What Children Are Doing THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1933 in Capital City Schools BISMARCK SCHOOLS SHOW REMARKABLE GROWTH IN 13 YEA More Than Double Attendance Since 1920 According to ‘ Superintendent That Bismarck public schools are growing fast is evidenced by the rapid increase in school population, annual Statistics of which are recorded in the superintendent's office. At the end of the first two weeks of the present school year, 1933-34, the total number of pupils enrolled in the Bismarck public schools was 1,970, as compared with the enrollment of 907 for the year 1919-20, Of this number, which included all public schools of the city functioning at that time, 165 were kindergarten children. As the 1933 figures do not include kindergar- ten, the increase in the 14 interven- ing years for high and elementary Schools amounts to 1,228, or an in- crease of 165.5 per cent. Grade schools’ two weeks of the 1932-33 term. All grade schools but one show increases, Richholt’s attendance being exactly the same as last year. Roosevelt school’s registration is 265 as compared with 222 at this time last year; Wil- jiam Moore's has risen from 271 to 305; Will school increased from 391 to 407, and Wachter from 123 to 151. Bismarck High’s enrollment is seven Jess than last year at this time, drop- ping from 563 to 556. Several reasons for this decrease are obvious. The number of non-resident students has been cut down from the usual 125 to only 70, the elimination being neces- sitated by the decreased teaching force of the high school. Bismarck high also lost between 40 and 50 stud- ents to St. Mary's this year. At the high school, 188 freshmen are enrolled, 140 sophomores, 128 jun- one 100 seniors, making a total of Junior high 1s next largest, with 151 seventh-graders and 162 eighth- graders. Will Annex has an enroll- ment of 39 in the first grade, 27 in the second, and 28 in the third, mak- ing the Will school’s total 407. There are 305 pupils at the William Moore; of which 36 are in the first grade; 39 in the second; 33, third; 60, fourth; 75, fifth; and 62, in the sixth, Richholt school’s 286 pupils are di- vided into: First, 52; second, 40; third, 45; fourth, 43; fifth, 50; sixth, 43; and opportunity, 13. ‘Wachter has enrolled 151: First, 37; second, 26; third, 23; fourth, 27; fifth, 18; and sixth, Playmakers Select Members by New Plan ‘Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week saw the Julia Marlowe chapter of Playmakers launched in a new season of dramatics, when 22 members were added to the dramatic organization to make up the usual membership of 50. One probationary member was also chosen to fill any vacany that might occur during the year. The plan of selectivity used this year was one of percentage, by which 40 per cent of the members is com- posed of seniors, 30 per cent of jun- iors, 20 per cent of sophomores, and the remaining 10 per cent of fresh- men. No preference was given either to boys or girls this year.

Officials concerned with negotiat- ing the pact said it had received the approval of President Roosevelt and the state department and signature by Secretary Wallece was virtually all that was needed to set up the agree- {ment’'s intricate mechanism. | Dr. John Lee Coulter, of the tariff commission, took the agreement Mon- ‘day morning to Secretary Wallace. Coulter was accompanied by George N. Peek, administrator of the farm act, and a state department official. Coulter said he thought the agree- ment was “completed” just four months to the day after he was as- signed the task of supervising its ne- gotiation. One important provision in the pact would give President Roosevelt, or some official he designates the power to raise or lower Cuba's tentative quota, dependent upon circumstances which may arise. The agreement would limit the amount of raw sugar which the pro- ducing interests might supply the domestic market to around 7,000,000 row tons annually.

Educator Dies Seattle, Sept. 25—()—Dr, Henry Suzzalo, 58, president of the Carnegie ‘Foundation for Advancement of ‘Teaching and a former president of the University of Washington, died early Monday from a heart attack. ‘The efforts of Dr. Suzzallo to make the University of Washington a big- ger and better institution resulted in his dismissal from the presidency in 1926. When he became president in 1915, the university had an enrollment vf 2,000, but attracted little attention ‘outside the state of Washington. Dr. Suzzallo immediately inaugurated a lve program of development which eventually placed Washington among the leading universities of the country. Its enrollment had increased to 7,000 at the time he left the presi- dency. -In 1926, the biennial program of the university officials providing for continued development was op- nosed by the state administration. During the controversy that ensued, Dr. Suzzallo was dismissed. In oust- ing him, however, the board of re- gents, which was appointed by the governor, lauded his work as an edu- cator and gave him due credit for de- veloping the university. Shortly after that Dr. Suzzallo was named chair- man of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- vancement of Teaching, of which he had been a member since 1919. Be- fore entering upon that work he took @ long vacation and then accepted an assignment as emissary for the Car- negie Foundation for International HISTORY OF LONG RELATED IN SPHECH Strauss Describes Advances of Club and Entire Move- ment in State The history and future of Lionism in Bismarck and North Dakota were discussed by Dr. F.
