Nfjro Children Kxceed Whites in School
One of ill" uiost interesting stutisti
?ul In the annual report of the
slite superintendent of education shows
by comities the percentage of enrolled
pipils in regular attendance. The rank
of the HJ counties in this respect is a
fine index to prevailing 4ehool condi
tions. .1. IT. Swearingen, state superin
totidaiit of Education said.
Attention has already been called to
the gratifying increase of 2i!.y per cent
hi school enrollment. The number of
white pupils increased .'15.007 or 18.7 jK?r
cent. The number of negro pupils in
creased 53,335 or 20.8 (per cent. In
view of this heavy enrollment a falling
attendance might have been anticipated:
H,ut t^p compulsory education law lins
operated not only to bring children into
school, hill to keep them in the class
ro mi. according to fho report. The
parentage of pupils from hoth races
,111(1 hotli sexo.s in regular attendance
was 09.34. The whites show 67.34 and
the negroes 70.00. Thus the negroes ex
coed the whites .by 2.0f> per cent. This
may he due partly to tire short term of
t hi* negro schools. '"In 1? much larger,
measure {t in due to the ??agcrness and
?'urutstueMs of to keep th?ir
children lu schjol," s?a,v.s Mr. H wearing
