ence 20 the scholastic enrolment
Last year ve had enrolled s15 scho-
last.cs This Included an children in
the city between the ages Of : and n,
This year there were enrolled Tor
those same ages 735 making a gain
for these ages Of 12O. This is per
cent gain OF % and shows that the
population OF the city has Increased
,n that ratio The per cent OF gain
last year over the year before was
the same Taking these figures the
city has Increased In population
about 50 per cent In two years
This should be gratifying to the
people of Snyder and I am sure is
The entire enrolment this year FOR

the ages or z and Is is 769. Two
years ago % was less than 500 The
school has been taught Tor twenty
full days this month and all work
has been excellent The University
visitor OF schools was with US and re-
commended four and one-half more
units OF afflliatlon This, u granted
will give as seventeen and one-half
units doubt II there is another
school the size Of this In this section
of Texas with as many units.
Il has been rumored that We are
to have but oue or two weeks school
work this month and the balance OF
the time Is to be devoted to practice
for exhibition. | take this occasion to
say that such is not the case. Work
will proceed right up to the last day
Of the month. We need all the time to
get these children ready or promotion
Again thanking the good people OF
Snyder for consideration, am.
Yours to serve.
