asked the President of the Board of Education the num- ber of children in average attendance at the elementary schools in the administrative county of Durham up to date; and the number of children who are receiving free milk and solid meals?

:I have no exact figures of the number of children attending elementary schools in Durham County, but recent returns show that there are approximately 108,000. In March, 1940, 27,761 children received free milk, of whom 178 also received free solid meals.
