Children of School
Age Have Decreased
Board of Education Faces Retrench-
ment Following Taking of
New Census.

SAVANNAH, June 21.-General re-
trenchment by the Board Of Educa-
ton in Savannah and Chatham Coun-
ty schools may be necessary next
year because of a big decrease in
the number of children of school age.
as shown by a school census.
Supplemental enumerations are now
being taken in the two city districts
the third and fourth-and unless it
can be shown that the decrease is
an error in count, a serious crimp
undoubtedly will be put in the finan-
cial resources Of the board.
The exact figures of the census have
not been given out. and consequently
the exact size Of the decrease is not
known. Even if it was shown a mis-
take was made in the enumeration of
five years ago, and that the census
just taken is correct, this condition
Will not help the situation confront
ing the Board of Education, as a re-
duction will be made in the State APP
preparation just the same.
