There seems little possibility that
the number of Texas scholasti c will
show a marked increase any time in
the near future. Some persons still
ding to the opinion, however, that
Texa ’ population eventually will
reach 12,000,000. If that should
happen, the scholastic papulation
naturally would be considerably
larger than at present.
In 1930, this state’s population
was 5,824,725. The United States
Bureau of Census estimated it -in-
rreased to 0,172,000 by July 1.
