1t was computed that the number OF
children ranging in age from to is
years was 24,262,936 The difference
in sex was not striking, the boys num-
bering 12,225,149 and the girls 12,OS7,-
7S7. The estimated number of male
persons more than 81 years of age
was 1885, 19.
Taking the above figures as foun-
dation, it was found an enrolment of
16,S9031S of all ages between 8 and
Is was equal to 69.S1 per cent of the
school population. The per cent of en-
rollment showed decrease, and in 1900
it was 72.43 per cent. In 1890 it was
6S.61 per cent; in 1880 it was $3.50 per
cent and in 1870 the percentage was
61.45.
The sex difference in enrolment was
less than in the matter of school pop
ulation. 1t is shown that Sab, 921
boys and S,416,S97 girls were enrolled.
This represented 1915 per cent of the
total population.
That abundance of work was found
for truant officers and persistent par
ents is found in the fact that the av-
erage daily attendance at school was
11,925672, or 1880 per cent of the en-
tire enrolment.
The average length of the annual
school term was fraction more than
ISL days. In 1871 it was 1872 days, in
1880 but 100, in 1890 only 134 days,
and in 1900 it had increased to LA
days. The average number of days
schooling given every child between
and Is was TAG.

rhe Meaning of Dreams.

1t is well known, for example, says
II. Addington Bruce in Success Maya
zine, that dreams have stimulated men
to remarkable intellectual achieve
ments, and have even supplied the ma
terial for these achievements. Thus,
Coleridge composed "Kubla Kahn" in
dream Tartini got his Devils
Sonata" from a dream in which the
devil appeared and challenged him to
musical competition. 1t was a dream
that gave Voltaire the first canto of
his Henriade," and Dante's "Divina
Commedia" is likewise said TO have
been inspired by dream.
Many novelists, on their own adj
mission, have obtained the plots for
some of their best works from mate
rails provided in dreams 4 particu-
larly impressive instance is that of
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose Chap
ter on Dreams,' in his book, Across
the Plains" should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do for a
man intellectually. The solution of
battling mathematical problems, the
ideas necessary to complete some in
vention, have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known to rise in his sleep and iot
down the information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets all
about the helpful dream, and on awak-
ng is greatly surprised at finding the
record he has made of it. Which
shows that-as with the visions so po-
emily influencing health-it is posi-
lie for dreams to aid a man in an
Intellectual way without his being con-
iciously aware of them.

The Etiology of Pain

E. G. Janeway of New York says
that we should be cautious in labelling
a severe pain as hysterical. Pain due
to toxic influences may battle US I'M
less we make diligent inquiry of the
patient and his friends Sciatica
should be carefully scrutinized, since
condition that seems simple may
be caused by pressure of malignant
growth. Pain in the abdomen may
come, from the kidney instead of the
appendix, and it requires careful
search 70 know whether pain comes
from the kidney, gall bladder or ap-
pendix. Pain of ataxia may stimulate
some of these conditions. Pain in
angina pectoris is severe and charac-
teristic; when combined with in
creased blood pressure and ashy lips
it should not be mistaken. Medical

100000 CHILDREN IN
SCHOOLS OF UNITED STATES.
Army Attending Glasses Is About
One-Fifth of the Total Popu-
lation of the Country.

An enormous army of children is en-
gagged in the regular winter campaign
for education This peaceful force
numbers more than 100000 persons.
Those composing it will range in age
from to IS years. 1t represents the
common school system of the States.
The bureau of education is branch
of the general government and collects
statistics concerning the schools. Com
plete returns for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1907, have been received
from every State except Delaware and
Montana This made it possible to
compile the most complete and valua-
bic data ever available.
The figures obtained by the bureau
of education show that at the close of
the school year in June, 1907, there
was a total enrolment of 16,S90,S1S
children in the oonxnon schools of the
various States. This included 4,7S0
296 in the public schools of the 661
cities having more than 5000 popnla-
ton and 1864 in the 664 cities rang
ing in population from 1000 to 5000.
1t also included 751,0S1 students be-
longing to city and rural high schools
connected with State systems.
The population of the United States
has materially increased during the
past two years, so the total army OF
school children for the present cam
paign will be largely in excess of IL
100000.
Census officials estimated the total
population of the country in June,
1907, to be S5,526,761. On that basis
