SCHOOL CENSUS.

The teachers in the public schools
start today taking the annual school
census of Gary. Between the 10th
and 30th of April all persons between
the ages or six and twenty-one years
Of age will be enumerated. There is
q state tax for school purposes which
is collected over the entire state and
then apportioned to the several com
munities on the basis of the number
of persons between the ages OF six
and twenty-one. This apportionment
amounts to approximately 81 per per-
son enumerated and every individual
missed in the present. census VIII
mean loss Of 81 TO the city OF Cary.
That is the local tax rate will have to
be just that much hi CHER TO make UP
the deficit caused by the failure to
enumerate all persons between the
ages OF six and twentyone. 1t is very
difficult to take the school census in
a town like Cary. where there are so
many people who do not speak Eng
lish and do not understand what the
census fs for 1t is exceptionally diff
fcult to enumerate persons Of is. IT.,
IS. 10 and 90 years Of age who are not
attending school
The public school teachers take the
school census each year because they
are able to divide the city up into rela-
lively small districts and become well
acquainted with the persons living in
each district. ANY person who under
stands the purposes Of this school
census can help reduce the tax Of Gary
by explaining the matter TO his neigh
bors who may understand
