TABLE 5. --Private school enrollment, mainly for 1888-89, ctc.--Continued. Private schools. --Statistics of private schools continue of the same meager and unsatisfactory character as heretofore. The following results are deduced from the data reported to the Bureau: Sixteen States and Territories show an increase of private-school enrollment of 7.10 per cent., the public-school enrollment of the same increased 1.41 per cent., the whole enrollment, public and private, increasing 2.07 per cent. These results tend in the same direction as those of preceding years, and give additional confirmation to the statement heretofore made that the private schools are growing at a greater rate than the public. Individual States, such as Vermont, Rhode Island, Illinois, Colorado, Washington, and California, show an opposite tendency the present year, tlie public enrollment in those States growing faster than the private. The statistics of privato schools are of such varying degrees of' accuracy from year to year, however, that conclusions derived from isolated data are open to suspicion, especially if they indicate any retrogression in the Northern States, which should rather be attributed to incomplete returns. Out of every 1,000 pupils in schools of all kinds, in 21 States and Territories, 97 were private-school pupils, a little less than 1 in 10. The report last year, embracing nearly a the same States, was 94 per 1,000. The estimate for the whole of the United States is 84 per 1,000, as shown in Column 8, TABLE 6.-Number of schoolhouses, mainly for 1888-89, compared with same for the pre ceding year, with the territorial area, with the total population, and with the population 6 to 14. ....................................... ..... 75 43 ....................................... 10 12 2, 159 90 6, 205 4,687 c5, 660 ................................... 445 94 I.. 4,729 I.
