At present these are divided into four groups. A new grouping is contemplated by the bureau, and a more adequate classification of institutions will be made. Tables 2, 3, 14, and 15 give the statistics of 55 public manual-training high schools. This group should include only schools which do not primarily prepare students for some trade or vocation. Tables 4, 5, 16, and 17 present statistics of 115 agricultural schools. Some of these are known as State agricultural high schools, some as district, and some as county agricultural high schools. The list also includes private agricultural schools of high-school grade. In Table 16 an attempt is made to indicate each school's source of income. Tables 6, 7, 18, and 19 include the statistics of 229 manual, industrial, vocational, technical, and trade schools. Tables 8, 20, and 21 present the statistics of 80 industrial schools for Indians. Many of the schools in this group do not report students of high-school grade. General or combined summaries of the four groups of schools will be found in Tables 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. These tables are given to facilitate comparison with former years when all these schools were included in one list. In addition to the schools mentioned above, Table 1 presents a list of 1,414 public high schools having 55,946 students in manual training, 19,909 in courses in agriculture, and 67,521 in courses in domestic economy. The same students may be in different courses, but no school reporting less than 20 students in at least one of these courses is included in the list. A complete summary of students in these courses reported by all the public high schools will be found in the chapter on public and private high schools of the 1914 Report of the Commissioner of Education.2 Enrollment in similar courses in private high schools and academies is also summarized in that chapter. The bureau has a list of more than 100 schools of the classes included in this chapter from which no statistical information could be obtained. It is expected that most of these schools will be able to report on the revised schedules for 1915. 1 Material under this heading for previous years will be found in the Annual Reports of the Commissioner of Education.
