SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
STEADILY GROWING
Over Half a Month Added the
Average Length Of
School Term

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The
highest average of school attendance
in the history of the American school
system was reached in the year 1903,
according to statistics gathered by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. Figures for 1910 are not vet
availa bic, but the opinion was express
ed by Dr. e. B. Dreslar, of the bureau,
that 1910 would show still better re-
suits. Returns show, he declared, that
the length of the school term in
creased from 144 days in 1900 to 155
days in 1909, While in the same period
the average number of days attend
ance by each pupil rose from SO to
11S. This means that more than half
a month has been added to the aver
age length of the school term, and in
this particular alone educational eff
fectiveness has been Increased dur
ing the last decade about s per cent.
I'm 1900 our figures show" he add
ed, that the average daily attendance
In the public schools was 1O.6S2,772,
which was CSC per cent of the enroll
ment: in 1909 the aVera ge daily at
tendance reached 12.6S4S37, being
1915 per cent Of the number enrolled
These figures seem to warrant the
conclusion that the children have at
tended the public schools more regu-
larry during the last decade than In
any previous one OF our edueationa
