HIGH SCHOOLSIN
INDIANA REPORT
ENROLMENT GAIN
Increase of $3.50 Per Cent
Registered in Past
Five Years.

- IGH school attendance in In
Hi diana has increased $3.50 per
4 cent during the past five
years, according to State depart
ment Of public instruction. Average
daily attendance of elementary chill
dren has increased 14.91 per cent.
Report shows an increase Of 6-o1
per cent in enumeration as compared
to 1928 per cent gain In enrolment
In 1920 the enumeration was 772.S54.
and the enrolment. $50. $50. In 1924
the enumeration was SI9,S27 and the
enrolment. 614.212. showing an in
crease Of 46.S27 in enumeration and
153.373 in enrolment.
High Daily Attendance
In 1920 there was an average
daily attendance of 3SS.72S in the

high schools. Five years later. the
daily elementary attendance was
446.6s5. a gain of 1882 and the
average daily attendance for high
school was 106,65s. an increase Of
3S.26s.
According 70 officials Of the State
department. the increase in the
school enrolment during the past
five years IS the greatest in the
history Of the State. and this is
attributed quite largely TO the en-
forcement Of the compulsory school
attendance law. The increase in
enumeration has come about through
a greater zeal on the part Of emu
merators in searching out the chill
dren Of the various districts.
Teacher Increase Low
While the enumeration shows an
increase and the schools show this
nigh increase in enrolment. this
mas been accompanied by a compare
lively insignificant increase OF teach
ers. There has been an increase of
only 1872 teachers or an average
Of 1914 pupils per teacher.
y large per cent Of the grade grad
yates are now completing their
high school course, statistics show.

50 EASY TO GET
RID OF HEADACHES
"Fruit-a-tiVeS" SmootheS Away The Pain

Headaches are always the result OF
poisoned blood. If food is not
properly digested; if the bowels are
not regular; or if the kidneys are
weak and irritated; then impurities
are taken up by the blood and carried
to the nerves of the head causing
dreadful headaches.
The Fruit Treatment is the most
effective means of keeping the blood
pure. "Fruit-a-tives'' the wonderful
combination of the juices of apples,
oranges, figs and prunes-intensitied
and combined with tonics-are a
complete fruit treatment for
Headaches, whether the headaches
are due to Neuralgia, Nervousness,
Biliousness, Indigestion, Constipa-
tion or Irritated Kidneys.
Just try the Fruit Treatment for
your Headaches, in the form of
"Fruit- -tives". Your druggist has
