MAY MAKE
SCHOOL CENSUS
Board Of Education Likely to
Reach Some Agreement
With City Assessors
THE COST IN OTHER CITIES

The Board of Education last night
discussed the compulsory education
law in connection with taking a census
of the school children. The law pro-
vides that unless a canvass is made
to learn the number Of children oe
school age in the city, the State treas
urer shall withhold one-fourth of the
State appropriation for schools in VIII
mington.
The matter was brought up by DR..
Cooper of the First ward. Secretary
Guthrie of the board. read several
communications on the subject. He
wrote to City Solicitor Townsend. ask
ing that in the event of the city as
SCISSORS failing TO make the canvass
would the board be liable to lose The
portion Of the State Appropriation as
provided in the law.
Mr.. Townsend replied that he was OF
the opinion that inasmuch as the board
had done its best to set the CITY as-
SCISSORS to make the canvass, the State
treasurer would not withhold the APP
preparation under discussion. He said
however. that he could not answer Tor
what the State treasurer might do.
The city assessors replied that II
would be an utter impossibility for
them to make the census for the sum
of 81 per hundred names, as provided
by law. The assessors made the sug-
gestion that the board give financial
assistance to have the work done. They
added that the matter had been re-
ferred by them to their attorney and
on receiving a reply from him, thcy
would again take up the matter Will
the board.
What it Cost Other Cities.
Acting at the direction of the board
Superintendent of Schools Twitmyei
obtained information concerning the
cost of making such a census in Othei
cities. In Harrisburg he found tha
the census cost $1,000. or ten cents pc
scholar. the enrolment of school chill
dIen in that city being 10000. Their
were forty enumerators employed.
Erie. with Ike population as Harris
burg. $1,000, and an enrolment of l2,
800 children, paid sS7S for the work
High school graduates at 81 da.
were employed in that city.
Reading, with 1874 school children
paid $3.50 for making the canvass, o
seven cents for each child Of schoo
age.
In Philadelphia, where the enroll
pent of school children is 2s3,0S4. tn
work was done by attendance officer
Of the schools at a cost Of 3.2 cents pc
each child.
superintendent Twitmver expresse'
the opinion that the canvass could b
made in Wilmington for at least wha
Reading pals. seven cents for eacl
name. He thought 81 for each one hun
dred names was entirely too low 70
the work.
No action was taken by the board
but the matter will be taken UP agar
probably at the next meeting of tn
board.
