ENUMERATION OF SCHOOL CHILDREN STAP.T2 SATURDAY

The annual school enumeration begins " Saturday, April 1 10, and ends Friday, April 30. The taking of this enumeration is a task dreaded by the school 11 "officials, because year- after year It has resolved Itself Into a 20-day battle of wjts between enumerators and parents. " ' " " " The explanation of this Is that many parents think the enumeration a scheme to force all children Into the schools i Such is not' the case,- however, for the school city only wishes to pet money due it from the state. ; '' The "enumeration differs from ' the federal census mainly in that It deals wjth the same people each year as Individuals. What" the school - enumerator wants is the name of each member of the family who is of school age from six to 21 years. It Is for each " of he persons of school age that the city receives $5 annually from the state. The money Is pro-rated to the var

ious school cities from the state school tax and the Interest on the state school fund. "l-ady of the House" Is Miffed. The members of some families are all employed, and so the enumerator has little else to do but sit on the doorstep and wait till the 6 o'clock whistle blows. When father and mother arrive home they may tell all about their children and again they may not. - Some folks just can't be fooled Into letting their children have an educatoln, and so the poor enumerator has only to leave In chagrin If his duplicity Is discovered and he Is checkmated. " Heretofore enumerators have reported some difficulty In homes where domestic laboils employed. "Why indeed no," says the lady of the house. "I most certainly shall not tell you who I employ here. It surely Is no one's business. The idea!" Now if the enumerator has learned that Sally Rafferty has moved from her alley and is employed up north somewhere he doesn't like to have the ' "lady of the house" so distant and determined. His job is to account for every person of school age who lived in his district last year, as well as to .account for all who have moved in since last year. He is ready to handle the job, but he does wish the law would grant him "search and seizure" authority.

OLD WASHTUB AS BATH, HAS VANISHED FROM CITY REPORT England's order of the bath hasn't anything oh Richmond. Sanitary engineers estimate that 40 per cent' of the "homes 1 have modern - bathrooms and fixtures. Ninety per cent have sewers and running water. - This has all come about during the last 25 years, however. Before that, after the dishes were washed on Saturday 1 night,: mother and the girls would retire tofhe kitchen, whence would ' come squeals -' and sundry splashings. ' Boys Didn't Like It Later Dad and the boys would get

their chance, only the squeals were changed to howls, for the' boys could stay fox hours in the 'ol' swimming hole," yet when Dad poured cold water down their backs to rinse the suds, "they would set up howls of woe, start to "shimmie" " and to gnash through chattering teeth. - Also In the days of yore, Mother would call" the household for breakfast." After partially dressing,- the boys would make a rush for the; kitchen sink or else the bench outside the back door and proceed to dg dlrt from their ears: ' - " ' - Today the "wash" is taken n bathrooms, with hot' and cold water, and natures. 4 Despite the large number of mod

ern bathrooms fn Richmond, The kind you read about, oV see in the movies, do not exist here. Such luxuries as splashing- around - beneath" a "-shower of rose water or plunging Into a Roman path the kind you use-a ladder or" steps to get out of there isn't any such 'thing here." ' - The high cost of keeping clean, however, holds good here. Bathroom fixtures have made a general 125 per cent increase during the last two years. - Also,-plumbers receive-double the wages of two years ago. BELIUM. RUN AT PROFITA profit of more than ten million francs ' has been ' realized," ' over and above expenses, by the Belgian gov-

eminent -Jn-1819. - The budget-estimated the expenditures and made'tai returns to fit. At the end of the year, however it wa found that the'aetaal returns were higher than was needed. Economists say that It shows an unusual 'recovery from the 'devastation
