RECORD OF THE SCHOOLS
FOR THE LAST YEAR

Figures have been compiled By
County superintendent of Schools l.
h. Cooley showing the daily average
attendance for the year ending July
1912, for both the grammar and hign
school districts, of which there are
36 grammar school districts and five
union high school districts.
The total average daily attendance
of the grammar schools last year was
1928, a gain of 1874 over the preceding
year, while the attendance at the high
schools was 255, a gain of 50.
Owing to formation of new school
districts in the rural territory and the
consequent loss of territory to exist
ing districts the figures in the follow
ing table i'll number of cases do not
show the full gain in school attend
ance. The large number of changes
made in boundaries, however, have
made a great difference in the dis
tance to be travelled by the children
on the farms.
El Centro grammar school, with All
average daily attendance OF 21S, the
largest in the county, shows an in
crease of 2S pupils over 19t0-1911, an
increase second only to CaleXico
which school gained 80 in attendance.
The other city school gains are as fol-
lows: Brawley 10, Imperial g. Holt

of the list.

Plans have been cOnsummated for
extensive development in the north
end Of the valley through the canals
which divert water from the Alamo
and this big project will now complete
the work of development in that re-
gion so far as there is any probability
fer development for years.
AS the priority Of rights to water
in the river depend On beneficial use,
it has been highly desirable that this
work of development should soon be
undertaken, and this is spurring on
the work
When these canals are completed
they will cover all but about 10000
