Mure than one fifth of the Na
tion’s total population will be en
rolled in public and private
schools and colleges throughout
the United States during the
1951-52 academic year, according
to the annual enrollment esti
mates recently prepared by the
Office ol Education.
The Office of Education's ad
vance estimates point to the high
est enrollment ever recorded —
33.121.000, which surpasses even
.the
v v: iuiVAif 1 tcil*y
school level. East year’s elemen
tary school enrollment was 23,
668.000.
Secondary school enrollments
will rise slightly over those of
1950-51. The number of pupds
in all types of high schools during
the past year stood at 6,142,000.
This year’s figure is estimated at
6,108,000
According to the Office of Ldu
cation estimates there will be a
drop in college and university en
rollments There were 2,500.000
students in higher education in
stitutions during 1950-51. It is
expected that this number will
probably drop to 2,2,225,000 dur
ing 1951-52 The decrease will re
sult from the diminishing num
ber of veterans and also from the
drafting of a substantial number
of college-age men. It should be
noted, however, that during 1951
52 many reservists and draftees
returning to civilian life may be
expected to enroll for higher edu
cation. Furthermore, if legisla

Britisher Writes
Essay on the Cow
—» —
A ten year old British boy
wrote the following essay on Old
Bossie. This new approach to an
old phenomenon was first printed
in the Washington Daily News.
"The beast I am going to choose
is the cow. The cow is a mannal.
At the back it has a tail on which
hangs a brush. With this it sends
the flies away so that they do not
[fall in the milk.
"The head is for the purpose of
I growing horns and so that the
I mouth can be somewhere The
! horns are to butt with and Ihe
mouth is too moo with.
"Under the cow hangs the milk.
It is arranged for milking. W'hen
people milk the milk comes. How
the cow does it. I have not yet
realized, but it makes more and
more.”

Non-Voting Rated
National Scandal
“It is a national scandal that
so few voters have seen fit to par
ticipate in our national elections”,
Chancellor Albert C. Jacobs said
at summer commencement exer
cises of the University of Denver.
"It is a shameful fact that non
voting is increasing; that as the
number of potential voters rises
the percentage of participation in
elections declines.” '
And this is happening Chance
llor Jacobs points out, at a time
“when alert, responsible and ef
fective leadership is so desperate
ly needed—the best our country
can provide”.
“Constructive improvement of
government has never been more
imperative", he continued.
America is now exporting coal
overseas at the rate of nearly
three million tons per month.
