Santa F'e, Dec. 9.-The average daily
enrolment in the public schools for
the past fiscal year was 1929, or

less than one-half of the school cen
.sus. However, it must be remember
ed that the school census includes ev-

and that the statistics cover only the
public schools and not sectarian, IN
dian or private schools. The enroll
ment is 67,147, or two-thirds Of the
school census as against 81 per cent
the year before.
Most deplorable, however, are the
figures of the enrolment by grades
demonstrating that the great major
ity of the children drop out Of school
before reaching the grammar grade
and only small per cent reach high
school, much less finish the high
school course, for only one-thirtieth
of the entire enrolment is found in
