! FARM BOYS LEAD s.4.g: I
IN MATHEMATICS
indiana Professor Tells Results .
His Observations. ss.5


Students from the rural districts
are better in mathematics than stu
dents from the cities, according to
Prof. David Rothrock of Indiana uni.
versity, who has given out data con-
corning $50 students enrolled in the
mathematics departments during the
fall term of school.
The students were grouped accord
ing to parentage into three classes
those whose fathers are farmers,
those whose fathers are professional
men and those whose fathers are en-
gagged in commercial pursuits. The
first named class composed only 29
per cent of the $50 students, the Sc
cOnd class Is per cent and the third
class So per cent.
The students from the farm made
an average Of 82.4 on their final ex-
animation, as compared with 74.5 for
the second class and 65.6 for the
third class. Only per cent of the
farmer class failed to make a pass
ing grade, as compared with 1874 per
cent Of the professional and II per
cent of the commercial classes

ing season At least one large man
ufacturer is planning to put an as
sembEng plant in North Dakota and
the most prominent will increase
their facilities for handling the state
business and all of the high class
manufac acturers have arranged to dis
play their models at the Fifth An
nual North Dakota Auto Show, which
will be held at the Auditorium in
Grand Forks on March 3rd, 4th, 5th
and 9Th. This show promises to
surpass it's record of previous sea-
sons in so far as number of models,
variety ofdesigns and cars, as well as
accessories and parts, displays are
concerned.
~ This attention by the automobile
manufacturers is due to the fact that
they consider the Red River Valley
to be excellent territory for the COM
ing season. Crop conditions here
last year were better than the aver
age and finances are in good shape.
The state stands well in the east.

GROWTH OF MUNICIPAL
LIGHT 4 WATER PLANT

1t might be interesting to note the
growth in revenue of the municipal
light and water plant for period of
ten years. Below are given compar-
.ative figures which show what has
been accomplished: In December.
.1903,s the total revenue from electric
current sold by meter and fiat rate
was $429.40, for supplies $24.32, for
water during quarter, $39.75. The
rate charged at this time for current
was 1lc per 1000 watts or one K. w.
with a 25c monthly meter rental and
q minimum monthly charge Of $1.QO.
The current, water and supplies for
the month Of December, 1913, total as
follows: For lighting $1,283.14, sup
plies $547.95, for water during quar-
ter, $60O.2O. The present rate is 1Oc
per K. w. and 10c meter rental
with minimum monthly charge of
85c.
It will be seen that the total reve.
nue. is almost five times greater than
ten years ago while the capacity Of
the plant has been doubled only one
and one-haf times in the same time
and is in need of larger and more ef
fcient machinery
The street, lighting has also in
creased greatly and this also has
added considerable load in the past
10 years.
All visitors to Warren say that it is
the best lighted city of its size in the
state, thanks in large measure to the
energy and efficiency Of the present
uperintendent, w. r.. Haney, and all
citizens are interested In keeping The
city in the front rank. Sometime
will have to be done soon In the mat
ter OF enlargdng the plant so as K
Keep pace with the growth Of tht
city. AT a future time we will dis
cuss some plans by which this may
be done.
