DEAR MISS FAIRFAX

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am twenty-one and in love with .
girl of twenty. She has always recip-
rocated nay love and things looked very
bright for our future until about six
weeks ago. when her actions toward
me changed considerably. I have done
nothing to hurt her feelings and am
sure she has no reason for her change
of attitude. I stiH meet her about
twice a week. but am afraid to ask
her about the above subject, which has
given me considerable worry. VIII
you kindly tell me what steps ] should
take? Z. b, jr.
think you are a good deal too
timid. Why should you be afraid of
the girl you are in love with? Make
a point of seeing her and talking
the thing out. Don't let so serious

SCHOOL CENSUS
SHOWS DECREASE
Fewer Children of school Age in
County This Year. Than
Last

A slight decrease in the school
census of Whitman county, larger
decrease in average daily attendance
and considerable increase in sal
aries of instructors is noted in COM
parison of the school eports of
the county for the past two years.
Deputy superintendent H, A. Ellis

state office for the school year re-
Gently ended
The total census of all boys and
girls between the ages of four years
and p years in the 176 school dis
tricts of the county was 10,107 in
June of this year, made up of 5049
boys and 505S girls. The census a
year ago showed $3.50 boys and
5166 girls, total of 1899.
Enrolment in the public schools
for the year just ended consisted of
AHA boys and 40S3 girls, total of
S197 During the previous year
there were 1870 boys and 4246 girls
enrolled, total enrolment of S516.
The decrease in enrolment is at
tributed largely to the influenza cpl
demic last fall, as many of the older
pupils who usually enter school late
in the fall, did not enter last year.
The average daily attendance for
the past year was 5767, made up of
2S03 boys and 1850 girls, the girls
eXcelling the boys in attendance,
although the enrolment of girls was
smaller that that of the boys For
the previous year the average daily
attendance was 3040 boys and 1892
girls, a total average daily attend
arce of 1892.
Enrollments by grades shows that
the second grade and the sophomore
ard junior years in the high school
arc the only grades that show a
larger attendance in 1919 than in
Gazette.
