SCHOOL CENSUS
SHOWS INCREASE
Population of City of Ke-
nOsha Based on School
Census is Sit
INCREASE Is OVER $50
Average Increase of Children
of School Age Is
Doubled This Year.

The population of the city of Ke-
nosha is now 51,720.
That figure was arrived at today with
the final compilation of the figures in
the annual school census completed
in the office of Miss Elizabeth Lyman
for the board of education. The pop
ulation figure is based on the school
census, and while it is not official, it
is recognized as being very close to
the actual population figures in the
city as of July 20, when the census
takers began their work.
The biggest feature in the 1925
figures is the fact that the number
of children of school age in the city
of Kenosha has increased $50 during
the past year-an increase which dou-
bles the average yearly increase of
other years in the immediate past.
The census shows that there are in
Kenosha today 1890 persons between
the ages of four and nineteen. An
arbitrary figure universally accepted
as the standard in computing the en-
tire population of a city based on
the school census statistics brings
the population of Kenosha to 51,720.
Eighth Ward Largest.
A comparison of census figures TAX
en- in other years shows the phenom-
email increase in the school population
in Kenosha in recent years. In the
year 1914 the city boosted of 1852
persons between the ages of 4 and 49,.
In 1920 this figure had jumped to
1O,889, and then began the remarkable
jumps which eliminated in the big
gest leap this year. The report of
the census takers shows the following
comparisons since 1921:

where all the world may see. He has
salted the skin and mounted it on a

WILD CREATURES
WILL PERISH SOON
WITHOUT FOOD

Don't forget the small wild crea-
tures who need care during the win
ter season when food is scarce.
Even the sparrow has a right to
live. A thoughtful mother will sug-
gest that her children place crust
of bread where birds can obtain a
meal when hungry.
Food that would be palatable for
the squirrels that inhabit cur trees
should be placed in a conspicuous
place where the little animals will
not fail to see it.
Friends of the little creatures will
find that an almost daily duty is to be
performed in this charitable way, if
the birds and squirrels are 20 be
saved from starving.
1t is barely possible that a small
bird may find seeds sufficient to keep
it from STARVING but there is no as
surance for their lives if people for
get them.
This is an occupation for children
and will teach them to love the wild
creatures of the forest and prairie.
And Boys, Don't Forget the Dogs.
1t isn't a pleasant thing for any
creature to starve to death. If they
become i menace there are better
ways of putting an end to them.

LIVE TOPICS

4 Nd TO W y

An interesting fact came to ligat
through perusing the files Of an an
eient Champaign county newspaper
found in the Cunningham department
of the Urbana Library.
A short article told of the for
nation Of a union of plasterers in
Champaign and Urbana in 1865. This
was probably the first Labor organ
ization ever formed in the city II
any Of our readers knows Of a prior
organization The Review will be glad
to publish the facts in a subsequent
issue.
The plasterers in 1865 apparently
did not make much Roadway in estab-
fishing a higher wage scale, but gave
more attention to the quality and
amount of material to be used in COM
pleting a job.
Details Of the organization were
not explained at length. And unless
some OF the old timers come to our
rescue the achievements Of the organ
ization will probably never be brought
to light, as the ancient files Of Ur-
bana and Champaign newspapers are
silent on the question of Organized
Labor.
