DECREASE IN
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE,

Are fewer children born? DO
larger numbers die per million of
population now than twenty years
ago? Or is the average length of hu-
man life materially increasing?
These are questions suggested in the
Introduction Of the statistical report
of the United States bureau OF edu-
cation for 1911, following the state
ment that the percentage OF the total
population enrolled in the schools in
1910 was less than in 1890,
1t is pointed out that important
methods OF gathering statistics ae-
count for a part of the loss, but on
the other hand other authorities note
that compulsory education laws and
like social agencies are bringing q
greater and greater proportion OF
children to the seheelheuse door. The
Introductory statement to the edu-
cation bureaus document says in
part;
There was an apparent decrease
in the percentage Of the total popu-
lation enrolled in the schools as a
whole from 1884 in 1890 to 21.54 in
1910. The loss may be given In num-
bers as 919,723. In other words, the
grand total of school enrolment in
1910 would have been 30, 731, s45 IL the
percentage Of 1890 had maintained, in
place of the 1g,s11,s22 grand total.
"All this loss and more is suffered
by the elementary schools, for the
higher institutions made substantial
gains and the secondary schools show
marked increase In enrolment as
compared with the total population.
There is no reason for the belief
that the schools have lost ground in
reality. This comparison is with to-
tai population, not school population,
and It is probable that there are Feia-
lively fewer children now than form
erly.
IF there are not SO many children
propoftionally, there will naturally be
pFo~portionally fewer pupils. Further
more IL is well known that the con
slant Improvement in statistical meth
dds has resulted in the elimination to
an increasing extent OF duplicate en-
rollments. The decrease that results
Is apparent only and auses no o
Germ"
In further support OF this conten-
ton, figures are cited which show
that had the apparent relative de-
crease of STATES in enrolment been
real the loss would have been more
than made up in the increased effi-
cheney Of the common schools, for the
per cent OF average daily attendance
increased from 1851 in 1890 to 71.3O
in 1910; the average length OF school
term Increased from i34.T days to 1875
days between the same dates. At the
