REPORT
BIG IMPROVEMENTS
HIGH SCHOOLS INCREASE IN NUM-

NINE MILLION
IMPROVEMENTS

J. Fl. Binford. of the cooperative
Education association, pointed out
yesterday some evidences of the re-
markable growth of the public school
system of Virginia as contained in the
recently published report of the State
department of education.
Numerous items showing this
growth can be found In the report"
said Mr.. Binford and he showed the
following list compiled by him:
Some improvements.
In 1900 the school property of the
State was valued at only three and
one-half millions of dollars: in 1911
this sum had grown to nine millions
In the year 1900 there were 1850
loE school houses in the State; only
s54 of such structures now remain.
In 1900 there were less than fifty
high schools in the, State. In 1911
there were a34. with .00o students
doing high school work.
Our public schools In 1911 had an
enrollnent of 409s397. with an aver
age daily attcnde nee o' sixty-four per
cent or this enrolment.

''Thcae facts" he said, with many
others contained in the report show
the increasing interest of the people
in public education. Yet, when ii IL
considered that our school term is
on,y six months and eighteen days,
that many of the teachers are paid
less than forty dollars "a month, and
that "A large number of our smaller
country school buildings are men

realize that We have only begun on
the great work of educating the ris-
