CITY CENSUS COMPLETED.
SMALL INCREASE Is SHOWN IN THE
NUMBER OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Comparison Reveals Several Interesting
Facts Relative to Education
and Children.s

Enumeration Hoyl has finished tax.
ing the city school census. and has
turned his table of statistics over to
the city school board
The census shows that there are I'll
children in Dawson between the ages
OF six and eighteen years, 32l of whom
are white and $50 colored. OF the
whites 1872 are males and 1859 females,
and of the colored 200 are male and $50
females.
A comparison Of the census jus.
completed with that of 1898 reveals a
a number of interesting facts. The
present census shows an increase of
eight, six white and two colored. 1t
also shows that there are q total
of seventeen children, two white
and fifteen colored, who can read but
cannot write. 1t gives the number of
children over ten years OF age who can
neither read nor write as SO, all of
whom are colored. This is very en-
couraging fact, showing illiteracy in
the city to be largely on the decrease.
the census of 1898 showing that there
were 70 children over ten years of age
who were without a knowledge of
either reading or writing.
The present census also reveals the
fact that school attendance is on the
increase. In 1898 there were II chill
dren who had never attended any
school, while the number this year is
only seven. The figures as to school
attendance show that four whites have
never been in school, while there are
only three negroes who have never at
tended an institution of learning.
Enumeration Hoyl states that one
fact discovered in connection with his
work is that there are many families
in Dawson in which there are no chill
dren at all. The percentage of such
families, he says, is very large.
The consolidated report of the enum-
orator shows much care and exactness
on his part. He was complimented by
the board on the faithfulness with
which he did his work.
