communication from the Schuykill Ia
crosse team, in which the management of
the organization expresses desire to be
represented in the carnival lacrosse
games. It happens that the Toronto

for games in Minneapolis during the
carnival, is going to meet the Schuykill

County Superintendent Lewis is be-
ginning to receive returns on the enroll
ment at the county schools during the
winter, and the indications are for an
increase of 800 or 1000 in the school
population of this county outside of
Minneapolis and the separate school
districts, at st. Louis Park and Medicine
Lake. Within the last two months two
new districts have been formed, one near
Excelsior and the other in Plymouth
Town. According to the law the old
districts must still have school popula-
ton of thirty-ive. The county superin-
tendent finds that there is general in
crease in population in the rural dis
tricts and that many people from the CT
ties are moving to small garden tracts
and farms. In this way the growth is
partially accounted for. The county
schools will all be closed before the mid
die of June and the returns will probably
be in by that time. There are u schools
in sessi IN at present in the county.
