IMMENSE ARMY OF STUDENTS
About 14,ooo,coo at Present in th. E. ueationaI Institutions of the
 United States.

If the entire school army of s,,. dents in the United States be mus. tered as an educational display f. would represent probably 14.OOO Ooo persons. of whom about 92 per cent are white. The exact number. accord ing to the twelfth census, on June 1 1900, was 13,367.147. Until the thh. teenth census. of the United States Is issued. in 1910, there can be m definite estimate of the increase in numbers. The twelfth census of the United States apportions the national school army as follows: Four million two hundred and sixty five thousand three hundred and two persons from i've to nine years of age and 6,453,3s4 persons from ten to fourteen years of age. Other persons ranging from fifteen to seventeen years of age constitute not quite IS per cent. of the entire strength of the educational forces, and those of eighteen and over about five per cent. of the whole mum. Der.
 A significant fact was revealed in the research which was made in est mating the actual and the possible strength of the school army of the United States, that out of the entire number of children ranging between five and nine years of age available only half attended school; of those from ten to fourteen years of age sub. stantially four-fifths and of those from fifteen to seventeen a little over two fifths.
