Prof. Crsgo, principal Of the Richie
scbc oil, asks hat the highest grade of the
D division of that school be made a grade of
the G division, and that the highest grade Of
ibe c division be made a grade Of the B
division. Since there are several grades in
The d division in that school, and since the
grades referred to have studies belonging to
the grade into which they are asked to be
converted, l think that said
CHANGE WOULD BE ADVISABLE"

The following communication from Robt.
q. Pogue, census enumeration for the Upper
district, was received and read:
COMMUNICATION or Mr.. PoGUE.
To the Board Of EdHeation:
CENTENNIAL the last meeting Of your
Board the report OF the census enumerators
was not accepted. On account Of the de-
crease in the population it was thought that
errors must exist. To ascertain if there
might possibly be some errors or mistakes
in the figures or footings, | have examined
the books and find no mistakes.
! have taken the census this time with
equally as much regard for accuracy, as at
aay time heretofore, and in Union district,
where the decrease is greatest, with as
much care as in any Of the districts. If the
POPULATION Is AS GREAT
az it was a year ago, and there is no de-
crease, as some seem to believe, | an salts
fed that it csnnet be found by the present
method Of tskirg the census which is the
same as the methods of previous years.
That it is not taken at the proper time Of
| the year will not account for the decrease,
because the census oil last year, with which
it is compared, was taken at the same time
of the year, though l think that the census
returns would show some increase, were
they taken at come other time than in the
summer months.
