MINN. In one classroom, at St. Joseph's Catholic parochial school, a sister was instructing some 9 and 10-year- olds in methods of improving; sanitary conditions around a home.

In Neighbors peering from windows during Friday night storm The pupils were all children of Texas Mexicans working in Red River valley sugar beet fields. There were more than 100 of them, ranging in age from 2's to 13.

The number reflects the vastly increased attention being paid to educational requirements of children of migatory field workers who move so frequently the youngsters rarely get more than a few weeks of formal education at a time. While Protestant church groups are increasing their activities in the valley and in southern Minnesota, and public school authorities are wrestling with the problem, most of the work being done now among the children of migratory workers is at ijCJ I Krr Hf Aqua Events TODAY ('Denotes free spectator events) 8 p.m. Aquatennial WCCO radio show, Minneapolis Auditorium.

No major damage or injuries were reported from the Lake parochial schools. In the Moorhead school, a bus and station wagon pick up the children Monday morning at their homes. They remain at the schools until Friday afternoon.

That insures regular attendance, plus proper care outside the classrooms and regular meals. Sister DeChantal, the principal, said there is standard classroom instruction, with allowance for the fact most pupils are two or three years behind in classrooms. Many 7 or 8 years old never have been in school. The nuns teach English to their pupils, and in turn find they pick up a working vocabulary of Spanish from their proteges, many of whom speak little or no English. There is instruction In personal cleanliness and the five sister-teachers, in the staff of 12, stress household sanitation in the hope some of the information will be carried home.

And, of course, there is religious instruction and plenty of exercise on the playground. The considerable expense of the six-week boarding school is borne as a Crookston diocesan project, as is a similar project at the Crookston cathedral grade school. Another school, with a three-week program, is carried on at Casselton, N. by sisters from the Fargo diocese. The National Council of Churches home missions council and the migrant worker committee of the Minnesota Council of Churches are expanding their educational efforts in western and southern Minnesota.

There is a two-week school running now at Cummings, east of East Grand Forks, and others are to be conducted at Eldred and Fisher, Minn. There are three teams of three persons each working in the Red River valley and in southern Minnesota, with expectations they will conduct about 10 of the two-week schools. Those schools have general religious instruction, classroom instruction as standard as it can be and general instruction in crafts. The teams hold "family nights," during which the family groups sing, see movies or slides and listen to talks, which usually get around to methods of sanitation around the home. While there are a few- Texas Mexican children among pupils at the summer laboratory school, operated for students at the Moorhead State Teachers college, there seemed to be little further effort in the public school systems to reach children in migratory worker families.

The Minnesota compulsory education law requires all children in a school district between 8 and 16 years old to attend school, unless they are excused, every day while classes are conducted. The law, when applied to children of Texas Mexicans, who arrive in the areas before the public schools close, has caused considerable trouble and some resentment among public school officials in rural communities. They point out that a country school may have facilities for a normal enrollment of say 50 pupils, and suddenly be confronted with the problem of accommodating another 50 children moving into the district 'or a month or so.

St. Paul Vetoes Higher Sewer Rate The St. Paul city council decided Friday to make no increase in sewer rental rates through 1952, even though costs of operation have increased.

Income from rentals will not meet the bill but reserve funds will make up the difference, a technical committee reported. Rental receipts from property owners pay St. Paul's share of operating the Twin Cities sewage disiwsal plant. Furlough Granted A veteran of more than 20 years in Catholic missions in Korea, the Rev.

Korenkemper said many lake residents were buying new dock equipment early today to replace docks washed away during the storm. He said several residents noted that the lake had risen at least six inches and some claimed that a rise of up to eight inches followed the storm.

A long-distance view of the lake showed very few docks protruding from the water as most equipment was apparently either blown away or covered by the rising lake waters. Lake residents reported that many boats and much debris were floating in the lake. At Medicine Lake, the storm did heavy damage in two sections of the area. Homes on the peninsula lost roofs and sidings, while on Thirty-first avenue N. near Mission farm a trailer house was overturned.

The decision eliminates an increase which has been in effect for the last week, and affects Safeway groceries in 23 states. Hill District Hardest Hit in St. Paul The so-called hill district, the city's oldest and proudest section, was the hardest hit in St.

Paul. The tall elms which line the boulevards from Snelling to the loop and from Marrnall avenue to Pleasant avenue were twisted, torn and uprooted. Few homes were damaged but automobiles parked under the trees bore the brunt of the storms. There was hardly a block in some areas In which one or two cars hadn't been smashed under huge tree trunks. Streetcar lines and power wires strung; on boulevards were torn down and cedar block pav ing which had survived many a previous rainstorm was scattered over nearly every street.

Milton Rosen, commissioner of public works, and Bernard T. Holland, commissioner of parks and playgrounds, said damage to streets and boulevard trees may total several hundred thousand dollars. Some of the streets appear beyond repair. Travel from Highland park to the loop or across town through the hard-hit area was like picking one's way through a maze. Alleys provided the quickest transportation as virtually every street was blocked in some stretches and some were impassable for blocks.

Anckcr hospital SI. Paul treated approximately 50 persons but only six of them were admitted. One of them, Dick Linstad, 14, 826 Marshall avenue, owes his life to an off-duty Anckcr hospital nurse, Dorothy Halvorson, 380 Fulton street.

Minnetonka area, but boats and cabin cruisers torn from their moorings were floating in all parts of the lake. From 45 to 50 cottages were abandoned at Long Lake as occupants fled waters which moved as much as 100 feet away from the normal shoreline of the lake. In the village of Long Lake itself three fallen trees and washed banks still stopped traffic across highway 12.

Cars were forced to detour along side roads. During the height of the storm the 60-foot high Long Lake feed mill was washed from its foundations by the torrent. According to Bernie Hagberg, municipal liquor store manager, "sacks of feed floated down a newly-formed creek down the main street." Residents of the Long lake cottages on the worst hit south and northwest shores were attempting to return to their homes today after spending the night with friends and relatives. The heavy rains weakened tracks of the Great Northern railroad In the village and forced a train to crawl through the community during the storm, according to Hagberg. Power service was still out early today in much of the village.

The boat storage shed of the Orono Boat Works on the north shore of Browns Bay, Lake Minnetonka, "just disappeared" during the peak of last night's storm. "One second the building was there," declared Merle Halver-son, manager, "then it was down." "One wall sailed right over the office of the boat works where we were on duty and landed one block away on county highway 7." Halverson said the storm was the worst one he could recall. He said approximately 25 boats were damaged. Wayzata mayor, John Joyner, said that power at the municipal sewage and power plants was still out early today, but that water storage facilities were adequate for some time. Wayzata city crews were out all night, Joyner said, removing trees and branches from main highways and sidestreets.

In Excelsior, the volunteer fire department worked all through the night pumping water out of stores on Water street, the village's main thoroughfare.
