SCHOLARS OF A STATE
MINNEsOTAtS SCHOOL POPULATION
IS GROWING CLOSE TO
100000
EACH YEAR SHOWS INCREASE
State Supt. Lewis Annual Report
GtveS Substantial Basis for the
Belief That the Population Of
Minnesota at the Next Census
VIII BE Not Far Short of 2,OOO,-

State Superintendent j. H. Lewis has
reports from every county superintendent
in the state upon the work of the school
year 1899, and has compiled summary Of
the figures and facts given in these re-
! turns.
The total number of school children at
tending the free schools is given as $751;
81, of whom 1854 are in special or In
| dependent districts, and the others in
| rural schools.
! A year ago the same reports from coun-
| ty superintendent indicated a total at
| tendance of 1884. O63, or q population Of L.
+ 72cOO0. The increase of 3,478 is not regard
I ed as large for one year, when 1T is con-
| sidered that there was an increase of Just
| $4,000 in the attendance of 1893 over the
year before This can perhaps be- attrib-
uted to the fact that in 1898 Industrial
conditions were greatly improved. and
many people WHO were compelled to keep
their children cut Of school, were, dur
| ing 1898, enabled to allow them to return
| to school,.
The average daily attendance of indie
| pendent school districts is given at 127,
while for the outlying districts the gen.
eral average is shown to be 76 The aver
age length of term Of the Independent
| districts is very close to nine months,
while the rural schools held sessions on
| an average Of 685 months during the
| year.
| Out of 6.701 teachers certificates grant
ed by county superintendent but six
were revoked, and those for good and
sufficient reasons. The total number of
| certificates issued Ia divided I'M into the
following grades: First grade, GAG; Sec
ond grade, 4,S09. and third grade, LAG.
- Through the $40 state aid given to
schools by the state for library purposes,
$4,000 additional volumes have been added
to school libraries. making q total of 3d.
900 volumes valued at $25o.eO
One of the features Of the work Of the
public schools has been the general OBJ
serXance Of Arbor day. 1t is doubtful if
any other state can boast of as general
| an observance of the tree-planting day,
as last Arbor day $50 districts held spe-
cial exercises and planted 15,753 trees.
Despite this showing the reports indicate
that there are 9. 1852 schoClhouses in Mime
sofa that have no trees in the school
yard. There has, however, as shown from
the general observance of Arbor day
last spring, been a marked improvement
| in this respect.
There are approximat ely 700 teachers
| Employed in the schools. OF this number
3,035 are high school graduates, 2,119 re-
eefved their training in normal schools
and CTS are college graduates
There has been a slight increase in the
/ amount paid teachers throughout the
state. In. Independent districts the aver
age is 1853. per month, and. In the rural dis
tricts sS7 is the average. Last year the
figures were slightly below this.

| OF the same kind being laid The atten-
| ton of City,sEngineer Claussen. was called
to defects In the brick paving On Mime
sofa street near Sixth; ait recent meet
ing of the board of public works, by a
property owner who had just paid an as
sessment for tina fpaVament.. The city en-
glneer admitted that's there were slight
defects In the pavement on Minnesota
street at several, points, but that the con-
tractor would rem adyi these IN the spring.
Another point made lby those who favor
asphalt paving and. aTe opposed to brick
pavements Is that aaasr the asphalt con-
tracts the contractor Is required toSkeep
the pavement In reEAil for period of
ten years, whilA undAr the contracts for
brick paving the contractor Is not re-
quired to make any repairs after the
work Is completed The last bids received
for brick and l.73asp1!tlt paving by the
board OF PUBLIC works showed that the
asphalt pavement cesf So cents per square
yard more than brick but as this price
included a ten isears,i guarantee to keep
| the pavement iriSrepa4ri and the price for
brick did not INCLUDE this factor. the rela-
tive cost between -asphalt and brick was
only about 30 centSrper square yard more
for asphalt. es@tk%r tsf-
One of the city officials stated yesterday
that the property owners on Rice street
and Broadway also, for that matter. need
have no fear that either of the streets
would be paved next year. s-.The fact; he
said, that the street car company would
have to pay $4,000 for paving its portion
of Rice street and 5000 for its portion of
Broadway YVES sufficient indication, to
him, at least. that something would hap
pen to prevent the work being done.

Season

Season.
When the entries close for the four
teenth annual poultry show, to be held
in st. Paul Feb. 5 to- II, the names o.
some of the most famous poultry breed
ers in the United States will be found in
the list. AS formerly, competition Is open
to the world. Heretofore this has meant
but little, as the premiums offered by the
association were not of sufficient value
to attract breeders of high class poultry
from the East This year it is different.
The splendid scoring of Minnesota birds
in the last annual exhibition has awaken
ed the pride and interest of local breed
ers to an unusual, degree, and an effort
will be made to bring the best birds in
the United States into competition with
the home product at the forthcoming
show. To this end the following breed
ers will raise a purse amounting to about
$500, to be offered as a premium In the
classes specified: Leslie Parlin, Buff Co.
chins; c. N. BeardsIey, Barred Plymouth
Rocks; C. N. Bliss, Black Minorcas; G..
A. 10th, Cornish Indian Games. Com
petitors in the foregoing classes will be
required to deposit So, from which source
prizes will be awarded the winning pen
one male and four females
The pet stocls department of the poul-
try show will be unusually interesting
this year. The rabbit exhibit will be
larger and more varied than ever before,
and an invitation has been extended to
owners of high-bred- felines to exhibit
their pets at the potltry show.
