SCHOOL CENSUS FOR DURHAM COUNTY


The school census of Durham
county has been completed and
the figures tabulated by Superin-
tendent c. w. Massey. The fig
ures are interesting.
The census as reported by the
census takers shows that there
are now fewer children in the
county than there were one year
ago. the decrease occurring en-
tirely in the ranks of the colored
population, while the white popu-
lation shows a slight increase.
1t is shown that there are now
a total of 10, ,375 children of school
age in the county. this number
being divided as follows: Out
side the city limits $3.50; inside
the city 1895. OF these there
are $3.50 white children and s.
6S6 colored children. The whites
are divided as follows: Inside
the city 1926: outside the city
.3.454. Colored inside the city
1.760 and outside the city limits
1926.
The figures last year showed
that there were 6,363 white chill
dren in the county. 1886 being
outside the city and 3,107 inside
the city. This shows a gain of
l2S inside the city and a loss of 2
on the outside of the city, a total
gain of 126.
Last year there were 1913
colored children in the county,
2,007 living in the rural sections
and 1911 inside the city. As
compared with the latest census
this shows a loss of l51 inside
the city and a loss Of 81 in the
rural sections, or a total loss of
235 colored children when the
reports are compared. Subtract.
ing the gains showed by the
whites from the loss of log in
the number of children this year
as compared with a year ago.
Prof. Massey was speaking of
these figures and said that he
was at a loss TO account for the
decrease as shown. but said that
his report was tabulated from
the reports az sent in by the
census takers from all parts of
the county. For two years in
succession the number of chill
dren in the county has shown a
decrease over the previous year.
I On the basis of the figures that
have just been tabulated the
county school board of education
will, at the meeting next week,
make the apportionment for the
year, this being the final per
capita apportionment of the
school funds.
