our rank as naval power may Ia the

Doubtless many sincere advocates OF

The report also shows that, accord
ents, there were enrolled in the schools

smaller enrolment the attendance Is
substantially what it was.
The total number OF teachers en-
ployed last year was 27.149 as against
27,950 four years before.
The total amount expended on the
schools for 1911 was $14.309,299.
