WHEELING, W. Va, August l6, 1882.
To the Board Of Education Of Wheeling:
GESTLEMES-I was surprised when com
pared my census returns with those Of last
year; but after examining the books OF
last year for my district, dis
cover that the following are
q few of the errors contained therein. FIRE.
Guent instances of the same family being
counted more than once. Colored persons
living with white families or working for
them were counted with the family and
also separately. All boarders in boarding
houses we're counted without regard to
their lodging places, and also all dodgers
without regard to their boarding places.
The decrease from last year is so great that
it must be due to the errors Of some one,
my work, name the above errors, which
may be found upon examination OF the re-
turns for last year. I will require but q
short time to discover that the returns OF
last year are far from correct.
Respectfully submitted,
RoBT. II. PoGuE.
