Superintendent of Public schools
David A. Ward. at meeting of the
Board of Education last night sub
mltted a report showing the progress

for the taking of a school census by

gestion by DIR. Conwell Bantom that

was pointed out that Mr.. Wooten
spent practically all of his time at the
school including evening and sun
