WAR INFLUENCE
No doubt the relatively small increase in attendance of
1916 over 1915 and 1918 1916 in both enrolment
and attendance below normal because thousands of

PROHIBITION EFFECT EVIDENT
This increase of 1922 1920 can be accounted for
i'll other way than by the fact that January H. 1920
sutonal prohibition became operative closing 507 ds
eres 247 breweries and III 100 saloons. Tens of thou
sands of boys and girls who under the old saloon regime
compelled contribute their mite to the support OF
the family because large part OF father pay check

public schools Tens of thousands of boys and girls who
had the saloon continued to exist, would have been
PEELED to leave school on attaining working age
der prohibition continued their studies
Tens of thousands of boys and girls who would have
found impossible to continue because of lack of suitable
clothes and the little money Incidental expenses
continued their school life because their homes had
been transformed under prohibition The effects of this
srkng shown in the larger increase in average
attendance Thousands of boys and girls in the old saloon
days who enrolled with high hopes at the beginning of the
school term compelled to leave because of
home impoverished by drink.
HIGH SCHOOLS MOST AFFECTED
1t is of special significance that the greatest percentage
in enrolment and attendance in these prohibition
years is registered in the high schools Here enrolment
has grown from 100000 in 1920 to 100000 in 1890 1t
is the boys and girls of high school age-the working age
who hit hardest by home budget which was being
raided daily by the brewer, dstier and saloonkeeper
