The Bureau of Statistics, with the help of the reports received
from the sel1001 inspectors, makes a yearly statement concerning children
between the ages oi 5 and 18 years, This census can be made with fair
aecuraey in the sections of the Province where the population is limited,
but is more difficuIt in towns. In order to avoid the laborious house
to house ceneus, another method is employed whieh gives' satisfaeêory
l'€suU:::. for the requirementa of these p~.rticulal staêistics. The b9.'3i.3 of
ca1culation a,dopted by certain towns is generally the school enrolmen~
and the proportion of children of seho)l age reporêed by the munici~
pa1itie~, According toêhis method of investigation the number of
children of school age W8S tixed at 702,561 in 1925.
