of tbe census ot atatietlrs relating to
teachers. Calculating lb school airs
aa from 5 to 21, tha report finds that
taking tba country at "whole, there
ia an average ol one teacher to every
71 poplla, or 110 for every 10,000. The
computation shows that the aupply ol
teachara in proportion to school popu
lation baa more than doubled in tbe
laat SO yeara, and that tearbere ex
ereded tbe total number of clergymen,
lawyer and pbyaiclans.
In 1900, Nevada bad the largest pro
portlonal number of teachers!

and Iowa fourth Tbe proportion of
teachers wai smallest io aome of the
aontbern states. Daring tbe peat
