students, thus doubling the total
from the 1945 figure of 420,000 the
projection indicated.
The news service estimate did
not include a tally of new teachers
or buildings this fall. But last
April’s NCWC Education Depart
ment estimate said that for the
1956-57 school year, there were
9,700 grade schools staffed by
89,000 teachers and 2,350 high
schools staffed by 35,000 instruc
tors.
Enrollment expansion in all
schools, Catholic and other, is re
flected in a report issued this
month by U. S. Education Com
missioner Lawrence G. Derthick.
Placing the total attendance at
schools of all types at 43,135,000,
Mr. Derthick’s report said this
meant one of every four persons
in the United States will be in
school. He estimated this fall’s
total enrollment as about 1,769,000
above that of last year.
About 26,037,000 pupils will be
in public grade schools this year
as against 25,283,000 last year,
said Mr. Derthick. An estimated
7.399.000 will be attending public
high schools as compared to about
6.876.000 last year, he declared.
The commissioner’s report put
the number of students at univer
sities, colleges and professional
schools, including junior colleges
and normal schools, at 3,450,000
this fall, as against 3,244,000 last
year.
The news service estimate of
Catholic enrollments is based on
an estimated rate of increase for
a one year period, using studies
and estimates for past years issued
by the NCWC Department of
Education.
