The SCHOOL. CENSUS.
Work of Counting the School Children
in kenosha Completed This
Afternoon.
REPORT SHOWS SOME PROGRESS
Total Number of Children of school Age in
City und to be 8. 947-Makes Popu-
lation over $4,000 People

Jacob Kroncke, who has been at
work taking the school census of Ke-
nosha for several weeks past, complet-
ed his work this afternoon, but the
final report of the enumeration shows
little progress over the report made at
the same time last year, The total
number of children in Kenosha of the
school age is 3,947, an increase of forty
over last year. The increase for the
population of the city has not materi-
ally increased during the year just
passed. The Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Eighth wards show an increase in the
school children, but the other wards all
show small losses. The Pleasant Prai-
RE joint school district remains the
same with nine children, and the Som
seven over last year. The Fifth ward
has made the greatest gain and the
Fourth ward is a close second. AS
usual the report of the enumerator
shows that the shoot girls are numeric-
ally much stronger than the boys,
but the report shows that many
of the boys are attending school
who were not attending a year ago.
One thing of interest in regard to the
census in the fact that the private
schools have been forced to recognize
the value of the public schools and the
proportion Of students attending pri-
vate schools is not SO large as in other
years.
All the wards, save two, show de-
crease in the number of children at
tending the private schools.
The result of the census by wards is
given as follows:
