SCHOOL CENSUS
IN D. C.. BEING
TAKEN
Statistics Will Be Made Avail
able This Month,
1t Is Thought

The school census taken for the
first time TO determine the number
of children of school age in the
District will be completed in the
major portion of Washington before
the end of September, it was an
nounced today by Miss Fay L.
Bentley, direc~~ of the department
Of school attendance and work per
mits
1t will = require several more
months to complete the entire work
enumerating all residents between
the ages of three and eighteen
years.
When the census has been COM
pleted, it will be followed by com
pilation of the data obtained. II is
probable that statistical workers of
the public schools will assemble the
information obtained by the enumer-
atOrs in order to apply it as a basis
for various conclusions concerning
school needs of the Capital.
Residents of Washington have
given complete cooperation to the
census enumeratoTs who have been
going from house to house seeking
information, Miss Bentley declared.
This. she pointed out, has made pos
sIble the speeding up of the census
work begun during the vacation
period.
Sixteen persons have been IN.
gagged in the census work. Ele zen
of this number were regularly en-
plOyed as attendance officers while
five were employed especially for
census work. These persons will
compose staff that will con
tinuously check on the compliance
with the compulsory school at.
tendance law.
Information gathered in the cen
sus will be made available for the
use of private and parochiaI schools
as we'll as the public schools. All
educational institutions will be re
quired to make reports on the at
tendance of children Of school age
Miss Bentley pointed out that he
function of the attendance depart
ment is TO see that all children are
attending some school.

THE DREAMER
They call him the dreamer whose
life is misspent.
Who never achieved the success
that he should,
But his bright, sunny smile and his
heart of content
Has helped this old world more than
other things could.
He was first to console any sorrow
And first to applaud any effort
The poor under dog was the one
And he lived to do good. to be
merry and smile.
Now he faces old age and he keeps
Contented to serve and to stick to
And somehow know when the
dreamer Is gone "a
That his dreams will come true III q
kingdom quite bright.
