Fewer Students
Spurn High School

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-If the boy cr
girl who formerly quit school, at
the end of the seventh or eighth
grade is not actually becoming ex-
tinct his ranks are being decimated
annually according to reports COW
ering an average ten year period
compiled from the offices of public
instruction in ten central sta IS.
The percentage of, increased high
school attendance for the period was
taken as the medium for estimate.
The average increase figure for the
decade was found to be 95.4 percent,
with extremes ranging between 1000
percent, the figure reported by Okla
homa, to 40 percent, that of Iowa.
While the figures do not unquali-
fiedIy represent the increased pro-
portion of grade school students en-
tering high schools-the factor of
increasing population applying
largely in newer states-they do in
dicate that the former gulf existing
between the eighth grade and high
school gradually is being eliminated.
In Oklahoma, according to state
ment issued by Luther Russell. state
high school inspector, the increase
in II years from 1910 to 1921 was
from 6,125 to 62,021, or 1000 per-
cent. Figures supplied by the de-
partment of education of Kentucky
set the increase from 1885 in 1913.
to $4,000 in 1928 an advance of
203 per cent, while in South Dakota
the total number of high school stu
dents in 1922, 1858, represented
jump of 162 percent from the 1900
enrolled in 1912.
Vernon M. Reigel, state director of
education for Ohio. gave the in
crease in that state as 120 percent,
an advance from $4,000, the figure
for 1921, to 17S,705, that for 1922.
Voicing the belief that the show
ing in his state was particularly good
in view of the strong call of the
many industries of the state for
boys to get out of school into work,
Thomas e. Johnson, superintendent
of public instruction of Michigan,
reported the increase there at from
40, ,466 in 1912. to 106,496 in 1922, an
increase of lis percent.
High school attendance in Kansas
has increased Sc percent during the
last ten years, according to }. w.
Miley, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, who placed the figure
for total attendance in 1913 at 3D.
032 compared with 72,774 in 1922.
A jump of 70 percent in high
school attendance from 1913 to 1928
was reported by Leonard B. Job, as
sistant state superintendent of pub
lie instruction of Indiana. The exact
increase was given as from 59,S22
in 1913 to an estimated total of 101,-
425 in the latter year. Compulsory
attendance up to the age of 16 years,
was given principal credit for the
good showing.
The percent of increase during the
last decade for Illinois was set at
AZ by Francis G. Blair, state super
intendent of public instruction. To-
tai high school enrolment in 1912
was IA, 56S and in 1922, 16S,097.

BIames Taxation
For High Cartare

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 10.-(By
The Associated Press) )-Municipal,
state and federal officials were Wig
orously assailed for their extrava-
gance in special tax report made
today to the American Electric Rail-
way Convention here. William H.
Maltbie, of Baltimore, is chairman of
the committee making it.
The report declared that owing to
governmental extravaganza, in part,
every workingman in the United
States is paying an average tax of
81 a year which is hidden in his car
fare. This is about two-thirds of a
cent out of every fare.
"One of the most serious problems
of the day is that of municipal, state
and federal extravaganza, the re.
port said. The check upon public ex-
travagance is to be found only in a
demand on the part of the public for
economy, and one of the first and
most important steps in the devel-
opment of this public demand is the
elimination of indirect taxation. APP
proximately 10 per cent. of the gross
receipts of the street car companies
of the United States is devoted to
some form of public burden. The
average fare at the present time is
692 cents so an average of nearly
two-thirds of a cent out of every
street car fare collected in the Unit
ed States is an indirect tax upon the
street car users for the benefit or
the general public.
1.-THE average workman riding 10
and from his work 800 days in the
year pays in this one item an indi-
rect tax of approximately 81.
"If this indirect tax and other
numerous indirect taxes which he
paws could be bundled together with
the relatively small direct tax which
he is called upon to meet. labelled
and known to him as a tax, we
would find a pressure for public
economy making itself evident at
the polls in unmistakable fashion.
Among the "obsolete" taxes point
ed out -bv the committee is one for
paving between car tracks which
had its inception in horse car days
when the animals hoofs DESTROYED
cedar block pavements between the
rails.
Car riders do not realize the report
declared. that state and federal hn"
les which fix the car fares OF tne
country, figure all of these taxes in
when arriving at fair fare.
