Age Grade Census of Richmond Public Schools
Shows City Has Many Normal Boys and Girls
Superintendent Giles Works
Out Tabulated Statement
Showing Ages of Pupils
Little Time Lost in Repeat
ing Work - Course of
Study Better Adapted to
Girls.
BY SUPERINTENDENT GILES

An age-grade census is a tabulated
statement of the number of pupils OF
each age in each grade in school.
Boys and girls are kept separate since
the census reveals different conditions
due to sex. Those pupils are regard
ed as of normal age VINO are six or
seven years old in the first grade,
seven or eight in the second grade,
eight or nine in the third grade, etc.
Pupils under seven in the second
grade, under eight in the third grade,
etc, are classed as under age. Pupils
over seven in the first grace, over
eight in the second grade, etc, are
classed as over age.
Such a census of the Richmond
schools reveals several Interesting
facts.
Table No. l shows in the first hori-
zontal row the number Of boys in each
grade in the city schools. The sec
ond row Of figures in this table gives
the number of boys in each grade of
normal age as defined above. This is
followed by the number of average
and under-age boys in each grade. The
next following rows show the number
of boys one year over age, TWO years
over age, etc. The vertical column
headed per cent shows that 70 per cent
of the boys in the Richmond schools
are of normal age, p per cent are
over age and 6 per cent are under
age. The total years lost by over
age boys is 538, while the years gained
Is 104. The last vertical column gives
the average figures for the same facts
in 319 cities of the United States as
reported by the United States bureau
of education. From this comparison
we see that Richmond has a larger
per cent of boys of normal age, a
smaller per cent of average boys, and
larger per cent of under-age boys.
Much less time is lost in repeating
work in the Richmond schools than
in the average city OF the United
States. This loss of time may be still
further decreased and the gain may
be increased by better adaptation of
the course of study, methods of in
structiOn, grading, promotion, etc, to
the normal child.
Table No. 2 gives the same facts for
the girls that Table No 7 gives for
the boys. A comparison Of these ia
bles reveals some striking differences.
A larger per cent of girls are OF nor
NAL age and a co1espondingly smaller
per cent are over age. The girls gain
147 years to the boys 104, and lose
only 1862 to the boys 5S3. The course
of study and instruction would seem

NOT GUILTY
Vohlney Miller to Be Given
Hearing Soon.

Charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill, Vohlney Miller,
entered a plea of not guilty at his pre-
liminary hearing in circuit court to-
day. Miller was bound over from
police court last week after he had
shot at his wife, Ed Garthwaite and
Jake Bronson on November 5.
Jealousy was said to have been the
cause of the shooting. Mrs. Miller is
staying on Fort Wayne avenue. Gar
thWaite came to see her regarding
some work which he wanted her to do
for his mother. Miller entered the
house and chased Garthwaite from it,
shooting at him. He then turned on
Mrs. Miller and shot at her. After eX-
changing several shots without injur-
ing any one. the police were called and
the affair ended.
Millers trial has not been set down
by the Judge but will be held soon.

ALL-STAR ELEVEN
Sport Writer Places Three
Chicago and Purdue Play
ers on Team.

Football critics have already begun
their selection Of players to make up
the all-star aggregation chosen from
the teams of the Big Nine conference
A day ago Tom Steffins, one of the
football critics O. the Chicago Tribune
offiCiated at a game in Muncie. When
interviewed regarding the material for
the big eleven of the conference, he
gave the following list or men who
would be chosen to fill positions on
the honorary squad by the Windy City
critic The premier squad is as fol
lows:
Right End-Solis, Minnesota.
Right Tackle-Butler, Wisconsin.
Right Guard-Glossip, Purdue.
Center-Des Jardien, Chicago.
Left Guard-Harris, Chicago.
Left Tackle-Pratt, Purdue.
Left End-Graves, Illinois.
Quarterback-Gross, Iowa.
Right Half-Oliphant, Purdue.
Left Half-Norgen, Chicago.
Fullback-Shaughne Minnesota
Had not Davis, the Indiana univer-
sity star tackle, been injured in the
early part of the season and not being
able to participate in many games, he
would have been chosen right tackle
over Butler, of Wisconsin," said Stef
fms.
Purdue and Chicago universities are
divided evenly over the number OF
representatives on the team. Oil
plant, the blonde Boilermaker star, is
mentioned for All-Western material
but he will be ptted against the
sprinter halfback, Craig, Of Michigan
in the selection.

NOHR'S TWO TEAMS
WILL Be CRIPPLED
High School Quintettes to
Use Some Scrubs on
Thanksgiving.

Considerable doubt over the out
come of the games to be played on
Thanksgiving evening between repre-
sentative teams of the Y. NJ G. A
and the high schoo1 are entertained
by Physical Director Nohr. After he
had agreed to send two teams to take
part in the benefit on Thanksgiving
he learned that a number of his play.
ers have already made arrangements
for spending the holiday and taking
part in basketball game is not one
of them,
The team plays the evening before
at Marion, and part Of the team will
not return to Richmond until the fol
lowing Monday This leaves Director
Nohr shorthanded when he attempts
to send to teams to pray against the
association quintets.
AS tickets have been printed, there
seems nothing else to do but go ahead
with the games, so the high school
will send two teams ana take chances
with the Y. M. G. A. boys.

Pupils Make Unwelcome Dis
covery There Is No Special
Holiday February %.

Without jar, jerk, jolt. tug. strain. or
bump. the public schools of the Dis
trict today resumed sessions following
the Christmas holidays.
Only little excitement in young
minds, full Of thoughts of Christmas
and New Year gayeties, made the
day any different from any other school
days SO far as the pupils were concern
ed, but the teachers were thinking oc-
casionally that as soon as the afternoon
session is ended they can hurry to cash
the checks given them this morning
for the second half of December. The
money Is welcome, for 1t has been an
expensive Chrfstmastide, as others than
school teachers know well.
The painful discovery was made to-
day by a number Of students that
Washington's Birthday comes this year
on Saturday, and even the fact that
March will be an extra holiday does
not compensate for the cheated sense
which arises from the fact that no
extra day is gained on February %.

Efforts Will Be Made to

The Senate District Committee will

ference for a long time, and at the

to reach an understanding whereby the
difference with the House can be COM
promised and the bill passed.
Another hearing will be conducted
Monday on the Kenyon red light
bill" This viii probably end the
hearings.
Oppose New Railway.
The District Commissioners have sub
mitted to the Senate District Commit
tee an adverse report on the bill to
incorporate the Virginia Terminal Com
pany. This is the bill to construct a
street railway from Aqueduct Bridge
along NJ street. New Jersey avenue and
Massachusetts avenue, to the Union
Station.
The Commissioners point out that on
March 20, 1912, they submitted a report
to the Senate giving their views on the
need of additional street railway lines
In the Capital. They find the plans OF
that report and hence refuse to recon-
mend the new project.
Faith In One Company.
The Commissioners adhere to the be-
lief that the street railway lines in the
District should be under one manage
ment or control; they favor an exten-
sion along NJ street northwest, from
Twenty-sixth street to New Jersey ave-
nue.. but they hold that no adequate
reason has been shown why II should
be built by a new company rather than
one Of the existing companies.
II the bill is enacted, they urge 1t be
amended to protect the public interest
and they strongly advise no action be
taken until a public utilities commits
son is created.
