MINNESOTA NEWS.
No Increase.

Minnesota school enrolment for the
year 19Oa-3, just reported to State
Superintendent Olsen, shows no in
crease over the school year preceding
The enrolment for 1902 was 4l4,67l
For last year, with three counties estl-
mated, the enrolment was 414,7O7.
This year the first time in many
years that the figures have failed to
show an increase. The enrolment for
19Oo-1 was 4o3,O and for 1s99-1900 1t
was 399,2O7.
The number of pupils attending for
ty days last year shows an actual de-
crease, and when the figures reported
were tabulated it looked like a ''race
suicide document. The apportion-
ment of state school aid is based on
these reports. Last year the dlstrl bu'
ton was made on basis of 353,72 pu-
pills. This year only 252,6o7 were re-
ported as having attended the forty

Something Rare.

The Minnesota fish exhibit at St.
Louis will contain one specimen which
will probably attract considerable at
tention.
Executive Agent Fullerton of the
state game and fish commission re-
ceived a letter from II. V. Curry, q
fisherman living near Rainy lake, in
which he says that he caught pure
white sturgeon. He desires to send it
to the commission to be stuffed and
sent to the St. Louis exhibition as a
part of the Minnesota exhibit.
Executive Agent Fullerton says it is
the only specimen of albino sturgeon
that he ever heard of in the state. A
white sturgeon is as rare as any other
specimen in the fish world and would
be q valuable addition to the Minneso-
Ia exhibit.
