that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

constitutional disease, requires a

ing thd foundation of the disease, and
giving th patient strength by build
ing up the constitution ane assisting

Population and School Enrolment

| The annual report of the Commits.
sioner of Education for the year 1897
| shows total enrolment in the pub
lie schools Of the United States of A.
52,494, with the population estimated
at 71,374,142. It will be seen that the
per cent of the poulation enrolled is
trifie more than 20k. This estab-
fishes clearly that the custom of null
tiplying the enrolment in the public
schools by five gives a rather close
figure for the population.
But it is not altogether reliable
when isolated cities or states are TAX
en- for consideration. For instance,
in the North Atlantic Division of
States, which embraces all states from
Maine to Pennsylvania, but one state,
and that one Maine, has one-fifth of
the population enrolled in the schools,
and is now as low as 1915 in Con-
necticut, and is but 1856 in New York.
In the South Atlantic Division, with
states from Maryland to Florida, al
most all are 20 or higher, except the
District of Columbia, practically Wash
ington City, where the enrolment is
25:4O. The other census divisions are
between these two. At least they are
fair average
AS to the states with heavy enroll
ments the figures show the farming
states to be far ahead of the eastern
states. Kansas leads all the rest with
an average Of 2767, and Utah next
1855. There may be an explanation
for the Utah situation, but it is only
surmise. Iowa has 26.03, and Tennes-
see and West Virginia are over 25.
The minimum is found in Wyoming,
with only 11.62, and Montana, with
1870. Ohio is only fair average with
2154.
AS basis, then, for estimating pop-
ulation, cities should be multiplied by
six or seven, and sparsely settled COM
munities by four. he result will not.
