Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 88, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 April 1913 — Enumeration of School Children Being Taken. [ARTICLE]

Enumeration of School Children Being Taken.

The annual enumeration of all children under school age is being taken. Much more work is added to that of the enumerators by a recently enacted law in the state of Indiana, this law requiring that in addition to the enumeration of persons between six and twenty-one years, the' same enumerators must at the same time enumerate all who have served in the army or v riavy of the United States during the Mexican war, the Civil war or the Spanish war, and all who have served one or more enlistments in the United States army or the navy or the National Guard. The usual difficulties will be met in the work of enumeration and it is a most important thing that the men secure the names of every individual between the ages of six and twenty-one years. On the total of the count will depend the amount the city is to receive from the state school fund. The per capita allowance for children of school age is S4O, and it 100 parents fail to give the enumerator the name of one of their children it would mean a loss of $4,000.
