NEWTON COUNTY
I SCHOOL
♦
0 Gain of Only One Hundred and
0 Thirty-one in School Popula¬
*■ tion of Newton County
t In Past Five Years.
The comparative table given In
Iow shows that there has been a
‘gain of only 181 in the school pop
jUlation school of this coupty since the
census of 1903 Total gair
Jin County Covington, 70. Total gain
i bystem (exclusive of Cov
mgton.) 55. Mansfield and
; born Districts, in the aggregate,
_
show the the greatest gain, 162.
As Mansfield District has been
j cut off from other Districts and es
tablished since the Census of 1908,
« returns of that year are included
jin Newborn data.
♦ The fact that Mansfield District
0 embraces part of the territory for
♦ meny in Gaitcers, partly accounts
I for the decrease in school p 'pula-
1! tion of the latter.
