Arlington Census

I should appreciate space to answer
few questions which have come to
the Arlington school administration
concerning the school census now being
completed in the county.
The census was taken primarily for
school purposes, to more accurately
forecast school enrollments by grades
and districts. The group data gathered
is to be made available to the county
planning division, according to ar
rangements made with the county
board. There will be no disclosure to
any one of personal information.
We had no questions as to our gath
er1ng information concerning school-age
boys and girls. since this is necessarily
part OF school census, but we met
some objections when our enumerators
asked for certain other information
Some people wonder why the schools
want to know how many bedrooms
there are in each dwelling. The num-
Der of bedrooms in home has direct
relationship to the number Of children
who are likely to live there. This in
formation is needed to predict future
school enrollmentS. One-bedroom
dwellings, as rule, have fewer chill
dren than homes of three or four bed
rooms, which can accommodate larger
families more comfortably.
Of6cials Of the United States Census
Bureau, who helped plan the Arling-
ton enumeration, strongly urged that
the birth date and occupation of each
adult resident of the county be in
cluded in the census, since these facts
are basic to all general planning. We
accepted their suggestion. Now that

Color Photography
Marian L. Barb.

DR.. Alexander Wedderburn in his
Camera Angles column in The Star of
January 18 makes the unqualified
statement that Color photography as
it now stands today, tends to drag down
the level of any Photographic salon" and
that the relatively unstable color proc
esses cannot be called works of art be-
cause of their lack of permanence."
BY what measure does lack of perma-
nence detract from the artistic merits
Of medium?
Is the Venus de Milo any the less
lovely for the wear and tear of cen
turies? Are the paintings of the old
masters the less beautiful for their
cracking paint and yellowing varnish?
The cave paintings of LaScoux were un-
doubtedly more brilliant many thou
sands Of years ago. but are they not to
be considered outstanding examples of
the cave mans art because of a little
fading and crumbling these many
years.?
After all, most artistic mediums avail
able today are much more enduring
than are mans ideas as to what consti-
GuteS art. Partisan.

And on into the night marched the
parade to end all parades. The parade
which was to last only two and three

I pray that the new administration

badly as they underestimated the time
of the parade.
