according to E. M. Van Cleve, staff
tician of the board of education.
In its report for the year ended
July 81 last, the United States bureau
of education estimates that there were
25,000,000 persons attending schools
of some kind that year. 9TH; means, !"
says P. p. Claxton, commissioner If
the bureau, "that approximately "a
per cent of the inhabitants of the
United States are attending school,
as compared with 10 per cent in Great
Britain, II per cent in France, 20 per
cent in Germany, and little over A
per cent in Russia.
The bureau points out, however,
that the result is much less favorable
to the United States if daily attend
ance, rather than enrolment, is taken
as the basis for comparison, since
some of the other nations have better
attendance and a longer school term
than the United States.
Number of pupils in public kinder
garten and elementary schools in the
United States rose from 100000 in
1910 to 1895, 900 in 1914, an increase
of more than 100000 in four years.
Ir the same period the number of pub
lie high school students increased from
915,000 to 1,219,000, and for 1915
the corresponding figure was 1922
600. AS the result of this increase of
10000 in public high school students

$4,000 high schools of all kinds in

Minnesota's family of children lin
public schools was 1888 larger last
year than the year before, as disclosed
by the annual summary compiled in
the office Of C. G. Schulz, state sup
erintendent of education.
Last year AL ,583 boys and girls at

high school, in city and in country,

coming holidays, imbibing lifelong in
SEPARATIONS and being graduated or
expelled.
The average number of days of at
tendance in Minnesota public schools
last year was LAT for high and graded
schools, the report states, as against
$50 in 1915, and in rural schools, los
and 1O3 for the respective years. The
decrease is attributed to the unusual
ly severe weather last winter.
A slight increase in the number of
men teachers was shown in 1876 in
high and graded schools, but the num-
Der of men remained stationery in the
rural schools. "The same is true of
women teachers" the report continues.
For 1915, there were teaching in
high and graded schools 1,26O men
and in rural schools $50. Women
teachers in high and graded schools
were 7,141 and in rural schools 1919.
The total number of teachers for 1916

average salaries have remained
practically stationery. The number of
graduates teaching in rural schools
from teacher training departments
during 1916 was 3,208, an increase of
S31 over the previous year.
"Under the cost account, it appears
that the total receipts for 191516, in
GLIDING cash on hand at the beginning
of the year, was $26,359,78 an in
crease of $2,OO0,000 over the previous
year. The expenses for 1916 were $21,-
SOC, 900, an increase of exactly $4,000
900 over the previous year. Of this
amount, $11 100000 or about one-half
was paid for teachers wages, which
item shows an increase of $1,000,00C
expended for the same purpose during
1915"
