With'D a few days nearly twenty million boys and girls will be en rolled in the public and private schools of the United States, for ming the greatest array of its kind the world has ever known. About two million of these will be in the private and incorporated institu tions, and nearly eighteen million in the public schools. There will be nearly a half million in tie city evening schools, the private kindergartens, the Indian and business schools, and others. The private schools always show a larg er propertion of increase in gool! times because the parents then have more money with, which to educate their children. But at their best these private schools have only about one-eighth or one ninth of the total of the public schools. The school system is therefore our chief educational fact and factor. It is the greatest single institution of the country. Its teachers nuri bernearly one-half a million-j about thr^e-fourths are women and these carry on their work n nearly 300,000 schoolhouses, lo pay for all these requires upwad of two hundred million dollars ? year, |and the value c the school property is between five and aix hundred millions. These enormous figures increase ! every year ; increase more rapidly in fact than the population itself I for the school expenditure per in habitant is larger every year, am the teacher's salaries are beinj raised ; rather too slowly, it is true but surely. In the pa?t twenty ?years the public school expend itures in (his country have increas two and one-half times for p/opertj and nearly three times for Bal ariei and other expenses. It costs rift) per cent, more to-day to educat? au American boy or girl than it did twenty years ago, but the I quality of education is fully one hundred cent, improved. N6 one objects to spending money on the schools, provided it is used by men who know what thay are doing. One good result that has been achieved, too, has been the leng thening of the school term, and this must go on until the schools in the rural districts are kept open at least nine of the twelve months. At present, with all the improve ments, some of them are opun on ly three or four months. Among the progressive educator the idea is general that the schoc term should be shortened durih the day and spread over as muc of the year as possible.

Some times the " period " comes too often - sometimes not often enough-sometimes the flow is too scant, and again it is too profuse. Each symptom shows that Nature needs help, and that there is trouble in the or gans concerned. Be careful when in any of the above con ditions. Don't take any and every nostrum advertised to cure female troubles. BRADFIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR is the one safe and sure medicine for irregular or pain ful menstruation.
