In addition figures are given to show the relative standing of the school systems of the states and pos sessions in 1890 1900, 1910, 1916 and 1918. These indicate that California has alweys been at or near the top of the list while the two Carolinas have in every case been at or near the bot tom. Every New England state is shown by the figures to be losing ground while every state in the Far West has gained in relative rank dur ing the period. In the educational race Iowa has far outstripped Illinois while North Dakota has gone rapidly forward. Nebraska is reported to have gone forward and Kansas backward during the period of 28 years.
 The most notable educational change that has taken place during the 50 years covered by the report, is in the attendance in the high schools. There are now 100 times as many pupils enrolled in high schools as there were in 1870 The number then was 19,O0O and now it is nearly 100000. The high school attend ance has increased with great rapidity but the new pupils have been mostly girls.
 In the matter of teachers salaries, the states show most diversified prac- tices The lowest average salary is $25 per month for the state of North Carolina, while the highest is $88 in California, both being based on year of 12 months.

MONTANA LEADS OTHER STATES WITH BEST SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS
 CALIFORNIA IN SECOND PLACE

NEW YORK, June 1O (by ASSOC1at- 1 ed Press) The state of Montana has the best all round school system in the United States according to the Tesults of a comparative study of state school systems made public by the Russell Sage Foundation The report assigns second place to the schools of California, third place to those of Arizona, fourth to New Jersey and fifth to the state of Washington.
 These findings are contained in a report by the Department of Educa' tion of the Foundation. The volume is entitled "An Index Number for State School Systems" and the author is Dr. Leonard P. Ayres, Director of the foundations department of educa~ tion.
 Other findings of the report are that the school system of the United States as whole has doubled in ef- ficiency during the last fifty years, l having an index number or rating Of |2 in 1870 and one of 52 at the present time. Since these index numbers are figured on the basis of 100, the school system of the country has now an effectiveness or efficiency of only 52 per cent, according to the report.
 The figures for the individual states as given by the foundation show that 1 during the past 30 years the West has been coming up educatiOnal1y while the East has been going down. During this time the greatest increase among all the states has been made l by Utah while the state to which is attributed the greatest falling off has gained instead of losing is New Jer- sey. In the West the state that has the best and most consistently high record is California.
 Among the interesting results of the study is the conclusion that the school systems of the Unrted States terri torial possessions, such as Hawaii, the Canal Zone, and Porto Rico, have higher ratings than those of many of the AS states That of Hawaii is re- ported better than those of the major ity of the American states. Ten Southern states have records poorer than that of Porto Rico.
 The foundations educational mea- surement is worked out by taking the official data showing the number of fchildren attending school, the amount of training they secure, the progress they make, the amounts expended for buildings and supplies, the salaries paid their teachers, and other similar items, and combining these factors into a single index number which shows the general standing or eff ciency of the school system. This method resembles that used by the Federal government in indexing the cost of living and prices for commodi- ties.
 The foundation states that all the re- suits are computed from data furnish ed by the states themselves to the Federal government and that the records have been compiled and com bined by exactly the same methods for all the different states and with out admitting into the results any elements of personal judgement. The author of the report served during the war as chief statistical officer of the army.
 The standing of the AS states, the istrict of Columbia and the three ter ritorial possessions is shown in the following table:

HEALTHY RELIC
OF A PAST ERA
Billy Bruner Still Finds
Much Good in
Present.
by MRS. ]. II. McwrLLIAMs.

An Indian with life behind
him that would do Justice TO any
picturesque, blood -curdllng wild
western novel of 25 years ago Is a
parsonage that we 10 not recognize
as we meet Billy Bruner on Tulsa
streets. or as he ambles home from
very happy day In some location
that can not be located by many Of
those who envy him, but can In no
wise follow his steps as he HES
himself to his daily rendezvous. For
Billy is not a supporter Of national
prohibition and he demonstrates ms
stand on this question every night
as he advances upon his home at
Rruncr Station, where two other In
dams. both Creeks like himself. and
like himself widowors, hold forth
In a man-inhabited, man managed
household with rugs and no cur
tains. and tables and no buffets.
Billy offers to the passerby the
countanCo Of n healthy. robust,
good -naturcd Indian Of perhaps 80
summers And he deserves all Of
these descriptions but the last Billy
Is 60 years old. and has seen many
favorable and some unfavorablo
changes In his life In this land that
has been filled with great transfor-
mations within tho past two de-
cades. and he comes forth from a
youth spent on a large unfenced
ranch where many head of his
fathers cattle and hogs ioamed. and

this and through many bloody
battles where bullets and wild
horses helped In eliminating un-
necessary human life. Billy Bruner
OF the present day comes to us as an
English-spcaking, polite, quiet, and
rather attractive bronco image OF
