The books of the school census
of 1905 were not completed, but
it was known there had been de-
cided falling off, attributable to
the school age being made seven
to nineteen, the old law being five
to twenty-one years of age. Five
books were presented, which were
sworn to and accepted, and two
were not made out. From the
clerks Of these boards, who took
the census, it was developed that
there had been u falling off of at
least 90 per cent. as compared.
with the census of 1900, the last.
taken, which showed 8,806 white
and colored children enrolled. The
census af 1905 showed $500 white
and colored, a falling off 2,1lo.
