United States Report Shows
Small College Attendance.

Washlngton.-The enrolment In col
leges and universities in the United
States is only 216,O00, or less than /
per cent of a total of 22,O00,000 in all
the educational institutions of the
country, according to the annual re
port issued by the United States COM
missioner of education. More than
100000 were enrolled In the elemen-
tary schools, while 1,374,OO0 were In
secondary schools, both public and pri-
yate. Nearly 100000 were In normal
schools preparing to be teachers, $1,000
were In professional schools, while
the rest were divided among other
types of institutions.
These students got instruction from
100000 teachers, of whom &c., 900 We're
in the public schools. In point of rapid
growth the public high school still pre-
cause the enrolment for the last year
was more than $4,000 in excess of the
preceding one.
The cost OF education in 1914, ac-
cording to the estimate of the commits
sioner OF education, was $750,000, 900.
He adds in his report:
This three-quarters of a billion dol
lars Is a relatively small amount com
pared with other items In the public
expense. 1t Is less by 100000 than
the COS of running the federal govern
ment- 1t Is less than one-third the
nations expenditure for alcoholic
liquors. 1t IL only a little more than
three times the estimated cost of ad-
mission to motion picture theaters in
the United States for the same year.
Measured In terms of products of the
soil. the United States spent somewhat
more for education In 1914 than the
value OF a cotton crop, and less than
the value OF the wheat crop, and less
than half the value Of the annual
harvest OF corn, which the nations
bill for education vas less by nearly
500, 600 than the value of the ex-
ports from the harbor OF New York

SMILES DON'T sWERVE JURY

SAN FRANCISCO. March 4.-"The
suggestion that smiles may be used

ity to obtain new capital was discuss
ed before Interstate Commerce Com.
missioner Daniels In the petition Of
IL western railroads for permission
to increase freight rates. Festus J..
Wade, a banker OF ST. Louis, testi'
fled that owing to their poor earnings
western railroads were unable to OBJ
tain money except on high rates OF
interest out OF proportion to that ask
ed from Industrial corporations.
ITO what do you attribute the II.
nancial depression from which the
railroads are suffering?" asked Luth-
er Walker. counsel for the packing
interests. who are opposing the In
creases.
Attacks ON Railroads Blamed.
IL attribute IT," said Mr.. Wade
largely to the attacks OF, state rail-
road commissions in reducing the
railroads revenue. to onerous acts by
state legislatures and to wild and ex-
travagant charges against railroads"
"If business conditions throughout
the country are poor now do you
think II would hasten prosperity to
tax the shippers?"
1T would help hasten prosperity 10
restore the credit OF railroads. Many
shippers who are now suffering from
business depression would be glad to
pay higher rates to improve busl-
ness"
Don't you think 1t is rather mis-
management and the selling OF blue
sky and water that has hurt the
roads more than state commission
ers" asked Everett Jennings, coun-
sci for the Illinois public utilities
commission.
"Wild statements" Hurt Credit.
IT'S just such wild statements that
you have made. that has hurt their
credit" replied Mr.. Wade.
Mr. Wade said no better illustra-
tion OF the impairment OF railroad
credit could be shown than in the
fact that savings banks had been re-
quired to charge OF sl25. 100000 and
life and fire insurance companies
500 100000 in the last year on ac'
count OF railroad securities held by
