STATISTICIAN | JAM BEACH) LIST IN YEAR OF AMy Associated Press) (LLAHASSEE. Fla., August} AWhich cities of Florida had| fe largest proportion of grown to \ their -population in / 19257 Dr. R. M. Harper, local geo-| ‘ grapher and statistician, believes | that hé has located’ nearly all with | over 65 per cent of adults, and| most of those with over 60 ast cent,"Aalthough, he ‘states, the question cannot be finally an- svézed, without-an exhaustive per- | usal of the returns from over a} * tWousand precincts in- the last state census report. , Ageording to Dr. Harper's sta- | tisties on the subject, Palm Beach | led the other cities of the state | with more adults in 1925, with a/| -percentage of 78.5. | Pass-a-Grille was second, with 74.9 per cent, and St. Cloud third, with 73.6 Lynn Haven, Valpar- aiso, Zephyrhills, Miami Beach, Bradenton and St. Petersburg were next in order among the lead- ers. The proportion of adults has an important bearing on educational | — LEGAL NOTIC In addition to that, |° facilities, the statistician points out. Where two-thirds of the pop- ulation is over 21 as in many! cities, he explains, there are two adults or potential taxpayers to every child. Dr. Harper says, the schools ought to be much better equipped than where there are more children than grown persons, as there are | in most rural communittes. “Although the school statistics of Florida. (and probably “most other states) make no distinction between city and country schools,” says the statistician, “it is evident that the former are usually better equipped and better attended, and it is a safe guess that cities with more adults than the average have better schools than the average, and naturally less illiteracy.” The table Dr. Harper prepared’ shows, he says, the per cent of adults in 1925 in the white pop-; ulation of several Florida cities and towns that rank high in that respect. All of those cities listed, he adds, seem to have less than 1 per cent of illiteracy among the whites. Corresponding figures for 1920 given for comparison where possible, says the statistician, but many of the places, he states, were too small in 1920 to be treated separately in the federal census of that year. The third column gives the per cent of illiteracy among the white population over ® years old, in the same cities 1920. Figures. for negroes were not given, but the propor- tion of adults among them was usually a little lower than that for the whites in the same com. munities, and the percentage of literacy always greater, accord- ing to Dr. Harper. Some of the 1925 figures were a little uncertain, the statistician points out, because the calcula- tions were based on precincts, and city boundaries do not always coin- eide with precinct boundaries. The difference, however, he says, is small. In the case of Miami, nevertheless, there are ‘some o‘her uncertainties, which make it im- possible to get the adult percent- ages for 1925, the statistician says.
