The total uuinber of childreu enrolled in schools, in 1890, was 14,219,571. The total number of ehildren of school age, which is arbitrarily assumed at from flve to seventeen years, inclusive, was 18,543,200, or nearly 30 per cent. of the population. The school enrollment was 75 per cent. of the ehildren of school age. The attendance at school was about two-thirds of the enrollment. Therefore it appears that about one-half of the total number of ehildren of school age attended school. Of the total number of children enrolled in all schools, 12,728,417, or about niue-tenths of the whole, vere enrolled in the public schools ; 753,972 were enrolled iu private schools, aud 737,182 in parochial schools. - From "The BuildofaNatiou," by Henry Gannett, Xew York : The Henry T.
