CENSUS ENUMERATION , BURI INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT By census enumeration is meant the number of children or minors between ages of five and twenty-one years. Under the lav; persons between these ages are.said to be of school age. The census of such minors is now taken every other year by the secretary of the school board. There is a direct relationship between enumeration and the finan- ces of the school since the Interest on the permanent school fund and the principal of the temporary school fund is distributed on the basis of the enumeration within the several school corporations of the state or county. Of minor importance i3 the fact that the compulsory library funds are determined on the basis of the enumeration, since a sum of 15 is set aside for each child listed in the school census. Care must be used in interpreting census figures since they include persons who may have gone completely through high school as well as some others who may not yet have started to school. Persons are carried on the census rolls on the basis of chronological age and not on the basis of progress in the schools CENSUS ENUMERATION 1907 - 1933
