THE SCHOOL ENUMERATION.
From April 10 to 20 Work Will Pro-
coed in This State.

There is much activity about the Office
of the superintendent of public instruction,
at the Statehouse. From April 10 to 20 the
annual enumeration of minors of the school
age is to be taken, and the clerks in the
office are busy sending the blanks for this
purpose to the county superintendent In
Indiana there are about r. 900 schools, with
700 900 children of the school age On the
enumeration made each year depends the
per capita distribution of the school funds.
Besides the state funds available for this
purpose there is the congressional fund,
which is distributed by congressional dis
tricts, so that the enumerations have to
be classified not only by county and school
districts, but also by congressional districts.
When tho work of sending out the blanks
is completed 1900 enumeration books for
the use of the enumerators and 80 600 trans
fer blanks will have been distributed. A
very important branch of the enumeration
work is to get an accurate account of the
number OF transfers that are mader-that is,
the number of pupils leaving tie school in
their own district to go to a larger and
better school in another.
The number of transfers that are made, >"
said Mr.. Geeting yesterday, lis an argu-
ment in favor of abolishing district in favor
of township schools. The people are them
selves bringing about this result Naturally
they desire to send their children to the
AS a result some of the district schools are
almost deserted. Many of them close to-
gether might be abolished and a graded
school, with efficient teachers, established
at a considerable saving. With the district
system prevailing, the teachers of large
schools have more than they can do prop
erly, and teachers in the small ones have
hardly anything to do"
Inquiries have been received from Wiscon-
sin. where an effort to abolish district
schools in favor of township schools is being
agitated. A school journal published in
that State shows that large per cent. of
enrolled pupils in three given districts left
these schools to go to graded schools, leav-
ing but handful in either of the three
schools, none of which were more than a
mile apart. The argument made, was that
if the three were consolidated in one
there would be better result from an edu-
cational point of view, besides which the
expense would be reduced over so per cent
''There are some bad conditions in Wis
consin." said Mr.. Geeting, that do not
prevail here, am glad TO say, but the needs
of consolidating the district into township
schools here is great, II seems to me. The
