The Family University Race

The Smiths and Browns have been having a contest as to which family should send the most students to the University. This year the Browns came out ahead 6ending 24 students. But it was a close contest, as the Smiths got 22 stndents in the Uuiversity. There is a feeling arnong the Smiths that they are really ahead for they lay claim to 1 Smits, 1 Schmidt and 1 Schmitt. If this claim were allowed, it would bring their total np to 25, placing them just one ahead of their rivals. For third place in the University atteudauce there are three families which were tied. But the group is a good ways behind the Browns and Smiths. Bach of the three families has 13 students in attendance. The three families are Millcr, Thompson and Williams. The Harris family is not far behind boasting 12 students. They have a dozen like the other three families but not a baker's dozen. The Jones famly is entirely out of the race showing up with only 5 students, while there are 9 Jacksons, 8 Newtoas, 10 Clarks, 7 Bakers, 7 Hills and 8 Cooks. Which famly will come out ahead next year?
