C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 192 | BUREAU REPORTS Survey of School Children In- dicates 1930 May Not See Increase Over 1920. Calling attention to the “steadily and rapidly decreasing birth rate in the | United States,” the Bureau of Educa- tion of the Department of the Interior | announced in connection with the com- | pletion of a Nation-wide survey of the school situation that the 1930 census ! may show little, if an, increase in the number of children ready to enter school over the number shown in the 1920 census. “If these same conditions exist for a number of years, school enroliments will reach a stationary period, especially in the lower grades,” the bureau assert- {ed in a statement yesterday. g | “The reduction in the birth rate is | a fact that should not be overlookeq,” |the bureau said. “This rate has dropped from 25.1 per 1,000 population | in 1915 in the registration area to 20.6 |in 1926, ‘This area included 31 per cent of the whole population in 1915 | and 76 per cent in 1925. Infant mor- tality rates have dropped off materially during this 10-year period. This rate ! was approximately 102 per 1,000 live births in 1915 and 71.7 in 1925. Mortality Is Higher. “Applying the birth rate and the in- fant mortality rate for each year, this means that 225 children per 1,000 of the population reached the age of one | year in 1916 and less than 20 per 1,000 in 1926, Applying the same rates to the estimated population for each year indicates that 2,239,000 children reach- ed their first birth anniversary in 1916 and 2,292,000 reached it in 1926. This is an increase of a little over 50,000 in 10 years. “Any material decrease in the birth rate must in time have its influence upon the number of children who are |old enough to enter school for the | first time each year. Restricted immi- gration further reduces the number of, say, 6-year-old children. It is quite evident that the number of 6-year-old children is not increasing very rapidly from year to year,” the bureau observes. “A “stupendous growth and prosper- ity” was noted by the bureau in the American public_schools. The latest figures on this subject, the bureau said, show that of elementary school pupils about 92 per cent are now in public schools, while 89 per cent were in such institutions a generation ago, and that 60 per cent of the pupils attended pub- lic secondary schools in 1890, while in 1926 this figure had jumped to 91 'per cent. In 1890, the bureau observes, 77 per cent of normal school pupils went to public schools, but the 1926 figure showed an increase to 93 per cent. ‘Where 13 per cent of colored students attended institutions supported by the public in 1890, 36 per cent now attend such irstitutions, the bureau points out in observing that “the percentage of pupils in public schools in the United States, as compared to private schools, is steadily increasing through the years.” The bureau found that there is a rapidly increasing per capita expendi- ture per pupil in the public elementary schools, advancing from the 1920 figure of $40 to $63 in 1926. CHANEY ASKS DBIVORCE. Louise B.:Chaney, 927 New York ave- | nue, yesterday was made defendant in a suit filed in Equity Court, by which her husband, Charles C. Chaney, 649 F street northeast, manager of a branch grocery store, seeks a decree for an absolute divorce. The husband charges misconduct and names a co-respondent, through his attorneys, Newmyer & King and Jacobsen. The husband tells the court that his 1921, for a limited divorce, which was dismissed, and that subsequently, on May 10, 1927, she filed another suit for limited divorce, which is still pending, and he is paying her alimony. ‘The court is told the couple were married in this city May 29, 1906, and there is one child, a daughter, who now | is married, and asserts that the mother had the child arrested prior to her mar- riage and had her convicted in the local Juvenile Court on a charge of in- corrigibility. He says that Mrs. Chaney is employed at a tire shop. — Eight-Hour Day Adopted.

BIRTH RATE DROPS, | Will Rogers NEW YORK.—As I write it's pretty near farm relief time. About 8 o'clock every night they get relief over the radio. Smith marketed their surpluses at a profit for 'em.

OF ADHERENCE TO PACT Oriental Nation Is Thirty-Third to Express Intention—Eight Still to Be Heard From. By the Assoclated Press. Siam has notified® the Washington Government of its intention to adhere to the treaty for the renunciation of war. Siam is the thirty-third of 49 nations to signify its intention to adhere to the compact, which was originally signed by representatives of 15 countries. Four other nations have announced that they have adhered, although' their official notifications have not been received by the State Department, and in addition four more nations have made known their unofficial intentions to adhere. This leaves eight nations to disclose their attitude toward the treaty. iy HELD FOR LARCENY.
