llji State Will Pay $80,000 For Education; Big Increase North of Trancks. For the next scholastic term the state will owe the city schools approximately School auditor F. E. Sawyer has completed the enumeration of the scholastic census and present figures indicate that there will be over 11,000 children of school age in the city. The exact figure cannot be obtained until after the lists are revised.

Last year the census showed there were 9706 children in the city of scholastic axe, being between 7 and 17 years. Every name this year means to the schools. Last year it was 7.00. AVant All It may be possible that in taking the census this year some children were overlooked. Parents or guardians of children missed by the census taker are asked to advise Mr.

Sawyer. Others who know any children who have not been included in the lists are asked to phone them in. Every name means $7.15 to the schools. The greatest proportionate increase in school children is shown to be north of the tracks and west of Cotton avenue and north and south of the tracks east of Cotton avenue. The natural supposition that the greatest increase in proportion would be shown in the district, counting on the Mexican refugees, failed to materialize.

Chihuahuita Increase Small. The proportion of increase in Chihuahuita was less than that in any portion of the city. Chihuahuita is ready crowded while the American districts are filling up, is the reason given. Yet almost half of the school children of the city are located in the Chihuahuita district.
