Ten Years ShOlCn

An increaseof 1895 within the last
10 years Is shown by the federal school
census Of Memphis. which has been
recently completed and which has Just
been received by the board OF educa-
ton. In 1910, there were 30. 462 boys
and girls between the ages Of and
q years residing In this city while the
census Of this year gives total Of
1855.
Comparison of the two census reports
show that In 1910. there were a.402
white boys and 5.-34 negro BOYS. This
year there are t2.s74 white boys and
7 23S negro boys that are residents
OF Memphis and which makes total
of 20,ll2 or a gain OF 1876 white and
negro boys.
Ten years ago the census report
showed that there were 10,4S3 white
girls and 6,S93 negro girls or total
Of 1895. The report for this year
registers 14,228 white girls and S.623
negro girls This makes n gain of 3. 70
790 white girls and 1880 negro girls
during the last 10 years.
The white increase in that length
Of time Is 1852 and the negro gain for
the same length OF time is 1924.
1t was decided at a meeting of the
school board some time ago TO accept
the federal census report rather than
