SANTA ANA, May 10.-There has been
quite little speculation in regard to
the school csnnus OF Santa Ana. Last
year we had 1899 school children, while
this year we have but 1908, decrease
OF 81, making the city appear in bad
light, as if We had gone backward. Such
Is net the case, but or the other hand
we have increased about 125 children.
Last year the census WAS taken on all
children between the ages OF B and IL
years, while this year mono were en-
rolled that had passed their sixteenth
year. making q great difference in the
number OF children Of school age. That
we have had quite an increase in chill
dren OF schooi age is apparent by the
city being compelled to build now
school houses and renting large room
for school purposes in the Congden
block. The instructions of the state
school board to the census marshal, Mr..
MARQUIS. were not to enroll any who had
passed their seventeenth birthday. Mr..
Marquis made thorough house to
house canvass, and he is positive he has
the census as near right as i. is possible
to get it. The above explains why 1t
seems like our city has gene back ward
instead OF forward. Our schools are be-
lag crowded more and more every day,
and it will be but shert time, at tine
present increase, until we will be COM
PEELED to build another school building
to accommodate the increase OF chill
dren. 1t ia hoped that his papers will
make an explanation and set our city
right before the world, az the HERALD
has done.
