THE ATTENDANCE.
In regard to the attendance the superin-
tendent says the school continues stead
lily to increase in number. During the past
year the increase was little more than 4 per
cent. whereas the average increase for the ten
years ending with and including the last year
wac 335 per cent. During the decade ending
June. 1880, the population Of the District in
creased nearly 80 per cent, whereas the
school attendance increased nearly 40 per cent.
1t is instructive to study the relative increases
in the different kinds of schools. While the
increase in tendance for the whole school was
per cent that of the high schools was more
than 1877 per cent. that of the white high
school being more than 17.3 per cent. The un-
usual increase in attendance OF the high schools
was no doubt due in part to the establishment
of branch schools in the eastern and western
sections of the city and to the opening of a
business high school.
The late census gave the population of the
District 230.3 Allowing an increase Of per
cent the past year, the population may now be
