Attention was-called to the fact in
last, weeks issue of the Review- that
the month of March is the time for
the scholastic census to be taken.
This is an important census, as it
means much to each school district
for everytime a scholastic is enrolled
it amounts to .?17.50 for that parti-
cular district.
The census is being taken not only
in each Independent district, but in
all common scrool districts as well
in the county. County Supt. B. F.
Hicks is anxious that care be taken in
scholastic enumeration for it stands
in our hands to not miss any in the
county.
The census enumerator will want
birth dates and ages of all the.chil-
dren who will be six years -before thej
filst of September, 1931, and those
who will not be 18, before that date.
Even though;-one is married-and
not reached the age of 18, or ^ will
not reach that age by Sept. 1, is en-
titled to enroll as a scholastic and
draw $17.50 for tip school district
in which they reside.

a temperature of 21 degress, during
the last week-end cold spell and the
first of the week. While the ther-
mometer did not register as low, per-

winter, this was the severest spell
