Ml-tf Interesting; Results Shown by a Census of the Pupils. THE NATIONALITIES CONSIDERED Children of American Birth and Parentage, Those of the Same Birth, But of Foreign Parentage, and Children of Foreign Birth Classified. People who hike an interest in tho local public schools will Ilnd the table published below of considerable importance. Tho 11k ures were gleaned and tabulated by .Superin tendent M. P. Whltaker-and Secretary W. T. Trrziso after a discussion ono day as to the number of children of tho different nationalties in attendance nt tho respective schools. Secretary Trezisa prepared the necessary blanks for the consul and Superin tendent Whltakcr distributed them among the teachers in tho schools, Tho census was very diligently and carefully conducted and the flffurcs may bo relied upon as being as near correct as it is pos sible to get theui. They are not based solely upon the statements or pupils, but upon information through them from tho parents to teachers. The children f Ameri can birth and parentage aro tho greatest in number by a great majority, which is con trary to the supposition of many people. They form over 10 per cent, of tho total school attendance. As to tho children of foreign parentagotho Irish rank tiit, tho Poll's second, English third and Lithuanian fourth, und of the children of foreign birth in nttendanco at the schools tho Lithuanians arc tho greatest in number, the Poles a closo bccond, and the English third. The fact is apparent that the Polish and Lithuanian children are rapidly increasing in nttendanco and with tho constant increase in the population of these two nationalties and Fteady depreciation of most of the others wo may expect tq sco tho former's percentage greatly increased within the next four or live years. Another interesting iact brought out is that tho Hungarian population of the town is not near as large as many people suppose. The census shows but 23 children ot that nationality and parentage in attendance at the schools and assurance is given by a prominent Hungarian that the percentage thus shown is a fair representation of his nationality in tho town. a" 3."
