snow. We had had rain for sew

Inc total NUMBER or persons OF

The rate of apportionment for each
person of school age residing in the
state on the thirtieth day of June,
1911, outside of the cities of the first
class, was $2,6S3. The rate of ap-
portionment for each person of

persons of school age
The total number of children re-
ported is ninety-siX less than the to-
tai number reported as residing in

The total amount of money appor-
toned will be $706.81, plus S256.37,
less than the amount required for
the total number of persons at the

that it has been found necessary to

Of Franklin and Marshall college,

and when he reached Kenosha he
had only a little over a dollar in

fed the police that he would come to
Kenosha for him at once and direct
ed that he be held subject to his
coming. The father declared that he
would make good all the shortage.
