The enrolment of the Minot Nor

now is $50 pupils. The enrolment Of
the Normal school proper is 189, be-
ing twice what it was year ago, with
fair chance to increase to 200
within short time.
The classes run from 35 to so in
enrolment, too many for one instruc-

ditional instructors cannot be secured
at this time.
The dormitory has an enrolment Of
eighty-two, with accommodations for
ninety five. 1t is believed that it will
soon be filled to capacity.

record the Normal school has made.
At the rate it is growing, it will soon
