GROWTH A MARVEL
Latest Report Shows Wonderful
Increase In Schools.
BIG SHOWING OF U. OF NJ.
Were No High Schools In 1883
Per Capita Apportionment Increased
From 80 Cents to 81 o. In Fifty
Years.

Lansing, Mich, Nov. 30.-The cur
rent report OF Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction Fall embodies some
very interesting statistics which show
the marvellous growth of the educa
tional system OF Michigan. For ex
ample, the report OF the regents OF
the university shows that the esti.
mated expenses OF that institution for
the year 1849 were sl1, Zoy Al; the esti
mated receipts for the ensuing year
$4,000; the number Of professors is
given as seven, with the additional
statement that there is no tutor EN-
ployed." The salary of the professors
was $3.50 80 each term, there being
three collegiate terms in the year. A
total OF eighty-four students were re-
ported in attendance.
In marked contrast with the above
is the report OF the treasurer of the
board of regents for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1901, which shows
that the receipts OF the university for
that year amounted to 1888, 423 Is, and
the disbursements to 1868 81. The
latest calendar OF the university gives
the names OF 262 members OF the fac
ulty and officers, and an aggregate at
tendance OF 3,7l2 students.
On the side OF the rural schools the
contrast is equally as interesting. inc
whole number OF children OF school
age in the state in 1853 was reported
10 be 1922, while in 1902 the number
school interest apportioned among the
counties of the state In 1853 was $39,-
013 50. a per capita distribution of 33
cents. In 1902 the amount apportionsd
was s 900 .459 A, per capita OF 81 60.
1t should be borne in mind that in
Michigan; tn. is to say. high schools
recognized by law. The only institu-
lions for education beyond the COM
mon schools were a few academies,
the normal school and the university.
The law giving the people the oppor-
tunity to establish and maintain high
schools was enacted in 1859. and az
the present time there are in the state
$50 graded districts having high
schools. In addition TO these, note
must be taken OF the numerous denom-
national colleges. normal schools and
business colleges In considering the in.
creased educational facilities given
the young people OF Michigan at the
present time.
superintendent Fall says that these
figures show but poorly the great adj
vance made in educational matters
during the past fifty years.
I'm order to fully comprehend this"
he says. lit will be necessary TO take
into account the conditions existing
at that early period and compare them
with the conditions existing now, be-
cause present conditions are largely
made possible through the growth OF
educational sentiment and educational
opportunities
