Why does every Chesterfield have the same taste
. , . the same pleasing flavor and mildness.
Because we draw on not just one year’s tobacco
crop but crops of several different years to make
sure that Chesterfield’s quality never varies.
Every Chesterfield tastes just like every other
Chesterfield—mild? not strongs always with a pleas-
ing taste and aroma.
Fishing is the most important in-
dustry of Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—One-
fourth the population of the Unit-
ed States soon will be working again
at one of the nation’s biggest busi-
nesses—going to school.
The country’s educational systems
showing signs of continued re-
covery from the depression, are
getting ready to care for about
30,500,000 full-time daily students.
More than 27,000,000i will be in
public schools and approximately
3,000,0000 in private institutions.
These are exclusive of special or
part time students in adult educa-
tion and other fields.
Enrollment May Decline
Government education ’ officials
isays, however, there are indica-
tions that the national enrollment
has become stationary, and that
it may decline slightly this year
and for four or five years to ccme.
A falling birth rate is bring about
reduced attendance >a!t elemen-
tary schools.
The effect of this decrease in
births was offset for several years
by the rapid increase in. the high
school attendance due to more
children going to. high school
from the lower grades and to stu-
dents remaining longer in high,
school because of curtailed job op-
portunities.
The birth rate reached a low of
16.6 births per 1,000 of population
in 1933 as compared with 25.1 in
1915 and 22.4 in 1924. But in 1934
it increased to 17.1 and this pick-
up is expected to be reflected by
an increase in school attendance
after 1940
School Finances Better
Reports to the United (States of-
fice of education indicate that with
the exception of districts severe-
ly affected by this summer’s
drought, the school outlook with
respect to finances and facilities is
generally brighter.
Substantial improvement in the
school equipment, particularly new
buildings constructed with public
works funds, greater stability in
school financing in many states
and partial restoration of teacher s
salary cuts are reported.
The closed school problem, so
acute in 1933-1934 when the educa-
tional depression “hit bottom” was
virtually non-existent last year
from, a national standpoint. Few
schools are expected to be shut
down this year because of lack of
funds.
Kindergarttens on Rise
Kindergartens, drastically cur-
tailed during the retrenchment pe-
riod. have been “coming back,” but
are described as still considerably
below 1931-1932 levels.
Conditions in the rural schools,
however, are said to be below
what educators described as “the
relatively low standards” of pre-
depression days. A survey by the
office of education shows that in
only five states is the average sal-
ary received by a rural teacher as
high as it was in 1929-1930. These
states are California, Delaware
Maryland, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island.
