TERRE HAUTE'S CLAIM

Too Much Increase of School Children, Declares a Man from Fort Wayne. ABB THOSE FIGURES PADDED? Mayor of Indianapolis Ban a Labor Demonstration—lnjustice to , , Dr. Crouse—ltems. • i~ '■ Indianapolis, May 16.—J. N. Study, superintendent of the Fort Wayne schools, said that -within a few days a formal protest would be filed with Fassctt A. Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, charging that the school enumeration of Terre Haute, just sent into the office of the state superintendent is grossly excessive, showing. as it does, a gain of 28 per cent Cotton said that the Terre Haute enumeration would he investigated. ~- ■ ■ -v-j-' -

Terre Haute’s enumeration tills year, ns reported to the state superintendent’s office, Is IV 039; that of Fort Wayne is 16,034. This places Terre Haute ahead. Declares the Returns Ridiculous. “Tiie Terre Haute enumeration returns are ridiculous,” said Study. “Aecording to these figures, Terre Haute show's a gain of 3,931 children of school age over the year 1906. This Is a gain of about 28 per-cent. Indianapolis, with a population of 225,000 people, only showed a gafii of 3,710 in this last year, and Terre Haute heat that about 200, according to the returns made. In my opinion there lias been padding of the enumeration rolls, and I shall make a formal protest to Cotton.’’ Study protested verbally at the meeting of the state board.
