METHINK'S I hear the old school bell ringing in the yard where the Frisco building now stands. School le about to "take up," and Iwe all flle into the building which housed 640 pupila of all sises and. ages, and cont $2000. Mr. Fairbanks was superintendent then, and war still advisory superintendent when he died in 1917 at 89 years of age. Today we have enrolled in the se- nior and Junior high schools and the grades something over 11.000 puplia.

Drury college has an enrollment of 450. Catholic schoola 500, Teach- era college over 1000, with a music marchment of ilu, and Greenwood Over 450 with a long waiting list. Children are enrolled for this de- partment on the day of their birth. The first atale appropriation lo our public schools In 1849 was $114.27. In 1925 it was near $60.000. The reostpts were something over $780,- Det, with expenditures of · $617.000. leaving a balance of $113.000. We can justly feel proud of our widely known educational advantages and the produ: Is thereof.
