The substantial increase i.n the per centage of students who successfully complete each year's work seems to indicate that our schools are meeting this difficulty very satisfactory. Seventeen and six tenths per cent of our entire school population is now attend~ng high school which is almost double the percentage for the United States as a whole. It will be seen from the table above that the average nuJnber of days of attndance per year both in the elementary and high schools has Inade a decided iinproveine.nt, due langely to the constant checking upon attendance and the efficient work of our attendance officers. This one condition alone would be sufficient to accou.n t for much of the increased efficiency of the schools todav as compared with ten years ago. The last itein inetao ten years ago. 86.4 per cent of the total school population of the district, not Inerely of the enrollment, is in daily attendance at school-practically o;ne th,ird greater per centage than we had ten years ago. This indicatef; that we are approaching the ideal of educating "all the children of all the people" giving each in equal opportunity with all others in the district.

Districts like, Jordan, whose assessed valuation per capita is ten tiines as great as some of the outlying districts, will u,ndoubtedly have to sJlare their revenues from net proceeds of Inines with the poorer districts. • We do not know how our available revenues may be effected by revision of our laws. The Board, has, therefore, adopted a wise policy in projecting at this tiJne a building program which will take care of our building needs for Inany years to coine. If at the same tiine we could pay off our bonded indebtedness while abundant funds are available, Jordan District would indeed be most fortunately situated. School Population, Enrollment And Attendance The school census taken last October shows an increase of 172 over the previous year. The total for the year 1925-26 was 5434, while the last census shows a total school populatio.n of 5606. It will be noted that while the school population has increased only 11.8 per cent in ten years, the total enrollinent has increased 27.6 per cent That ten years ago only 85.7 per cent of the school population was e.nrolled in school, whereas 98 per cent was enrolled this year, and that although 98 per cent were enrolled this year, the percentage of proJnotions was increas ed 11 per cent, the total proJnotions was increased 50 per cent, showing far greater efficie.ncy now than ten years ago. The JI!.OSt striking development in Ainerican education during the past decade is reflected in the contrast of high school attendance ten years ago and now. Then our total enrollJne.nt was 324, now it is 988, or more than three tiines as 'g reat. Then the group attending high school was in a sense a select group, consisting largely of those who had been emine;ntly successful in the grade schools and who had a liking for school work. Now that 98 per cent are enrolled the group is in no sense selective and the schools face the problein of doing the saJne standard of work with the masses as RIVERTON e est head-piece it best understands~..President Coolidge don' his new 1 en-Gallol'~ hat for camp wearing Mr. and Mrs. Leo Lloyd and children, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Barrett and children and Mr. a:nd Mrs. Gordon Densley and daughte:t. spent four days up the Weber and Provo canyons.
