SCHOOL REPORT.
Commissioner of Education Gives
Statistics for the Year.

Commissioner of Education Gives
Statistics for the Year.
Washington, d. c Oct. 21.-The an
nual report of the commissioner of
education, just submitted to the secre-
tary of the interior, shows that the
total of pupils in schools, elementary,
secondary, and higher, both public and
private, in the United States for the
year ending June so, 1901, was H.
299, 230. an increase of 27S,520 pupils
over the previous year.
OF this number the enrolment of
pupils in institutions supported by
general and local taxes furnished by
states and municipalities was 1870
1874, as against 15,443, 462, the number
reported for the previous year.
Besides these there were certain
special institutions like city evening
schools business schools, schools for
Indians, reform schools, schools con
nected with asylums, schools for
cookery, and other special trades and
vocations, all enrolled nearly half a
million pupils. Adding the enrolment
in these special schools to that for
general education, the aggregate is
over seventeen and three-quarter mil
lions of the population that received
education for a longer or shorter
period during the year ending June
30, 1901.
The value of property used for pub
lie school purposes has risen to $576,-
963 OS9 from $3.50, 3SO,O0S in 1870, and
the expenditures for the common
schools Gncluding elementary and
secondary schools, but excluding all
institutions for higher eduCation)
amounted to 1926, 043, 236, having risen
to this sum from 500 1896 ,666 in 1870.
In 1870 the expenditure for schools
per capita of the population was
1854; the last year it was 1898 per
capita of the population, the highest
it has ever been. 1t was an increase
of 10 cents to each man, woman and
child over the year previous. The
average attendance of each pupil for
the entire number enrolled was nine
ty-nine days for the year, an increase
of twentyfour days over the previous
| year.

wildly enthusiastic, especially during
the speeches of John Dillon ana

tons which were adopted at the close

cheers.
Dillon declared that the people of
Ireland are denied free speech, free
discussion in press and liberty of pub
lie meeting and trial by jury. He re-
counted the experiences of the Irish
leaders in trying to address public
meetings. Davitt told of the member
ship of the league. Citing a statement
OF General Botha that If 5000 lrishmen
had gone from America to help the
beers after Paardeburg, the power of
England would have Eeen smashed IN
south Africa, Davitt declared he be-
lieved the brethren in this country at
that time deserted the cause of Ireland
in not fighting against England.
The platform and resolutions pledge
