HIGH SCHOOLS
EDUCATING MORE
Than A million

More than a million and quarter
boys and girls will attend the Amerl-
can high schools. public and private,
during the school year 1928, &C
cording TO the estimate Of DR.. p. p.
ClaXton, United States Commissioner
Of education. DR.. Claxton has been as
sured by Mr.. Alexander Summers,
statistician OF the bureau, who has
made special study OF the matter,
that the estimate is conservative
one. OF the number given 10000 are
estimated for the public schools, and
10000 for the private secondary
schools.
The American high school has
years, its development in the last two
or three years being apparently
greater than in the remarkable de-
cade just preceding. Since the TWEEN
tietn century opened the number OF
public high schools has almost dou-
bled and the number of students is
easily twice what it was at the be-
ginning of the century. The most
cheering feature of the whole mat
ter for the American citizen is the
grades into the high school. Former
ly only a very fey years ago, in
fact, the high school was chiefly at
tended by children of the rich and
moderately wel[to-do Today nearlJ
one-fourth of the children who enter
the elementary school eventually
pass into the high school The exact
figure is % per cent, if negroe chill
dren are included, and % per cent if
whites only are considered This is
particularly significant, since certain
critics of the public high school have,
through a misunderstanding of the
official reports, contended that a
much smaller percentage than is here
given had the opportunity of high
school training. The fact remains that
from p to rs Of every hundred chill
dren who enter the schools at all go
on into the high school
Almost equally significant for pub
lie education is the fact that by far
the most rapid growth has been in
the public high schools. The private
secondary schools show a healthy in
crease-haVe actually doubled their
attendance in the same period.

HAWAIIAN GOES INTO
PHILIPPINE SUGAR

1t is reported that D. S. X. Pahu,
a Hawaiian who left here a year ago
to take a position as stenographer in
the executive bureau in Manila, is
considering the organization of a COM
pany to enter the sugar industry in
those islands. Having been familiar
with the development of the sugar in
dustry in Hawaii, he became impress
ed with the favorable conditions for
the industry in the Philippines after
his arrival. Then he made special
study of the matter in its tariff and
other bearings, and the arrival of
George H. Fairchild from Hawaii to
take up sugar there confirmed Mr..
Pahu's purpose to go into the indus
try.
1t is reported that he has associat-
Ell himself with number of business
men in Manila, and that they have &C
quired 1000 acres of land in fee sim
pie, and intend to increase their hold
ings to 10000 acres. Mr.. Pahu is ex-
pected to come back here after COM
pleting two years service with the
government in Manila, and arrange
here for the erection of sugar mill
for his company.

aUmoR OF THEIR OWN MAKE
No Profession, Trade or Industry But
Has lte Own Technical
Jokes.

There Is hardly a profession, trade
or industry nowadays that does not
have a periodical or organ Of It's own.
And few, indeed. are the publications
Of this kind that do not devote week
" or monthly page to the Tighter
side" of the branches Of human activ-
fly to which they are devoted. This
technical humor has a twofold interest
for the layman, that Of the jokes and
anecdotes he can appreciate on the
one hand and that Of those which are
incomprehensible to him on the other.
He finds no difficulty, for instance,
in the familiar anecdote Of the bank
presidents daughter who, on being
Informed that her account was over
drawn, severely told the paying teller
mot to let It happen again or she
would have to speak to papa about IT,"
but he would very likely be unable to
see the humor Of a banking story
whose point lay in some detail Of the
routine Of the clearing house. And yet
the latter might be by far the better
OF the two. The fun Of the story OF
the new boy in the machine shop who
is told to fetch bucket Of steam from
the. engine room is obvious enough,
but that of an anecdote turning on
some technical point of machine con-
struction will appeal only to the INF
tiate. Medicine has its strictly pro-
fessional anecdotes Of sickroom, con-
sulting room and operating room,
many Of which would pe grisly. to
the laymaii II he could grasp their
meaning; but It has also, for his
amusement, it's tales Of the amazing
misinterpretations Of medical direc-
lions by the unsophisticated patients,
chiefly Of Irish and German nativity.
The church and the law, the arts and
the sciences all have this double form
Of humor. No doubt even the under
takers shop has its fund Of anecdote.
One willingly takes It for granted.
The body Of humor keeps close step
with progress and development in all
the professions. trades and Industries.
The humorous columns Of their or
gang are there to prove It. No doubt
aviation has already developed fund
Of technical anecdotes Of its own.
