State Superintendent Olson reports that Minnesota has 412.000 children enrolled, of whom 353'000 are repre- sented in the apportionment. The average term of school in the rural districts is 6.9 months. By this way the present minimum to secure state grants is five months, and many school men favor increasing it to seven. If the average is now so close to seven months, it is probable that all the better shools have already adopted that term. The legal term in Wisconsin is seven months... In grade school districts the average term is 8.95 months, approximately nine.
