MANY PUPILS IN ONE ROOM
SCHOOLS
There Are 1885 of These Schools
in N. D., With Attend
ance of 74,656

!. The place the one room school has
in the educational life of North Da-
kota is vividly portrayed in the sta
tistics of the school year 192O-21 now
being prepared for the biennial re-
port.
At the end of the school year in
1921, North Dakota had 5,5O7 school
houses; 4,355 were one-room schools.
For the school year under consider
alton, 169,376 children attended the
public schools, of this number 74,656
were in one-room buildings. It was
here also that the greatest loss to
the taxpayers of the state came also
because weather conditions and roads
reduced the daily average attendance
in. the one room school houses to
54,O55, or on an average of 20,601 for
every day Of the eight-nonth term.
With the average attendance in the
oneroom schools at II each the re-
suit would be the same if 1900 of the
one-room schools were heated, light
ed when necessary and teacher sup
piled, but not one student answered
the call of the bell.
, Teachers are supplied literally for
these one-room schools, 1922 being
reported for the 4,335 schools. These
teachers on an average teach but
eight months in year and receive
for this teaching an average of
$102.50 per month. The aver
age yearly salary of these one-room
school teachers, therefore is $500, to
pay the expenses Of a year and the
six to twelve weeks Of summer school
that is now considered necessity
for advancement and ability to ad-
vance to higher position in the
teaching world.
) Seventeen Of the teachers Of the
one-room schools for the year under
consideration were college graduates.
One hundred and twenty more held
Diplomas from normal school. High
school graduation had been reached
by 2,876 and the educational statis-
ties for the remaining 1909 is not
given but is presumed to be lower
than high school graduation.
One hundred and twenty-one Of
these teachers held professional
teaching certificates, 1911 held first
grade certificates and 1884 held sec
ond grade certificates.
The completed work Of the one
room schools for the year 1920-21
was 3,115 eight grade graduates a
fifth Of all the graduates Of the year.

The visitors in the seventh hammered
in six scores and drew two more in
the eigth and two in the ninth for a
total Of thirteen. Strasburg made
two in the second, three in the fourth,
two in the fifth, and one each in the
sixth, seventh and eighth.
The score book shows that Linton
made fourteen hits, and Strasburg six.
Linton made twelve errors. and Stras-
burg four. Angel struck out ten,
and Strasburg's Indian pitcher struck
out FIVE. Two base-hits were made
by Wood, Mohn and ANGEL. Three
base hits were made by F Bertheau
and Angel. Angel walked seven

theau and Volk were hit by the
