PLAN NEW LAWS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
STATE SUPERINTENDENT CLAIR
SEEKS LEGISLATION TO Pc
PLACE STATUTES NUuiFiEo BY
SUPREME COURT.

Springfield. H., Feb. Sin COnnec-
ton with the plans of the state edu-
cational interests to secure the enact
ment of a new high school act to take
the place of the 1911 act annulled by
the supreme court Francis G. Blair.
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton. today announced statistics show
ing the remarkable growth of the high
schools in Illinois.
II is difficult for many people at
the present time TO understand or to
believe" superintendent Blair said.
that the increase in attendance
among the high schools OF Illinois
was sixtee ntimes greater than the in
crease in the elementary schools dur,
ing the past year No less startling
is the increase in the number of high
schools and their physical and educa-
tional equipment"
There are 210 two year high schools,
ninety-one three years high schools
and $40 four year high schools or a
total of S27 in all, with a total en-
rollment Of 102,S70. Four thousand
six hundred and ninety three teach
ers are required in these high schools
of whom 2,060 are men and 1888 are
women.
Total expenditures for high school
purposes amounted to 10S52,247 dol
lars during 1916 This made the per
capita cost per student on current
expenses s659q, The average salary
paid teachers was s1.11s.S5. The to
tai amount invested in high school
property is s2G,a31,5S3. of which
$2s,340,40S is vested in buildings and
sites and s2,S9l,l75 in equipment.
High school teachers in Illinois are
OF high standing. educationally. or
the total number Of teachers AIS are
graduates Of both college and state
normal schools. 2,622, have a college
education, 537 are graduate OF state
normal schools, GAO attended college
but did not graduate, 22l attended
state normal school but did not grad
uate. whi9 only ZIG have only high
school education.
The annnlment Of the high school
tuition act by the supreme court may
have a serious effect on the attend
ance. In 1915 and 1915, when this act
was in effect there were 1885 tut.
ton pupils in the high schools of the
state. Under the terms OF the act
the expenses Of these pupils were paid
our OF the state distributive fund. Now
since the act has been anndlled,
these expenses must be met by the
school district from which the pupil
comes, and many districts cannot at
ford to pay the amount.
A new tuition act is being drafted
bat 1t is feared 1t will not relieve this
condition.

LONDON. Feb. lord Northcliffe.
owner of the Times. the Daily MdN and
other publications. to-day made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated Press
concerning the severing Of relations with
Germany:
TT il generally felt here that when
the history of this great world revolu-
ton Is written future generations will
realize that the United States has eX-
hibited patience and forbearance to a
point beyond which national honor and
dignity could not go. 1t is hoped by a
majority of the English people that
America will not be drawn into the
war. The Entente Allies have Prussia
well in hand, and it's sympathy. moral
support and assistance with finance,
munitions and food will be rendering
our crusade an immense service.
"If military intervention becomes nee
essary / do not doubt that the Ameri-
can soldiers Will be as brave and as
efficient as the American contingent now
in the trenches in France, with whom
lately spent an interesting day. Our
navy has great faith in yours.
''The Prussian policy is not supported
by the other German States, some OF
which | know are protesting against a
continuance of the horrors OF the en-
slavement OF women in France and Bel
