INCREASE STILL CONTINUES.
School Census Shows Continued
Growth of Billings.

While still showing an increase, the
school census of district No. 2 for
this year shows the smallest gain
recorded during the last six years.
When compared with the gain made
last year the increase is particularly
small, being only about 10 per cent,
as against IA per cent for 1902. Still
the gain made is a healthy n and
is a refutation OF the assertion heard
in some quarters that Billings has
arrived at a stationary stage in it's
existence. Particularly strong is the
evidence when it Is considered that
out of the total of the children enum-
Grated only about 100 live outside of
the city limits.
This morning Ira L. Whitney, clerk
of the district, completed his record
of the enumeration and turned it
over to the county superintendent OF
schools. To his courtesy The Gazette
is indebted for a summary.
The Figures.
The district contains SO males and
| 80 females between the ages of 6 and
8 years, making a total of 1872. Be-
tween 8 and IA years there are 246
males and 257 females, a total of sos.
Between IA and 81 years there are
215 males and 22O females. Total,
435. The females unaer 6 years
number 245 and the males 228, making
a total of 473.
The total OF all ages is Sci females
and 1872 males, making a grand total
of 1908. The females outnumber the
males 80.
Last year the females numbered As
more than the males and the total
of all children of school age was
1,O25, while this year it is 1,130, show
ing an increase of los. Last years
grand total was 1,447, showing an
increase for this year of 156.
