School Census Of the village of
Rutland.

The school census of the Rutland
graded school district, which includes
the corporate limits of the village of
Rutland, has just been concluded, and
the results are given below. 1t may be
proper to remark that there are large
number of families residing just without
the limits, and within from half mile
to mile from the depot, and doing bust
ness in the village, who are not included
in the returns. 1t will be seen from this
census, which has been taken by apains-
taking, accurate and reliable man, that
the population of the village, as incor-
porated, is far in excess of five thousand.
This will be evident, either taking the
number of families as returned, and al
lowing five to each family, which is the
usual average, or by taking the heads of
families, being the number of families
multiplied by two, and adding to these
the number of children under twenty,
with fair allowance for those over
twenty. When we add to these a rea-
sonable estimate of those residing Just
beyond the corporate limits, whose
places of business, schools, post office,
is within ten minutes walk of their
homes, we may fairly claim population
of over six thousand souls.
The result shows, either most enor-
nous growth of the village and its envi-
rons since the summer OF 1870, or else
that the census of that year was inaccu-
rate and carelessly taken.
