pills or 5.4 per cent as compared with figures for the preceding year. More startling yet is the fact that in the past decade elementary schools enrolment has dropped from 14,36l to 10,1l2, loss of 4,249 or 29.6 per cent"
 Though no reason could be given for the amazing discrepancy be- tween the grammar school losses and the high school gains, the re- port suggests that falling birth rate is responsible.
 Formerly" states the report, "the first grade always showed the great est registration, gradual redudc- ton following in each succeeding grade up to the eight grade, which represented the class smallest in number of pupils registered. Today conditions are reversed; the first grade is the smallest, the eight the largest"
 By percentage, the enrolment in grade schools for the past year are as follows: Kindergarten, 8.8; Grade 1, 10.4; Grade 2, 11.3; Grade 3, 11.4; Grade 4, 11.5; Grade 5, 11.7; Grade 6, 1O.6; Grade 2, 11.3; and Grade g., 12.9.
 Results in the secondary schools" |" continued Dr. Condon, are entirely different. With an- all-time high of 5,059, the past year shows an in- crease of 1,422 of 39 per cent in enrolment when compared with 1930-3l. More vividly, a study of growth at Leavenworth reveals the national trend toward vocational ed- ucation."

PRENATAL DAYS PERIOD OF NEGLECT
Special Diet Often Needed By Prospective Mother;
 Suggestions Made

The Children's Bureau has said that the nine months before a child is born constitutes the most ne- glected period of his existence. The prospective mother who has had through childhood, through ado lescence and through young adult hood a well-balanced diet, has on hand at the time of pregnancy @ store of health which enables her to go through pregnancy with few changes in the normal diet. For those women who have not been so conscientious about following a normal diet previous to pregnancy, a shift to normal diet Is indeed indicated. The diet for the preg- nant woman varies little from the normal diet. The daily pint of milk which is considered protective for the adult should be increased to one quart, thus providing building ma terial for strong bones and teeth for the baby so that he will not rob the mothers supply. Eggs may well be increased to include one each day to provide more growth protein and to increase the iron content of the diet. A more generous supply of fruits and vegetables will pro- vide additional minerals and vita- mins and serve as same laxatives. It Is advisable to eat these foods every day unless your doctor ad- vises you differently because of some special condition.
 ONE QUART OF MILK: Drink at least 3 cups; take the rest in soups, buildings and other milk dishes. Use cheese often.
 TWO FRUITS: One serving should be either orange, grapefruit or tomato or the juices from these fruits. The other serving may be either Q raw or cooked fruit. Use apples. bananas, apricots, prunes, raisins, figs or other fruits in sea- son.
 TWO VEGETABLES BESIDES POTATO: One serving should be raw; the other may be either cooked or raw. Use carrots, lettuce, cab bage. celery, spinach. turnips, beets,
