THE CENSUS SHOWS THAT THERE ARE 100"

4 census Of the school sttings and the school
population was completed yesterday by Supern-
tendent Jasper. and the result shows that the

dations Not that the tota number of stings I'm
Of children OF school age in the city but because
the sittlngs in some departments insufficient.
while In others there too many Mr.. Jasper
said 20 a Tribune reporter yesterday:
The general result OF the census shows that the
number Of sittngs and number o. children de-
string 10 attend school are somewhat unequally
scattered In some sections OF the city We nave
many more sttings than We know what 20 90
with while couple OF miles away we find more
children than there arc sittings. Then, again. We
find a similar inequality in the same schoo. In
some OF the classes there are many vacant seats.
while in other classes there are more Applications
FOR si,tngs than can find When we hrst
started in our census We noticed this inequality
IN the number OF sittncs and school children.
When we first summed up our reports. We found
that there we're several thousand more sittings
than there were school children. but when we
come 10 consider the inequality in the division Of
population, we find that have some 10000
sittiugs too few
Another difficulty We have had to contend with
is tho fact that the attendance at the schools Is
not regular For instance suppose that the day
Oh which census taken visited a certain school
rainy; many scholars would be absent, ana
80 more sittngs than usual would be vacant.
The results OF the census go to show that many
more sttings should be furnished than there are
scholars, for in a city growing az rapidly as New
York, and where the population liz constantly
shifting about from one section to another. II Is
OF sItuneS Is only little more than the number
OF school children"
