A word of explanation. 1t was
by all in connection with the eating
house management that the chicken
pie dinner on Wednesday would be
40 cents, but it seems that someone
got the matter confused and a few

The School Enrolment.
Superintendent Sperry reported the
enrolment in the schools as follows
In the high school there were 100
enrollments, and, allowing 20 for
Implications, this left 700, whereas
the opening enrolment last year was
61S, showing gain of about 80. In
the Pleasant Grove school there
were 313 against 200 last year, a
gain of %; in the Franklin, 240
against 224 last year, a gain of 16;
in the Union, 179 against 176 last
year, gain of three; and in the
West Mankato, IT'S against 10, a
gain of five. This made total en-
rollment of 1907 against 1,47S last
year, or 129 in all.
Mr.. Sperry stated that the school
census had shown an increase of IS
to 80 children in the city of school
age, and the fact that the city
schools gained much more than
that showed that the public schools
were drawing pupils away from the
other schools.
Superintendent Sperry brought up
the question of the night school
work. He said he had had requests
from a number of people that such
school be established for the bene-
fit of foreigners. Mr.. Davies thought
this matter should be left to the new
school board.
Mr. Davies said he understood that
there were some pupils who would
like to come to the high school and
take up the commercial studies only.
He wished to know whether that
could be done. Mr.. Sperry said such
permission would be granted on re-
quest AS it was there was short
course for those who did not wish
much more than the typewriting
and stenography.
A motion was passed allowing the
janitors to get their usual school
supplies.
Notices had been sent out that
the last meeting of the old board
would be held next Friday evening
to wind up it's affairs. However,
things were wound up last night, so
that the Friday meeting will not be
held The new board will hold its
first meeting on Saturday evening at
1880 o'clock.

Seattle Man Is to Succeed
Manfred ". Deputy
From Thursdays Daily.

The successor of NJ w. Deputy
as head of the elementary school
connected with the state normal
will be Mr.. Edward G. Quigley, for
the past five years an assistant SUI
tie, Washington.
Mr.. Quigley is well known in Min
nesota, having been for several
years the head of the work in psy-
chology and education in the Moor
head normal school. He was called
to the University of Minnesota in
1909 as assistant professor of edu-
cation in the College of Education.
AS part of his work he travelled
among the counties of the state en-
gagged in institute work. In this he
was very successful as a speaker
and inspired the teachers and helped
them by his addresses and his per-
sonal influence. In 1911 he was called
to Seattle where he has also been
very successful in his contact with
the hundreds of teachers under him.
He is a man of personal charm and
the management of the school is
very happy in finding so promptly a
worthy successor to the good man
it has lost.
Miss Woodbury's work will be TAX
en- for the fall term by Miss Margar-
ct Akin of Wisconsin. Miss Akin is a
normal school graduate and a grad
uate of the Emerson college of Ora
tory in Boston. President Southwick
who is well known to ankato peo-
pie recommended Miss Akin as one
who will fill nicely the gap made by
Miss Woodbury's illness.
The enrolment shows some gain
over that of 1915, with very few en-
tering who have not had a full high
school course. 1t will run near ATS
for the term.
