REPORT STATES
SCHOOL COST IN
COUNTY IS Low
]. M. MCCONNELL, STATE COM
MISSIONER OF EDUCATION,
SHOWS COST OF MAINTAINING
HIGH AND GRADE STUDENTS.

Although Redwood County has one
of the best school systems of any
county in the state, the schools are
run economically as whole, it is
learned through a perusal of the an
nual report of j. M. Mcconnell, state
commission of education.
The average cost per pupil in the
high and elementary graded schools
of the county is $82 each, while
throughout the state the average cost
per pupil in this group of schools is
$S8.85. Redwood County's cost per
pupil in the high and elementary,
graded schools is nearly 81 under the
state wide average.
In the rural school group saving
will likewise be noted. In this coun-
ty the cost per pupil for maintenance
is $51.23 while for the rural schools
throughout the state, the average
cost per pupil is $53.67. The saving
in this instance is nearly $3.50 per
pupil.
In both groups the lesser cost per
pupil is not at the expense of poorer
schools or less equipped schools as
further examination of Mr.. McCon-
nelPs report indicates.
There are in the county three high
schools, five schools with high school
departments and ten elementary grad
ed schools. These statistics are for
the year ending July 31st. The en-
rollment for the group last year was
1854 pupils. There was paid for
maintenance the sum of $217,617. The
capital outlays, that is for land, new
buildings, etc., was $18,955 during the
year.
In the rural school group there
were 106 ungraded elementary schools
with an enrolment of 2,675 for the
year. The maintenance cost was $751;
045. The capital outlays were $12,-
888.
Besides few consolidated, associa-
ted and semi-graded rural schools
the county has 76 class "a" rural,
class "B" rural, 6 class &C" and 2
class I'D" rural schools.
In five districts of the county pup
lis are transported to school. There
was only one district last year where
the enrolment was less than ten pu-
pills. There were 26 where the en-
rollment was over ten pupils but un-
der twenty.
225 school officers attended the an
nual school officers meeting last year
showing a commendable interest in
the work.
Ten of the high and graded schools
are in debt. The value of the high
and graded schools and sites is plac-
ed at $4,000 while the rural school
is valued at $276,8O0. The
is about $500, 10000, being
largely for urban schools.
Seventy-three teachers in the coun-
ty taught in the same school two
years or more.
The amount available for distribu-
tion of the semi-annual apportion-
ment to public schools of Minnesota
will aggregate $1,524,434 this spring.
This is at the rate of So per pupil, as
against $3.50 paid out per pupil un-
der the last apportionment. The mon
ey for this aportionment will not be
available until after all of the county
treasurers have made their March tax
ttlements.-Morgan Messenger.

Audience Lasts 20 Minutes
Lindbergh was with the king Just
| 20 minutes; and it is understood
Lindbergh did his share Of the talk
ing, although his royal host showed
much curiosity about some OF his
| experiences and asked numerous
questions.
Talks About The Derby
King George, like most Eng .ish-
men, had the Derby much in mind.
and his parting words to Captain
Lindbergh were he would see the
airman with Lord Lonsdale at Ep-
som tomorrow.
The king asked Captain Lindbergh
il he had attempted to pick the
Derby winner. Lindbergh replied
that horse racing was entirely out
OF his line OF guess work. and that
he could not even say what horse
had won the kentucky derby.
Soon after Lindbergh's departure,
the king left by motor for the open
ing of the racing at EPSON. on the
course where the Derby will be run
tomorrow.
Carries His Medal
Only a few minutes elapsed after
the audience began before the king
bestowed the air force cross upon
the aviator. 1t was noticed that
Lindbergh did not wear 1t when he
left but carried it in its case, much
to the disappointment OF the crowd
of photographers awaiting him.

A new Ford sedan, stolen from the
Clayton carnival grounds and owned
by Mrs. Schultz, of near Galena, Nd,
was found deserted by Rural Mail
Carrier Howard Townsend, on the
road leading from Townsend to Wig
gins Mill. Mr.. Townsend noticed the
machine there as he passed by in go
ing home on Saturday night and on
the following morning took charge of
the car to await the arrival Of the
owner. Mr.. Townsend notified the
State Highway Department imnled-
lately that the car mad bee reported
to them as missing. Mrs. Schultz was
notified and her son went after the
machine. The thief had stopped at
the Hart Garage, Townsend, and tried
to sell the auto, but as Mr.. Hart was
not there at the time, no action in
making the transaction could be tax
en-. 1t is believed that the young
man seen in the car by several resi-
dents became alarmed when several
cars happened to follow him up Rail
road Avenue, and fearing that pursu-
ers were close on his trail, deserted
the machine at this linely spot. The
thief soon disappeared in the darkness
and since then no clues have been
found to lead to his identity or where
abouts.
