PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS
Prepared by r. o. Bagby,
superintendent Of Bcmidji Pub
lie Schools.

Some one commenting on our
schools said this: 1--WE may state
five rights of the child-The right to
health, the right to work and play,
the right to social inheritance of arts,
letters and science, the right to ef-
fciency and the right to believe in
himself.
"And we may state five rights of
the teacher-The right to live COM
fortably, the right to be free from
favoritism, the right to advance pro-
fessionally, the right to face sickness
and old age without fear, the right to
feel self respecting and to enjoy So
cial esteem"
Very reasonable rights to grant to
both the child and the teacher-are
they not?
The enrolment in the following
schools on December l, 1920, includ-
ing both grades and high school, was
as. follows: St. Cloud, 1889; Fergus
Falls, 1877; Albert Lea, 1850; Grand
Rapids, 1900; Moorhead,- 92S; Fair
mont, 1855; Mankato, 1850; Crool,-
ston, 1915; Faribault, 1000; Alex
ander, $40; New Ulm, 761; Virginia,
1864; Bemidji, ITO.
The number of teachers for the
present year, 1920 and '21, for the
following schools is: St. Cloud, 81;
Fergus Falls, 81; Albert Lea, IT;
Grand Rapids, 142; Moorhead, 81;
Fairmont, AZ; Mankato, so; Crook
StOn. 40; Faribault, sc; Alexandria,,
81; New Ulm, IS; Virginia, ITO; Be-
midi, 60.
Why take these cities for COMPARE
son? Because twelve Of them are
similar conditions to meet, while Vir-
ginia is put in for a contrast.
The average number Of pupils per
teacher, as given in last weeks ar
ticle, was found, of course, by divid-
ing the total enrolment by the total
number of teachers, that includes all
principals, supervisors and special
teachers as we'll as all regular grade
and high school teachers. The aver
age number of pupils per teacher, in
the grades alone, will run much high
CIR, as later article will show.
The public school teachers of Be-
midi and the State Normal teach
ers of the Bemidji Normal held joint
meeting today for the purpose of dis
cussing the ACCESSIBILITY of becoming
affiliated with the National Education
association.

Renewed Fear for Lives of
Americans Is Felt BY
Waiting Friends
; (By United Press }

Mattice. Ont. Jan. 10. (By James
r. elly.)-The last traces Of the
outward trail Of the rescued Ameri-
can aeronauts is today somewhat OBJ
liberated by a precipitation Of snow.
During the night three inches fell
and the storm continues. Unless it
abates soon, the progress Of the dog
teams from Moose Factory will be
hampered considerably, according to
local experts, acquainted with the
trails Of the north country.
The men now have been on the
trail for three days, If they left as
per schedule arranged when George
Mcleod left Moose Factory for this
village to file the first telegram an
nouncing the safe landing Of the nav
al officers in the James Bay district.
Renewed fear for the>lives Of the
three American ballOOnists returning
safely from the shores OF the James
Bay were felt here today. They are
overdue on the dog sled trip down the
frozen Missenabi river. The fact that
the continued mild weather has prob
ably sOftened the ice, gave rise to
fear that the aeronauts, Lieutenants
Hinton. kloOr and Farrell may have
met with an accident. The Ameri-
cans were understood to have left
Moose Factory equipped with the
fastest dogs in this region and the
best Indian guides.
Or course they are not accustomed
to travel by snow shoes and may be
making slow progress trailing thru
the woods. However. these reports
were not accepted by natives who
said Indian guides accompanying
them could not be lost.
