Scholastic Age as Compared With
1916 i'm 1913-BeIief Is Census
Is Inaccurate.

A decrease of 1873 in the scholastic
population of the city under that OF
last year was noted when the final
count was made yesterday. Sam Hllz-
holm and Jay Levine, who were en-
ployed by Harry Hanf, secretary OF
the Pine Bluff school board, to can
vass the city, completed their work
the first part of the week, and the
final tabulation was made yesterday.
The number of school children III the
city as shown by the census report
is 1866.
During the year 1918 gain of As
was shown over previous year. The
only increase shown in the census
this year is il the white males. The
number OF colored males is four less
than last year, while both the color
ed and white females show de-
crease.
The census includes school child
ren of the city between the ages oil
s and 20 years. The decrease OF this
year is attributed to the fact that
the census compilers found many
more people on their vacations this
year tuau vi dry pACNIOuo yOoi WhNA
a canvass was made. This is thought
to be the reason why the census does
not show gain.
The total number of school child
