FEWER PUPILS REPORTED
IN SCHOOLS OF PRUSSIA
Recent Statistics Show 4,136,665
Attending, as Against 5,461,5o4
in Year 1921.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERL1N.-There has been marked
decline in the number of children at
tending the public schools of Prussia.
While in 1921, when a school census
was last taken, the number of pupils
was o.461,594. figures recently pub
lished by the Prussian ministry of
education show that there are only
4,136,665 in attendance now.
This decline of more than "a per
cent is explained as being due to the
great retrogression in the birth rate
during and Immediately following the
war.
Fortunately the number Of teachers
has declined by only 6.34 per cent.
This means that the classes have be-
come somewhat smaller. and conse-
quently more attention can be given
to each pupil. While in 1921 each
teacher had on an average AZ pupils
to look after, he Is now responsible
for only IS.
