Size of School
Small Attendance Rate.

Using the figures already cited, it
is easy to deduce the fact that there
are enough children enrolled In the
rural schools to give every one Of them
an average daily attendance Of 21.4
pupils instead OF. the low number OF
IFS. This means that the rural
schools are running regularly at about
one-half Of their possible efficiency.
This being the case. the deduction
based on the typical districts already
mentioned in this discussion show
ing the average number of days at
tended by each pupil in actual enroll
ment at the low number of N should
be no surprise. Contrast this fact with
the same deduction for the typical
cities and villages given where we find
an average attendance per pupil Of
1908 days and You have the two ex-
tremes. eight months against four.
Small wonder. indeed. that we md
hundreds Of good farmers in all parts
OF the state moving into town in the
winter in order to secure proper school
ADVANTAGES for their children before
they grow up, and hundreds Of others
going to great expense to send them
many miles away to far off state in
stitutions. In both instances, the chill
dren, the money and the social energy
thus expended belongs in that rural
community out Of which circumstances
have driven it. Both community and
the individuals are the losers by the
process.
But. al In all other matters that

dent Nelson Of the grain growers de-
partment also spoke.
A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed as follows: III. o. Brown Of
Minneapolis, Carl Il. Rocco of Wheat
land. o. Fl. Olson Of New Rockford,
Bert Cole or Campbell, Mimi, and H
p. HalVerson of Sheyenne. This COM
mittee held meeting last night at 10
o'clock at the Metropole. The COM
mittee on credentials made it's report
last night.
AT the close of the netting IL was
decided that the morning should be
for members only and admission would
be by card.
There was great discussion last
night on the question Of the appoint
ment Of an elevator inspector for this
state and it was the sense of the meet
ing that the legislature be asked to
create such an office, and the commit
tee was instructed 10 prepare resolu-
lions in conformity to this idea.
The committee was also instructed
TO prepare resolutions, asking that the
Minnesota state legislature be request
ed TO enact g. law by which the ac-
tons Of the chamber OF commerce OF
that state could be reviewed by any
one who was interested i'm the matter
The meeting then adjourned to as
semble in the morning.

cause OF any superior advantages.
Given the same advantages, the rural
child viii outstrip his city cousin In
nearly every instance. 1t Is worth
while to inquire, then, as to whether
1t is possible in any measure to do
this--to furnish to the rural child right
at home a school equal in. all Of its
essential characteristics to the CITY
school and open at time that will
be most advantageous to him. and
for a period sufficiently long each year
to provide for the training OF his
growing and expanding faculties at 4
rate that Is commensurate with his
growth and development along ALI
other lines. Not a city school.-for
the city school transplanted into a
rural region lis as much out of it's
native element and as little adapt-
ed to the needs OF the people
whom 1t would serve as an ocean
steampship would be on the prairies
OF North Dakota. without hesitation
We may answer this question with a
vigorous emphatic affirmative. Much
has already been done in other aari-
cultural states toward the rational So
luton Of this problem and even In
our own state We are already far
advanced on the road. The real solu-
ton lies In greater and more intelli-
gent concentration of our efforts and
less Of random dissipation Of time and
resources. The ideal agency through
this may be effected Is the consolldat-
ed school North Dakota already has
over 100 Of them.

are worth while. the real sticking
point in the school question is the
expense problem. You viii say at
once that the cities with their high
assessed valuation and their abund-
ant resources are able to provide adj
vantages that the country, in the very
nature of things, cannot afford. Here
again the facts are worth examining.
Using the same typical districts as a
basis we find that the average annual
expenditure necessary to keep one
child in daily attendance i'm the cities
and villages is $41.94 Working out
the same problem for the rural dis
tricts in exactly the same way, we
get figure only a few cents lower,
namely S41.53. That is, the rural
schools furnish their pupils with
schooling of an inferior kind and lack
ing in inspiration for only Al cents
less annually per capita. Applying the
figures we find that If they were to
extend the same methods now in
vogue and furnish them with the same
number of days school that the cities
do it would cost s$Ss.T4 instead Of the
present figure of S41.53.

Further examination Of the items
that go to make up these totals in
both cases is equally interesting and
suggestive. The average cost for one
pupil in school one day in the cities
and villages. is 22.S cents and in the
rural school 1t is 1913 cents. The
average annual expenditure per pupil
for teachers is $2S.41 in the cities and
$31.07 in the country To supervise
and manage the work of each pupil
the cities pay 40 cents to their school
officers while for the same work the
school officers in the average rural
districts receive $3.43. The incidental
expense of the school-such as fuel,
books and other supplies-amounts to
$13.04 in the cities and $9,03 in the
country. Particularly on the item of
expense of school officers, it is easily
apparent that some very material saw
ings may be effected. In practically
all of the cities and villages, the cor
poration treasurer is also the school
district treasurer and does the work
most satisfactorily. While there is
no officer in the country districts who
could do this work with equal ease
and efficiency, it could very well be
left in the hands of the county treas
urer, as has been suggested by tho
school law commission in their excel
lent report, and the treasurers' big bill
of expense would thus be eliminated.
Another rather significant item is the
expenditure for teachers. AS you will
note, the rural schools are paying an
average of $2.66 more to their teachers
for each pupil, and yet the teachers
in the cities and villages. handle daily
a little more than twice as many pu-
pills. Somewhere, resources that are
priceless in their possibilities are run
ming to waste

statement that, in the very. nature of
things. the rural child is entitled to
as good advantages as the child who
