STATE SCHOOL CENSUS
Official
Figures Give New Ha
23,438 School Children.
The result of the state school enu
meration for 1907 was announced to
the board of education last night, so
far as New Haven is concerned. This
is the census on which the state ap
portions to each town its school allow
ance for the year, $2.25 bc-ing con
tributed out of the state treasury for
each child enrolled. The enumera
tion shows 20,799 in public schools,
which is an Increase of 828 over last
year, and 2,639 in private schools, an
increase of 70, making 23,438 in school
in this district and 4,367 not in school,
but between the ages of four and six
teen years.
Of those not attending school 1,801
are under the age "of five and 1,530 are
between fourteen and sixteen. As
fourteen is the limit of compulsory at
tendance, this accounts largely for the
total at this age out of school. Be
tween seven and fourteen, the compul
sory ages, there are only 183 reported
out of school.
Of the total children between four
and sixteen there are reported employ
ed at labor 1,205.

As a token of the appreciation iji
which he is held by the members of
the New Haven Teachers' Jeague, that

presentation.
About 5 06 persons were present to
hear the address on "Positives and

appreciating the good points of the
children and encouraging them as the
positive method in contrast with the

Although it wti the third meeting
helfl in connection with the looking
oyer of the papers handed in by the
applicants in the retfnt examinations
for the police aaptaincy, the civil ser
vice board failed to make any an
nouncement of the results last night.
The reaeoh stated wag thit, while the
marking of the mental examinations
had been completed by the board, the
physical examinations were still to be
held and until these had been taken
and the results given to the board it
would be impossible to announc who
were eligible for appointments as cap
tains, and until that time no announce
ments would be made. Not even the
number, of men who passoil the men
tal ,tets would be given out last night,
It is hoped that the results of the
physical examinations will be reported
to the board at another meeting, which
has been set for next Monday evening.
The physical tests, which are given by
Dr., Beaver, of the Yale gymnasium,
have not been appointed yet, but cards
will be sent out probably to-tlay to
the men who passed the mental tests
idling them to appear for physical ex
amination. The results will be an
nounced Monday evening, if the report
is received from t' e physical examina
tion by that tlm
The date of January 2 has been set
for the next examination, which will
be for the position of captains. The
time limit for application to take that
exam has not been set yet.
The board also received the opinion
which was asked from the corporation
counsel In regard to the book which
Anthony Carroll accuses Clerk Dono
van of Illegally taking from Controller
Rawe's office about a month ago. The
6pinlon upheld" the action of Captain
Dohovnn in taking the book from the
controller's office, and held that the
book, while under the charter the reo
ords it contained had to be posted In
the controller's office for six months,
did nt in ,any way become the prop
erty of the controller, but were sim
ply there under the civil service board
for the use of the public. It appears
that the book had become dilapidated

throughout the city which was voted to
go into effect next September in ac
cordance with a resolution of Mr, Mo

go into operation at all. When the
finance committee of the board of ed
ucation went over the amount of money
appropriated for the purpose of ap
portioning1 it for the needs of the de
partment, which Is the function of that
committee, it diflopvered that the
amount of $5,948 which was asked later
by the board for the proposed Increase
had been shaved down to $3,918, cutting
out $2,000 of the projected sum for the
increase. In figuring the Increase the
education board had asked for the sum
of $5,91S, figuring that it could save
$6,000 in the course of the yer from
sundry savings in the salary aocount.
The board of finance plaoed the saving
at $8,000 which aeoounts for the de
crease of the account $2,000. The coml
mittee states tht it placed the saving1
as high as possible and that $8,009 is
out of the question. A vote was taken
by the board which will be sent to the

The police are busily engaged on the
task of finding the culpables, but so
far no results have been achieved so
far as arrests are concerned.
