Heretofore the school census of Br- | mingham has been taken every two years i during the odd years. 1t has been de- cided by the Board of Education not to take the census this year, but wait and take 1t next year along with the rural districts, as provided by the state. glance at the school census figures | taken in the Birmingham district in 1903 and in 1906 is of interest, and gives some l idea of what the school system of Great l CT Birmingham will be. 1t also gives some idea of the possible population of 1 the bigger city.
 | The school census of Birmingham | proper in 1905 was 13S5S. The census of l the scholo districts outside of the city and in the Greater Birmingham territory | in 1906 was 12591. This gives a combined
 school population in the Greater Bir- | m.ngham territory of 26.455.
 1 Conservative estimates place the total | school population at the taking of the census next year at more than 30.0j0. | Think of such an army of school chil- dren for which Mother Birmingham must provide! A full attendance at the schools
 would require the services of about 1000 teachers and supervisors, and would te- auire something like half million dol . lars annually for operating expenses. By the usual method of calculating the total population of district on the school population, Greater Birmingham next year will have a total population of about 10000. It is believed that this figure will be exceeded. as many of the
 suburban districts included in the survey have almost doubled in population since the census was taken. and are still grow ing very rapidly The figures used iD this estimate are very conservative. and 1t is believed that they may be relied upon. To get the total population the school population Is multiplied by 4

ZENA AND SPRING VALLEY.

Mrs. s. H. Barker has been quite
sick the past week.
Road Supervisor G. H. Crawford is
at work on the roads with all the crew
he can get.
Mrs. Samuel Phillips is in Salem
for few days visit. She is improv-
ing from her long sick spell.
Mr.. Tuple, who has purchased a
part Of the old McLench place, is
building new house and barn.
A farewell reception was given Mr..
Edmondson and family last Friday
evening. A large number of friends
and neighhors were present. A nice
lunch was served by the ladies. All
report having had fine time.
The Observer correspondent left
Zena on a pleasant day this week to
look over the country in Lower Spring
Valley. Quite few things were OBJ
served. One Of the finest fields OF
winter wheat was seen on the Denny
farm. Mr.. Goodfellow has turned
his attention to stock and dairying. A
little farther on, we saw one Of the
best and cleanest bands OF sheep,
belonging to Mr.. Branchflower. Very
little farming is being done in this
district, the farmers having turned
their fields to pasture and are engaged
in raising hogs and sheep and in
deirying. Ben Windsor has done the
most farming, having pIowed the
greater part Of his land on the hills.
The roads are good in the hills for
this time of the year.

The Observer is still running Royal
Baking Powder. Better look at your
contract, J. C.-Itemizer.
The OBSERVER is certainly at loss
to understand what the Itemizer
means by the foregoing item. While
the matter can be of no possible public
interest, we will say for Bro. Fiske's
benefit that our contract with the
Royal people provides that we shall
run their advertising until May 81,
1907, and then discontinue 1t, pending
further instructions. The writer has
been in the newspaper business Is
years and this is the first instance he
has ever known Of one publisher try
ing to keep tab on another publishers
foreign advertising. Most printers
have other and more important work
to do. We might also add that the
man who attends to his own affairs
always has good steady job.
