SHOWS INCREASE FOR YEAR

Washington. Dee 2s.-The highest
average OF school attendance in the
history of American school system
was reached in the year 1908. accord
ing 70 statistics gathered BY the Uu-
tied -stases bureau Of education Fig
ures for 1910 are not yet available.
but the opinion was expressed today
by DR.. F. B. Dresier Of the bureau
that 1910 would show sim better re-
Suits.
Returns show. be declared. that the
length Of the school term Increased
from I4a days in 1900 to los days IN
1909. while IN the same period the
average number OF days attended BY
each pupil rose from SO to lls- This
means that more than half month
has been added to the average length
OF the school term and in this par
tIcuiar alone. educational effective
ness has been increased daring the
las, decade about per cent
In $500. our figures show he said,
that the average daily attendance in
The public schools Was lo.sss,72s-
which was CSC per cent OF the enroll
ment; in 1903. the average daily at
tendance reached lscsa.ss7. bcins72.S
per cent OF the number enrolled.
These figures seem to warrant the
conclusion that the children have at
tended the public schools more reg
niarly during the last decade than IN

history"
