THE KNOWLEDGE ROOT
Twenty Per Cent of Entire Population
Enrolled in Common Schools.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4.-The
report of the commissioner of education
for the last fiscal year places the total
number of pupils enrolled in the COM
mon schools during the year at 15,925,-
SS7, or 20 per cent of the entire popu-
lation. The average daily attendance
for 1902 was 10,999,273, being SO per
cent of the total number enrolled. This
is the largest average attendance on
the number enrolled ever reported in
the United States. The actual average
number of days attended by each pu-
Dill enrolled reached 100 days, which
was % days in excess of that of 1870.
The school term for the time In the
history of the United States reached
145 days. The average monthly wages
of teachers for 1902 was $40 for males
and about $40 for females. Less than
% per cent of the teachers were males
or 122,392 out of a total of 439,596.
The private schools are tabulated at

The total enrolment for the year, in
Guiding public and private, elementary,

dergartens, Indian schools state schools
for detectives, orphans, etc, 620,840,
making a grand total of 18,0S0,840 in
general and special schools.
The increase in the length of the
school term to 145 days is due to the
growth of cities and large villages. The
school year includes 200 days in nearly
all of the large cities and $50 days in
the majority of the villages. With the
growth of cities the regular state tax
for school purposes grows less and the
p local taxation increases,

population is placed at 1882 days. The
average in the North, Atlantic states is
1854 days and in the South Central
division 622 days. In 1900 the aver
age was 80 days.

Struction (the ninth to the thirteenth
years work of the course of study
numbered in all 734,760 in 1902, and
only 367,003 in 1890.
OF these pupils, 566,124 were enrolled
in public institutions and 168,636 in pri-
vate institutions and in preparatory
departments of institutions for higher
education. The public high schools en-
rolled 10 per cent of the entire number
of secondary students. The value of
the school property of the high schools
of the United States amounted to near
ly $125,000,000; that of private schools
of the same grade amounted to $685.
100000 About one-half of the private
schools are controlled by religious de-
nominations.
The total number of universities, col
leges and chronological schools is 63S,
of which 131 admit women and only
1874 universities and colleges admit only
men to undergraduate departments and
$50 admit both men and women.

came To Las Cruces from Jamaica to
become entomologist in the A. & M.
college. During his years Of service
in New Mexico he has been without
peer In biological science. AS an
authority on scale insects he is without
a rival in the United States. This
fact was recognized by the agricultural
department at Washington, when a

gists to come TO the capital for the
purpose of giving instruction In en-
tomology 10 the skilled experts In the

Prof cockerell has done more for
the advancement OF science In New

than all other scientists put together.
His writings are printed In every
written tongue used on the European
