the total number of students In the H.
900 high schools of all kinds increased To
a million and half, OF the 1904 pub
lie high schools reported, s,440 had full
four. year courses. Approximately % per
cent of all public high school students
are In four'year high schools.
The report analyses the number OF
teachers IN the United States, showing
that of the 100000 teachers, 100000
were men and $50 900 women, The num-
Der OF men teachers has increased very
slightly since 1900; the number of wom'
en- teachers has almost doubled. In pub
lie elementary schools the number of
men teachers has decreased 20 per cent
since 1900, while the number OF women
teachers has increased per cent. In
1900 teaching positions in public high
schools were evenly divided between men
and women. Az the present time women
outnumber the men by 5000. The aver
age annual salary of all teachers is S525.
The figure is highest in the east and
north Atlantic states, with S69o and
5000, respectively, and lowest in the
south Atlantic states, 1929. II varies
from 1894 in Mississippi to Ss7l in Cali
fornia and S04l in New York.
Cost of Education.
Expenditures for education in IDA
partly estimated, totaled close TO $500
100000. An estimate, making due al
lowances for the intervening two years
and for items necessarily omitted, would
easily bring the nations current eduea :
tional expenditure to billion dollars.
Public elementary schools cost in 1913
approximately S50o,000,000; public high
schools, S70,0O0,0O0; private elementary
schools, S52.000,000 ;private secondary
schools, $l5,000,000; universities, col
leges and professional schools, Sl00,OO0,-
900; normal schools, Sl5,000,000.
OF the S555,O77,l46 actually reported
for public schools in 1914, S30S.5l ,l0i

4g2 292: and New Jersey, S23,2S4 ,O96.
Six states, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Delaware, Wyoming. New Mexico and
Nevada, expended less than S2,WO,OOo.
On per capita basis Utah ranked high

of Sl0.07; Idaho expended 5000 per cap
tia OF population; North Dakota, S9'62;
Montana. $3.50; Arizona, ss,03; and
Washington, $3.50; while Mississippi
spent Sl.4s, South Carolina Sl.S3, Ala

which S26,6700l7 was for universities
and colleges, Sl,55s PSI for theological
schools, and 81 ,495773 for law schools.

signed from the cabinet of President Will

and had minced and faltered.

To clean painted walls and ceilings

\ hundred thousand dollar hog ranch.
 To raise pork for the market on the most extensive and luxurious scale ever conceived here. is the purpose of
 a lately organized company, of which the Reed brothers are the local mem bers. The well-knoWn Reed Evans tract of $40 acres in Section 10, has been secured, and Col. P J. Durbin manager of the company, learned yes terday that the first shipment of
 1900 brood sows was on it's way from California. This will be the largest shipment of brood stock ever imported into the valley and defines somewhat the scale upon which things are being done by the company.
 Col. Durbin, an experienced stock raiser, with extensive connections in ! severa! livestock raising states is on
 the ground and is preparing to put in the plant. Among the features of the ranch will be a water system, capable of supplying half of Phoenix New
 ideas in sanitation and watering will
 he incorporated, together with the probably unique stunt of providing
 shower baths for the swine. The formation of this company is
 thought to presage unparalleled ac-
 tivity looking toward a possible pack
 ing house. Taken in connection with 2 the recent organization of the hog
 raisers of the valley. and later of the
 cattle feeders, it means that new
 interest will be added to the work, and
 that in all probability development will
 be so rapid as to make essential a
 large packing plant within the next
 few years.
 The corporation, which has filed its
 papers with the state corporation com

that was that the bond issue was not

clamor against Wall Street and the

overlooked the fact that Congress had
appropriated over S30,000,0 900 under
