The school epumeration’s final figures for this year have been re- ported by Mr. ard Mrs. Geory Griftith who have had the work in hand for the past seven years. Per- sonal tax enumeration shows a large increase over former years with the school enumeraton showing show- ing up about the same with a slight increase over last year. The personal tax enumeration fig- nres show that 2030 residents of this town are suseptible to the personal tax, an increase over former years of 400 to 600, the previous totals equal- ling 1400 to 1600. The increase in building in this town is the reason laid to the figures as Berlin has been the scene of intensive building throughout the past year. The school enumeration shows loss of an increase over former fig- ures, the grand total being 1540, an increase of only 25 over 1925's enumeration. The division of the records shows the following result In public schools of the town, 1130 in private schools, 47; in no schools, 3. The cnumeration covers only those children between the ages of 3 and 16, not Including those who were 16 before September 1, 1926 This system, therefore, does not include many of the pupils who are enrolled with various surrounding high schools in neighboring towns such as New Britain, Meriden and Middletown and for which the town }s paying tuition. The figure for children tending any schools is thought large compared with other figures. These children are employed or are need- ed at their homes and are required to obtain a certificate releasing them from school obligations. Beriin has always been the home of a great | many of these unattached children who are not able to take advantage ot the superior school system that this town offers its residents and it is thought that a drive for the duction of the number of childr wonld result in a portion of the belng released from home or em- ployment duties to attend school.
