UNIVERSITIES RECORD

MOSCOW, Idaho. Feb. 15.-The
United States Bureau of Education
has just published its annual report
OF the so institutions OF higher edu-
cation that are supported wholly or
in part from public funds. 1t is a
very interesting document In many
ways. The state universities, agri-
cultural colleges etc., had, during
the school year OF 1906 and 1907 a
total attendance OF 92.25O students.
The teaching force is reported as
being 5000. 1900 of whom are in the
professional and preparatory depart
ments, and the remaining 1000 in
the regular collegiate and engineer
ing courses.
A comparison OF the standing OF
Idaho with the six universities in the
states adjoining her will be of inter-
est to all the citizens of the state,
and to the high school students es-
pecially who are on the eve Of choos-
ing the place of their continued
work in seeking an education. The
figures for Idaho are for the ealen-
dar year 1907. for the other schools
they cover the school year ending
June 1907. In attendance Idaho
stands just midway in the list. the
column being: Washington. 1892
students enrolled; Utah, 1908; Ore
gOn. SOS; Idaho. 474; Montana 3S3,
Nevada 343. Wyoming 264. In num-
Der of teachers the position is the
same although Utah makes no re-
port: Washington e6. Oregon 81,
Idaho 40. Nevada 81. Montana 20,
Wyoming 25. In Wyoming a major
ity of the teachers are connected with
the preparatory department. and in
Nevada two-fifths are doing this
work. The students in preparatory
work in Utah number 442. or over
two fifths of the entire attendance,
and four and a half times the num-
Der in its regular liberal arts course.
The number doing this latter regu-
lar college work in Utah is just 100.
or one tenth OF the registration. The
institutions where there is a small
percentage OF students In the liberal
arts courses have usually a large
roll OF special course and prepare
tory students. Idaho has three times
as many doing this regular work as
Nevada and four times as many as
Wyoming. All these northwestern
schools have a large registration in
the engineering departments: in
