American Education.
Out of a total population of 91,972,266 in the United States there were, in 1910, 17,506,175 pupils enrolled.

Few nations can show such a high percentage of school students.

The total number of teachers was 506,040.

Educational efficiency on such a scale can be maintained only by a large expenditure of money, and from the statistics of education I find that the sum received from tuition fees was $14,687,192 gold, from productive funds $11,592,113 gold, and from the United States Government $4,607,298 gold, making a total of $70,667,865 gold.[1] I question whether any other nation can produce such an excellent example in the cause of education.
In every state there are very many schools, both public and private.
There are public schools in every town, and even the smallest village has its school, while in some agricultural states, such as Wyoming, where the population is very scattered, teachers are provided by the government to teach in the farmers' homes wherever three or four children can be gathered together.
