NEU-JERSEY SCHOOLS.

In his report for 1880, Mr. Apgar, Superintendent
of Public Instruction in New-Jrisry, has compiled
All interesting set of tables regarding the ages Of
school children in that State and the length of time
during which they enjoy school advantages Every
child between the ages OF live and eighteen years rs
entitled to school privileges, and the school census
includes all the children between these ages or
course only a small proportion of the whole number
of children attend school during the entire thirteen
years of their school age, and, therefore, when at
any given wear it is reported that 80 per cent of
these children are neither enrolled in the public
schools nor attend private schools the exhibit is not
so Encouraging rs 1t appears at first sight for
parents may well conclude that children between
five and six are too young to be away from home
and the great bulk of those between sixteen aud
eighteen may be supporting themselves, after hav-
ing enjoyed instruction for ten full years.
From calculations based upon remarkably full
statistics furnished by the city superintendents
throughout the State 1.-THE country schools being
neglected in this estimated the following facts ara
de0uced: Dividing the entire census into thirteen
classes of the children between the ages of five and
six, 81 per cent attend no school between six and
seven, per cent: seven and eight per cent;
eight and nine per cent; nine and ten, per cent;
ten and eleven. per cent eleven and twelve. IL
per cent; twelve and thirteen, 20 per cent
thirteen and fourteen. 81 per cent; fourteen and
fifteen, OF per cent; fifteen and sixteen. 81 per
cent sixteen and seventeen, 90 per cent? seventeen
and eighteen, 80 per cent.
The first fact to be remarked is that only one
child in a hundred between the ages OF seven aud
ten enjoys no instruction whatever. Some Of the
ninety mine may attend school only few days, but
they are all enrolled and have the advantage
of a certain amount of training The second
fact to be observed Is the rapidity with which
children drop out Of school alter reaching
the age OF twelve, the school course OF moro than
one-haf being completed before they reach fifteen.
while only Is per cent Of those between fifteen and
sixteen attend either public or private schools.
In ascertaning the averages Tor all the cities
exceptional conditions are worth noting. In Mill
vile, o manufacturing town, there are moro chill
dren In school belonging to the class between five
aud than TO any other class, and the school list
decreases with each successive year, which shows
that IN Melville children are graduated at an I'M
usually early age. The maximum attendance Is
