of the
third class. High schools of the first
class maintain a four-years' term of
study prescribed by the high school
board; high schools of the second class,
a three-years' course, and high schools
of the third class a two-years' course.
With the exception Of Greek, for which
substitutes in literature, mathematics
and science are offered, this course is
substantially the same in quantity and
quality rs that pursued by the best
high schools and academies Of the
New England and Middle states.
The institutions Of higher learning
have not Jagged behind the other
grades of schools in the general prog
ress. Indeed, they have from the start
set the pace, with the glad consent and
cheerful cooperation Of other grades.
In 1880 the university was the only
institution Of higher learning in actual
operation in the state, with a faculty
of ten members and an enrolment Of
151 students, all but "a of whom wers
in the preparatory department. In
1898 there were four state educational
institutions (the state university at
Grand Forks, the state agricultural
college at Fargo, and the state normal
schools at Mayville and Valley City,,
and two UNCONVENTIONAL colleges (the
Congregational college at Fargo and
the Red River Valley-Methodist-at
Wahpeton), with a combired faculty Of
The Dickinson press., 1899-05-13

SO members and with nearly or quite
1000 students in attendance.
During the past term the university
registered about 300 students, consid-
erably more than one-third Of them in
the college department, eleven being in
the graduate department as candidates
for the masters degree. Next October
the university will open a law depart
ment, with a sufficient attendance al
ready pledged to assure the success Of
the school. The higher and secondary,
as we'll as the common schools, are all
In a most flourishing condition, the
only complaint from any quarter being
that present facilities are proving en-.
tirely inadequate to meet the demands
made upon them.
1t does not come within the proper
scope of this article to make an esti-
nation Of the population Of the state,
based upon the present school enroll
ment; but as current estimates are all
considerably below the population
which should belong to us as Judged by
the ratio percentage (the percent, that
is, that the school enrolment bears to
the total population), elsewhere consid-
cred conservative, 1 venture to touch
upon the subject in closing my article.
Taking as the basis of our calculation
the enrolment for the school year end
ing June Both, 1893, 67,376, and using
as our ratio percentage 1873, which was
correct for 1890, we get 4O1, DAT as the
present population. This is undoubt.
eddy too large, as the proportion of
school enrolment to total population is
much larger than in 1890. If we take
the ratio percentage given by the
United States commissioner of educa-
ton for North Dakota in 1896, viz:
1873, we get as our present population,
358,033. Using 22.19, the official ratio
percentage for the North Central divi-
sion Of states Qncluding North Dakota),
we get 303,60O; and using the official
ratio percentage for the country at
large, 20.37, we get 33O, 761. All the
calculations indicate a population con-
siderably larger than that estimated by
the governor Of the state and reported
to the Worlds Almanac for 1899, viz.
235,00O. Assuming the correctness Of
our schol enrolment, I believe a con.
sentative estimate would place our pop
ulation in excess Of 300, 900 last June.
