Plan to abolish annual school census revisited
A Texas committee led by Dr. Beck proposes ending the $335,000 annual school census after noting 1933 figures show 1 571 378 scholastic age children but only about 1 000 000 public enrollments plus private school attendees. They suggest eliminating unauthorized names could fund a $20 per capita payment with no extra cost, citing waste and fraud in the current system. The group criticizes counties that enroll only bonafide students and lists members Senator Grady Woodruff and others meeting in San Antonio.
