reason that Clarke ran behind in Algona

more harm than good. About forty
Wesleyites came to Algona. Saturday to
see the ball game and make demon

Facts and Figures Cleaned from An
nuaI Report of the County
superintendent.

The county superintendent of pub
lie schools has completed the annual
school report and the same has been
forwarded to the Office of the state

CLEANED the following facts that must
prove interesting to our local readers
and at the same time convey to our
eastern readers an idea regarding the
growth of educational matters in Fre-
mont county.
There are 80 organized school dis
tricts with total enrolment of 1889
pupils. In the high school are $50
students; in graded schools 37l9,
and in the rural schools $50. The
average daily attendance has been
3007. The report shows there is one
blind pupil and four mutes.
There are 10 teachers employed in
the graded schools and 36 in the ru-
raj schools. The total amount Of
teachers salaries paid is $6l, ,l52.44.
1t is shown that the average wage
paid in graded schools is $7l75; in
the rural schools it is $5o.O3. The
average cost per month yer pupil,
based on the enrolment, is 50 75;
based on attendance, it is $500.

or adobe there are l3, valued al
$3,450; there are % frame struc-
lures valued at $20,500; of stone or

males and 72 females have applied
for examination. Certificates of the
first grade were issued TO 30 persons;
in the second grade to "a; in the
third to II. Applications to the
number of q have been rejected.
The total expense during the year
has been $l1l, ,S54.79, and among the
principal items we note: Fuel, rent,
insurance, etc, $14,l98;64. For
sites, buildings, etc, $l,3o2.16. In
terest on registered warrants, $734.-
