BIG LOSS IN ENUMERATION.

Total Loss Is 254, Against 317 For The Year 1908. The school enumeration for 1909 in Jasper county shows another big loss, being 254 in the county. While not so large as last year’s loss—which in part was caused from not taking St. Joseph’s College enumeration as had been previously done—yet the loss this year is a heavjr one. Union township shows the greatest loss, and the county superintendent is unable to account for its being so great. Following is the enumeration by townships, showing the totals of 1908 and 1909, with the loss and gain:
