OVER-CROWDING IN SCHOOLS EXPLAINED BY CENSUS FACTS While a numbttft of Illinois counties face a major problem of school overcrowding from the much-publicized booming birth rate, and some have already been hit by it, the facts indicate that this is not a problem common to bll counties in the stsute and that many counties in fact may expect a continued decline in enrollments. These facts were issued by the Taxpayers Federation of Illinois. County-by-county analysis also indicates that there is a substantial trend of movement of families with children is a major factor that must be considered in determining school building needs, county-by-county. For example, the population of DuPage county increased from 103,480 at the 1940 census to 154,599 at the 1950 census, an increase of 49.4 percent. Enrollments in DuPage elementary and high schools increased from 20,- 590 to 28,235 during the same period, an increase of 37.1 percent. Births in DuPage county increased from 789 in 1934 to 1,- 136 in 1937, to 1,999 in 1944. Even more significant, indicating a substantial trend of movement of families into DuPage county, while there were 789 births in 1934, there were 1,676 first grade enrollments six years later; with 1,136 born in 1937, there were 1,749 first grade enrollments six years later; with 1,999 births in 1944 there were 2,770 first gradeenrollments in first grade six years later in the 1950-51 school year: This movement into DuPage was also indicated by the fact that the third grade enrollment in 1945-46 of 1,651 children had increased to an enrollment of 1,930 when these children reached eighth grade in 1950-51. On the other hand, although Cook county had a population increase of 11 percent school enrollments declined 7 percent during the ten years. While the number of births in Cook county increased from 54,936 in 1934 to 72,678 in 1944, an increase of 17,742, enrollments six years after birth increased only 7,983 from 45.568 in 1940-41 to 53,551 Only forty-six counties showed a population increase between 1940 and 1950, while fifty-six counties declined in population. Only thirty-four counties reflected increased enrollments between the school years 1940-41 and 1950-51, while sixty-eight declined in enrollment. From 1937 to 1944, thfe'birth rati in over one-fourth of the counties dropped. In a number of comities that had an increase in population and an increase in births, the first grade enrollments con- The word pastor originally, Si8tently ran below births six meant shepherd. I years earlier, and there was a insubstantial drop in enrollment from grade to grade, indicating the possibility of movement of families with children out of those counties. In McHenry county, the population changed 35.8 percent from 37,311 to 50,656 between 1940 and 1950, according to census figures. Total enrollments in McHenry county public schools changed from 6.391 in the school year 1940-41 to 6,533 in 1944-45 to 8,792 in 1950-51. There were 386 born in this county in 1934, 511 in 1937, 726 in 1944. Compared to the 386 born in 1934, first grade enrollments six years later in 1940-41 were 535. There were 511 born in 1937, 636 enrolled in first grade six years later. Compared to 726 births in 1944, there were 879 enrolled in first grade in the school year 1950- 51. Following these first grade enrollments from year to yew* through the elementary schools, compared to the 535 enrollment in first grade in 1940-41, there were 512 in third grade in 1942- 43 and 496 in eighth grade in 1947-48; of the 636 in first grade in 1943-44,there were 604 in third grade in 1945-46 and 571 in eighth grade in 1950-51. The above facts are only indications as to the nature of the school building program in McHenry county. On the basis of those facts, it appears that the school building problem in McHenry county is a serious one. The percent of change in population in this county from 1940 to 1950 is third highest of the 102 counties in Illinois. GOOM W v BIRTH RECORD Htlnols babies set new records in 1952. The number of births attained an all-time hi^h, and the infant death rate declined to a new low. Provisional tabulations reported to Govenor William G. Stratton by Dr. Roland R. Cross, director of the state Department of Pufclic Health, show 201,827 births, surpassing the previotis record of 197,925 set in 1951. There were 5,034 deaths of babies under ohe year of age in 1952, establishing the all-time low infant death rate of 24.9 deaths per one thousand live births. A total of 92,708 deaths among persons of all age* was reported, indicating that the record low rate of 10.5 deaths per one thousand inhabitants, established .in 1951, wa» equaled last year. , By Marie Schaetigen With the Lenten season just around the corner, we women are beginning to wonder how to get through so many more meatless days. Meat is such an important part of our daily diet that it. is no little trick to conjure up a meal to suit the taste of all the members of a family without resorting to the use of meat. Rice, macaroni products, fish and cheese all help and this column '1 try to help, too, by offering ^ome menus built around meatless main dishes. The following is the first of such offerings. .• Spanish 1 lb. rice 2 tbsp. butter " ' ' ' '1 large onioll^",.• '.--J - 1 green pepper (or 1 tsp. |>epper flakes) v 1 large can tomatoes ,' Salt and pepper to taste . Wash rice several times in large quantity of water. Place in large kettle with enough water to come about 2 inches above rice. Cook until done. It it seems to be starchy, rinse with hot water. While rice is cooking, prepare sauce. Saute thinly sliced onion and pepper in butter for five minutes. Add tomatoes and one cup water and simmer about Vj hour. When rice, is ready, pour tomato sauce over it and season to taste. Reheat over medium heat, stirring gently and frequently. If you prefer rice moist, increase" amount of tomato used by adding a small can of tomatoes. Or reserve part of the boiled rice to be used with sugar and cream as a breakfast cereal. Cooked or canned shrimp make an ideal accompaniment to this rice dish. If you are serving this with meat, crisp bacon or pork sausage go well with it. For luncheon, neither- Ash nor meat is necessary. ~ ~ Heart Campaign In Fifth Year The 1953 Heart Fund campaign opened Feb. 1 1n Illinois, with a goal of 1195,000 tt> be used for research, education, and comhiunity service programs. Wayne A. Johnston, president of the Illinois Central Railroad, is serving as 1953 campaign chairman. On the eve of the opening of the campaign. Dr. V. Thomas Austin of Urbana, president of the Illinois Heart Association, pointed out that this is a turning point in the history of the organization. "In its fifth year as a national voluntary health agency," Dr. Austin said, "the Heart association's slogan, 'Help Your Heart Fund Help Your Heart", has special significance for the increasing numbers of Illinois citizens who are being reached by our program. "The future of that program, and its expansion to all the sec* tions of the state which we .serve, depends in large part on the success of" our 1953 Heart Fund -campaign. From our county chapters, and from the areas where willing volunteers are assisting us with our cafnpaign, come encouraging reports about the ever^inoreasing interest In our efforts. The problem of heart disease, and its death toll among people of all ages, is one which rouses the interest of every thinking man and woman. We need the assistance of all of them to continue and to expand the work of the Illinois Heart association." - Dr. Austin's sentiments were repeated by other leaders in the fight against the disease which last year was responsible for 21,- 669 deaths in the area served by the Illinois Heart association. This area includes all of the state except Cook and DuPage counties, and the southern half of Lake. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels cause one-half of all Illinois deaths every year, and disable thousands, affecting the state's productive manpower, as well as personal income, - LEFT ACCIDENT SCENE Richard Koss was fined *25 in court last Monday, charged with leaving the scene of an accident in McHenry Jan. 4.
