NO SCHOOL ROOM.
The terribly over-crowded condition
our public schools becomes more'ap-
parent every day, and still the trustees
sit around and do nothing. Comment
ing on the bad state of affairs the Star
eays: 1.-THE fact WAS noticed yesterday
that the opening day OF the public
schools found the various rooms very
much crowded. The whole truth was
not told. however, for after the item
was written pupils continued to come in
spd ing. The Eish sohoo srn Is uTh espsosliS sT
or6Uded, although in several other de-
partments there are more pupils than
seats. The total number who had ap-
piled for admission up to noon yesterday
and had been assigned to classes was
1906, as against 1861 on the opening day
OF last year. This number will greatly
increase up to January or February,
when the high-water mark in attend
ance is generally reached. From these
figures it will be seen what sort of
problem our school authorities have to
solve in providing accommodations for
the pupils who are focking in.
"The 1906 pupils registered yesterdsy
are distributed as follows: High school,
1870; Wilson grammar. 292; Lincoln, 41O;
Garfield, 204; Washington, 254; Grant,
66; total, 1906"
