WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. U.H -
The office of education of the de-
partment of the interior has been
putting down and adding up figures
one OF the functions of nuner-
ous government departments-ab
schools. 1t has found that in 1881
there was spent in the United
States S3,200,000,000 for education.
A total of 29,365 ,6Os persons were
enrolled during the year in the
nations schools, public and private
which means that there was an
expenditure of a little over $100
Tor each pupil. It required 1922
600 teachers to instruct all these
pupils or approximately one teach
er for each 30 pupils.
The statistics preoict that first
grade enrollments are going to de-
crease in the next 10 years for tht
very solid reason that there arc
fewer children right now than there
we're 10 years ago. The government
figures that there were l29840 less
children under five years of age IL
the United States in 1890, for in.
stance, than in 1920.
Another government department
has figured that the country S
farms are mortgaged for a total OF
SO ,24l 100000, which is three times
the bill for education. That figure
Is "a per cent less than in 1925
but about billion and half more
than in 1920.
OF the total mortgages on farms
one ninth is on farms in Iowa
81 ,O98,6l0,000. California has $548,-
42l 900 in mortgages ON its farms
Rhode Island, the smallest state
has the smallest amount of mort
cages, s3,854,0O0, with Nevada next
with Sl4,737,000 Texas the larg-
est state In area, carries s543, ,e5l 900
on Its farms.
