Is Topeka About to Become a
ChildIess City!
School Superintendent Fears
Race Suicide Problem Here.
CENSUS FIGURES FALL OFF
Less Children in Schools Than
Last Year.
Effort Being Made to Verify
the EnumeratOrs' Count.

Are Topeka homes becoming child
less?
H. B. Wilson. city superintendent of
schools, suspects that such may be the
case, but until the results of an lnves-
tigation now being made are known
he will not announce any conclusions
Some time ago the school board
appointed enumerators to take a cen
suS of all persons of school age IN To-
peKa- They found only 1O,374 be-
tween the ages of and p wears. A
census of the same kind is taken by
the county enumerators. the county
census takers found 1856. Both sets
of enumerators worked at the same
time, beginning last May.
Naturally a question arises as to
which set of figures is the more cor
rect. To add to the discrepancy, the
county enumeratorS Topped off one
year in counting those of school age.
They listed those between the ages OF
5 and 20 years, while the school
boards enumeratorS took all between
5 and 81 years.
A Recount Ordered.
Naturally we desired to have the
figures of the school board enumer-
ators verified" said H. B. Wilson, city
superintendent of schools, and Tor
this reason we have ordered a recount.
This is being made now"
But the surprising feature OF both
the school boards and the county S
enumerations is that both show de-
crease in the number of persons OF
school age for the year 1915, com
pared with 1914. According to the
school board enumerators, this de-
crease is 1882. While the city shows
a decrease the county shows an IN
crease of 1O6 and John F. Eby, coun-
ty superintendent, believes there is
greater increase in the county than
this.
'"Topcka is not a fast growing, boom
city, said H. B. Wilson, and be-
lieye that the number of persons in
family in Topeka is decreasing, but 1t
is hard for me to believe that the
actua; number of persons Of school
age in Topeka is actually less than
year ago.
Married Persons Let Out.
Superintendent Eby advances the
theory that possibly the school board
enumerators did not include married
persons. There are many persons in
Topeka between the ages of q nd 81
years, who are married and who do
not like to be listed as school chill
drcn' Possibly when such persons
objected to being enumerated, the
school board census takers passed
them up.
MANY persons leave the city during
the summer months and possibly these
also were not included by the school
board counters, while understand the
county enumerators included all such
persons"
Apportionments of the state school
fund are made on a basis of school
If the present figures are
allowed to stand, the city of Topeka
will receive approximately $l,50O less
from the state than was the case last
wear.

IN week $4,000 FARES

Many Passengers Fair Week.

The street railway company handled
the state fair crowds we'll last week,
importing forty motormen and con-
ductors from Wichita and St Joseph
to assist the local men. Howard Pat

that $4,000 fares and transfers were
collecterd during the week Approx
mately 10000 of this number were
on fair grounds cars.
Although there was much conges-
ton on Kansas avenue due to the long
trains of cars bound for the big free

BACK To WINFIELD.
Boys in Topeka Industrial School VIII
Be Sent Away.

Several boys. confined at the Kan
sas Boys Industrial home here, are
to be transferred to the State
Home for Feeble Minded at Winfield,
H. w. Charles, superintendent of the
local institution, announced today.
The Winfield institution had been
hampered for lack of room because of
a fire which destroyed one of the
buildings, and as a result courts, in
various parts of the state, sentenced
boys 10 the Topeka schools, who, it is
said, more properly belonged in the
Winfield institution.
With the completi-n of a new build
ing at Winfield, however, Mr.. Charles
said, arrangements hive been made
for the transfers.

COLONY FOR
NORTH CAROLINA.

Wilmington, N. c., July 9.-Prepara-
tions have been completed for the es
tablishment of a colony of ex-patriated
Belgians near this city. The farms
have been prepared, the houses built
and renovated and the farms stocked
so that the Belgians as fast as they
arrive can get to work putting in a
crop for this season. LA Petite Bel
giQue" is the name of the little col
ony. The French language will be
spoken,a every effort made to main
tain the link of patriotism and good
feeling with the parent country. The
colony will maintain itself by produc-
ing vegetables and fruit for the New
York market under excellent cOndi-
tons of soil and climate. The project
has the approval of the Department
of Agriculture. The Belgians are be-
ing transported from England at re-
duced rates, and they are bringing
their families with them.
