Fargo, Sept. 19.-The Agricultural
college has undertaken long needed
service in supplying small towns and
rural communities with educational
and entertaining lecture courses dur
ing the long winters. The work was
organized by A. p. Hollis, college ex.
tension lecturer, and last winter 108

For the rest of February and March,
the college has been fortunate enough
to secure J. Adams Puffer, we'll known
chautauqua lecturer and director Of
the vocational bureau in Boston.
Mr.. Puffer lectured at all the state
institution summer schools this sum-

quartet in the opera "Martha.'
Miss Maude Knight is a talented
Fargo girl, graduate of one of our
Conservatives, and an accomplished

partment, whose work in the moving
picture field is gaining him an enviable
reputation.

Capacity Of High School Taxed
to Accommodate the Students

On account of the large enrolment
at the high school this term the capac.
ity Of the building is crowded to the
utmost. The number of nonresident
pupils this term is larger than ever
before, and they are registered from
all sections of North Dakota, from
west Of Bismarck to east of Fargo.
This showing is one that the people
of Valley City should be proud of and
reflects great credit upon the reputa-
tion of the Valley City public schools
throughout the state.
Superintendent Hanna states that
with additional facilities and a larger
building the high school enrolment
could easily be increased from hun
dred to hundred and fifty larger
than at present. The present enroll
ment however, is all that the high
school building will accommodate.

dormitories, and SO board only, making
total of 260 and leaving 331 students
who secure both board and room in
private families.
But of these 331 students, lis lived
with their parents in Valley City.
While a part Of this number of stu
dents came to Valley City with their
parents on account of the advantages
offered by the State Normal school,
and while possibly all of them might
be included in these statistics, they
have for this purpose not been count
ed. There are then, 216 students (331
less 115) who both roomed and board
ed in private homes and paid in ad-
vance by the month.
Counting three terms of IL weeks
each and six weeks of summer school,
there are AZ weeks in the school year.
The average price of board and room
combined has been computed at just
SIS per week, or $21O for the school
year.
For PIG students this amount would
be just $45,36O (216 times $210) for
the school year.
But as stated above, SO students
boarded at the state dormitories, pay
ing into private homes fee for room
ing accommodations. This rent aver
aged $1.25 per room per student, or
$3.50 per school year, and for SO
students, $4,S82.50.
Thus the total income to private
homes in the city from boarding and
rooming accommodations offered stu
dents amounts to $45,360, with this ad.
ditional sum of $4,882.5O, or $50, ,242.50,
not taking into account students who
make their permanent home in Valley
City.
At the state dormitories 167 stu
dents paid SIS each month for board
and room (the rate now is $16), or
$2,505 per month, or $7,515 per term
Of three months. For three terms,
$22,545. For the summer term the
rate is $25 and for 167 students would
amount to an additional SALTS, which
added to the amount of the other three
terms would make a total of $26, ,720.
But there are SO students who board
only at the dormitory and they pay
$12 each per month, of $1,116 per
month, $3,348 per term, or $10,O44 for
three terms. To this amount must be
added that for the summer term, when
SO students pay $18 each for board, or
total of $1,674, making total with
the other three terms of $11,718.
This amount added to that paid by
those who secured both board and
room (s25,72O plus s11, ,71S) gives a
grand total of $37,43S received for
both board and room.
Add to this amount that paid into
private homes for the same purposes
($37,43S plus s50,242.50) gives grand
total Of $S7,6SO.5O spent annually in
Valley City for board and room only
by students who come to attend the
State Normal school.

Students Pay $4,000
Every Year for Board
and Room in the City

That students coming here from
points outside of Valley City to attend
the State Normal school spend annual
ly nearly 100000 for board and room
is revealed by statistics recently COM
piled. Of this enormous amount, over
$4,000 is paid to families (and two
church homes) for accommodations in
private homes.
A careful examination of these sta
tistics shows that during the last

the spring term of 1916, there was an
average attendance per term of 591
