advantage of education. One table ia
ken from the census shows that the to-
tai number of male adults in 1870 was

illiterate, and that of 5000, 999 females,
2,096, 049 were In the same ignorantcon-
dition. The percentage is therefore
17.15 males and 23.05 females. A table
of expenditure In the States, per capita,
shows that Massachusetts expends the
large amount S20.05, and that Nevada
comes next, with $3.50. The amounts
paid in other States range from IS. 4
cents in North Carolina to S12.18 in
California. The advance in education
was most marked in New England and
the Middle and Western States. There
were 81 academies in the United
States, with an aggregate attendance of
98, 929; 298 institutions reported to the
Bureau as colleges. Of these report
ed preparatory students, 217 collegiate
students. The 217 colleges reported
Is, 260 students in the collegiate course,
of whom /, 419 were females. The in
stitutions for. the superior instruction of
females were It's, 1,617 instructors, of
whom 449 were males and l., 1853 females;
In all, II, 288 students.
