Enrolment In High
 Schools Increasing
29O%o Gain in Catholic Institutions Reported During
 Past 25 Years-VOcatiOnal Training Stressed

Washintgon, Aug. 24.-One out standing reason why high school attendance in this country has in- creased from six per cent of Amer ican youth under eighteen in 1890, to an average of more than 65 per cent at present, is parental convic- tion that additional schooling leads to a better economic and social sta- tus in later life.
 Rev. Dr. George Johnson, head of the Department of Education at the Catholic University of America, further observed that some people argue that too many young persons attend the secondary schools. They have no place else to go, he said, in view of the increasing difficulty for youth under twenty to get jobs. So far as youth is concerned, he predicted, this unemployment prob lem will continue, and it produces society's obligation to continue to provide and extend secondary edu- cation.
 Secondary Education
 Those seeking secondary education were divided by Dr. Johnson into three general groups. One of these, probably 12 per cent of the whole, includes those who have the mental endowment necessary to profit by academic education. Another 20 per cent is possessed of the mental abil- ity, but is interested in future busi- ness and industrial activity rather than higher learning. The third group includes those who will find jobs in clerical, distributive, machine work and other fields which require little if any formal education.
 During the depression, Dr. John- son said, there have been developed several approaches to thee duca- tional problem as affecting the third group. These have been pursued through the Civilian Conservation Corps and through the work pro- jects and resident campus of the National Youth Administration. What we have in both instances" |" said Dr. Johnson, "is an attempt to combine work and study so as to enable youth to see the value of both"
 Though high school enrolment has increased tremendously-and in the Catholic high school the in- crease has been 290 per cent in the last 25 years, from 75,000 to 30O,-

 Last year, the lengthy duration of the conspiracy trial, wrecked havoc on dockets of regular cases. Superior court was hel din the common pleas court room, after weeks of inactiv- ity, and common pleas court was held in city hall. This arrangement may not be necessary this year.
 The grand jury has cleared its ef- feet from the top floor courtroom, and this room undoubtedly will be available for trials.

Whatever the figure, it is cer-

or total of slightly more than
1000. Every year the record for the

at which to shoot when they try to
