THE NATIONS SCHOOLS

In round numbers there were %,
100000 persons enrolled in educa-
tional institutions in the United
States in 1914, according to the an
Eual re port of the Commissioner of
Education, just issued Of this num-
her, 100000 were in elementary
schools, l,S74.000 in secondary
schools, both public and private,
and $4,000 in colleges and univer-
sites. Close to another 100000
were in normal schools preparing tc
be teachers. $1,000 were in profes-
sional schools, and the remainder
were scattered through other types
Of institutions.
The teachers for this educational
army numbered 100000, of whom
$4,000 were in the public schools.
The cost of education for the year
was $750,00O.0O0 Not the least in
teresting of the data shown, as in
dicating theprogress of education, il
the rapid grown of the public high
school. The enrolment for 1914 is
greater by over 1000 than the year
before.
The cost of education, according to
the Commissioner, is less by $780,
100000 than the cost of running
the federal government; is less than
one-third the nation's expenditure
for liquor, and is only little over
threee times the cost of admission
to moving picture theatres in the
United States.
