decrease is attributed to the unusual

A slight increase in the number Of
men teachers was shown in 1856 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

according to E. M. Van Cleve, stati-
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. '"Thi, means"
says P. P. Claxton, commissioner #
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 longer school term
than the United States.
Number of pupils in public kinder
garten end 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
915,0O0 to 100000, and for 1915
the corresponding figure was 1922
