Snecial 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL

the States provision for the payment
OF tuition in town high schools for
pupils In grades z to II inclusive,
from rural districts. the high school
enrolment becomes an interesting
subject of study, as shown by ad-
Varte reports OF Stale commissioner
of Education DR.. Charles A. Wagner.
The proposition of rural pupils IN
these town high schools has peen a
subject Of frequent estimation Inc
actual figures are as follows

schools. As: nonresident pupils en-
rolled in Wilmington High Schools

high school education. 9S1 resident
SIS nonresident.
'aThe ASP nonresident pupils IN
town high schools are 80 per cent. OF
the 1889 enrolled In high school
grades: thus one-third of the pupils
in town high schools are nonresident
or rural pupils.
For the State the computation
shows that we have "A pupils enrolled
in our high schools for each 1000 pu-
pills in our elementary schools. In
1911 the Russell Sage Foundation cred
tied the State with Sc high school
pupils for each 1000 in the eiemen-
tary schools and ranked us twenty
seventh. AT that time Minnesota had
"a high school pupils for each 1000 In
the elementary schools. and was rank
ed twentieth OF the forty-eight States
the Union.
Conditions are improved, whether
our relative position is changed or
not, for doubtless other States have
improved conditions also. A slight
correction for our figures should be
made by allowing for High School pu-
pills who are attending business col.
leges, academies. normal schools and
other private schools. but the neces'
