THE STATE SCHOOL CENSUS

 State Population Estimated.

Little Rock, Aug. 25. From the reports of the 75 county ex- aminers, the last of which was filed Monday, the state superln. tendent has figured up the total school enumeration for the state, as follows: Total white males, 1oS. .403. total white females, lSS, 595; making au aggregate of 3S6. .996 white children; total col bred males, 7S, 572; colored female 79,235, or an aggregate of l57,- S07 negro children of school age. The total school population IS therefore 544.805. Reckoning on the standard basis of 2.7 times the school population as the total population, 1t is found that there are 1,470.947 people in Arkansas. However, this is not an absolute test, and 1t is more than likely that the variation in favor of the aggregate of pop ulation would bring the total to 1, 500,000.
