It will be seen from the foregoing tables that the census of 1880 reported 254,520 persons as engaged in the duties of clergymen, lawyers, physicians and surgeons, dentists, and pharmacists. In other words, the learned professions of law, medicine, and divinity number, in the aggregate, more than one-two-hundredths of the entire population. The size of this report forbids a detailed consideration of the proportion of these professions to the populations of the several States and Territories. I can only spare space here for an example of some tabular studies respecting the distribution of pharmacists in 1880 between the urban and other parts of the States. In the following table, the number of pharmacists in the urban parts of each State is assumed to be, to the urban population, as 1 to 1,500, while in the States that showed as a whole a larger proportion of pharmacists, the proportion of urban pharmacists to urban population is calculated to be as 1 to 1,000. Summary showing the number and population of municipalities containing 4,000 or more inhabitants, the rural population, and the estimated number of urban and rural pharmacists in the United States at the end of the census year 1880. TABLE XIV.-UNITED STATES MILITARY AND NAVAL ACADEMIES. In Table XIV of the appendix will be found the statistics of the examinations of candidates for admission to the United States Naval and Military Academies for the year 1881. TABLE XV.-DEGREES. The following summary shows for 1883 the number and kind of degrees, in course and honorary, that were conferred in the United States. The number of degrees noted as conferred in theology does not really represent the number of graduates in that faculty, because many of the best schools mention in their graduation certificates no particular degree as conferred on the graduate. All such cases, whenever they can be ascertained, should be classed as bachelors of divinity. As most of these graduates were also preliminarily educated in a classical collegiate course, ending with the bachelorship of arts, and as they usually receive, three years later, the mastership of arts as a matter of course, they have no need of a professional degree.
