\, i? Correspondence Study Gives Training to 600 High School Courses Offered] quirements in a house unprotect trees are tripled when cold winds) for the Rural Youths Unable to Attend Institutions first annual report to the state board of administration. The project began last October un- der a law passed by the 1935 legisla- ture to provide high school training and develop equality in etlucation for rural and disabled children, Thordar- son reported. Enrollment included 529 pupils at- tending rural schools, 52 attending |, small high schools arid 34 disabled, he stated. Ages of pupils ranged from AT 22, the average being 15 fea old. “Final reports from the supervisors indicate that the attendance of the| correspondence pupils had been very , excellent, the report said. “In spite of the severe winter, the average at- tendance was over 90 per cent.” 1,583 Subjects Completed “Analysis of the records of all the pupils and all their subjects showed @ total enrollment of 2,087 by subjects and that 76 per cent or 1,583 subjects were completed. The final average grade of all the completions during the year was 84.9.” Thordarson explained that these youngsters, scattered over the entire State, were denied the privilege of ateending a regular high school “be- cause their parents happened to live on a farm where their crops did not produce the sufficient surplus to pro- vide for an education.” Under the program rural children who could not attend regular high schools were given opportunity to re- ceive high school training by attend- ing their rural schools where they were permitted to study high sehool subjects by correspondence. Expanded School Curricula Pupils attending small high schools where certain important subjects were not available had opportunity of taking such subjects by corre- spondence providing the subjects were studied in the high school under the supervision of the superintend- ent. Disabled children were allowed to pursue high school subjects at home under supervision of their parents or @ teacher living in the community. “These problems of the rural dis- tricts and small high schools are a bigger problem in North Dakota than probably in any other state,” Thor- Carson. asserted, explaining that from 40 to 50 per cent of North Dakota farm children who complete the eighth grade do not enter high schools. 2 “North Dakota by passing the cor- respondence law is a pioneer and pro- moter of a great coming force in edu- cation soon to be adopted by every state in the union,” he haid. “No educational system is as flexible and adaptable as the correspondence method.” REPUBLICAN FLYING SQUADRON LAUNCHED Speakers in 28 Sound Trucks Begin Invasion of Agri- cultural Midwest Chicago, Sept. 3.—Flying squadrons of speakers to man 28 sound trucks and carry the message of Republican- ism to the agricultural centers of the middlewest Thursday were given final instructions at the headquarters of the Republican national committee's speakers’ bureav here. Each equipped with an excellent speaker and sound operator, the trucks have been given itineraries which will take them into almost every town and village in the great agricultural sections, A. K. Barta of the speakers’ bureau division said. Outlining the problems facing the speakers, Dr. Francis Clair told the pesonnel: ) “You can take the reports of Sec- retary Wallace and his Department of Agriculture and best bring home to the farming and industrial sections on your route just what the New Deal party means to the country. The farmers and workmen want to know how many hundreds of thou- sands of tons and bushels and pounds of foreign products are being dumped on our shores to‘the detriment of “The farm wives will also be inter- ested in excerpts from the Wallace reports showing how the importa- - tions of dried eggs from China de- presses the price of eggs to the fs ers as much as five cents s dozen.’ In_ his talk, Mr. Spangler advised the flying squadron speakers to bring home to their audiences the fact shores by foreign producers. “We Republicans feel: that - this country’s markets belong primarily to should be given to foreign producers.” LaGuardia’s Future Is Topic of Speculation New York, Sept. 3—(#)—The politi- | cal future of Mayor Fiorello La Guardia was the subject of specula- tion Wednesday, with confirmation of the months-old report that he would support President Roosevelt for re-election.
