Tentative consideration Of o list Of
candidates for the eight full professors
to be appointed to the faculties of the
Wilson and Miner Teachers Colleges

tons personnel committee in executive

positions in the Wilson Teachers Col
lege are out-of-town educators, while
many Of the applicants for positions in
the Miner College already are In the
District school system.

that tentative plans are being laid for

mel officer of the Police Department,
who directed the work Of the police cen
sus of 1925. That census showed that
the population was 472,062. The Of
fetal 1880 count, announced Saturday,
showed 4s5,716. The police census.
taken in every year ending with IS"
always shows o slightly higher figure
than would be expected from the Gen.
sus Bureau counts, he says. The pre-
vious Census Bureau enumeration in
1920 showed 437,571 inhabitants. In
other words the town in the i've years
grew by 34,481. In order to have STEP
ped over 100000 the town would have
been compelled to show an increase In
