SCHOOL POPULATION.

In round numbers there are 22,000,-
600 persons enrolled in educational
institutions in the United States in
1914, according to the annual report
of the Commissioner of Education just
issued. OF these over 100000 were
in elemntary schools; 1874, 900 in sec
ondary schools, both public and pri-
vate; and PIC, 100000 in colleges and
universities. Close to another hun-
dred thousand were in normal schools
preparing to be teachers, $1,000 we're
in professional schools, and the re-
mainder were scattered through other
types of institutions. The teachers
for this educational army numbered
100000, of whom 566, 900 were in pull
lie schools. In point of rapid growth
the public high schools still presents
the most impressive figures, the en-
lrollment for 1914 being over $4,000
than for the year before.
The cost of education for the year
as estimated by the bureau, was $751;
100000. "This three quarters of a bill
lion is relatively small amount when
compared with other items in the
public expense" declares the report.
at is less than three hundred million
than of the cost of running the fed
,eral government; it is less than one
third the nations expenditure for al
caholic liquors; it is only little over
three times the estimated cost OF
admissions to moving picture theatres
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 its cotton crop
somewhat less than the value of OF its
wheat crop. and less than half of the
value of the annual harvest of corn
while the nations bill for education
was less by nearly hundred millions
than the value of the exports from the
harbor in New York in the calendar
year just passed.
