The extent to which the public has strained to meet the changiiiet I eeds of society may be witnessed from such facts as the following said Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction, today.
In 1890, only 14 per cent of eligibl; children attended school. In 1933. this percentage had increased to seventy-three per cent. From 1899 t.i 1935. the population of Amerl.M ii-rreased from 63,000.000 to 128,000 • 000—an incre.ise of a little more than IOO per cent; but the enrolme.it lr> our .secondary .schools grew from ySO.OOO to more than 6.000.000 whli )i represents an Increase ot 855 p?r cent. Ag.iln. In 1890. j»ome nine field; of learning were represented in tl c public school.^; In 1933. more th.i.. 250 dLstlnct courts were available to Ute pupils

¦'Did you know that the greates: single bargain—the moat oulstandin.i value in America today is a new iionie?"
