''It is vitally important that all the
pupils be at scnool on the first day, y
said Superintendent of Schools W. L.
r. Haven, to Chronicle reporter
yesterday. Many children do not
realize the Importance of the first
day of the school year and that is the
reason make special mention of it.
The schools here are getting bet
ter year after year and also are in
creasing in size and Importance.
Last year the enrolment was /, 445
pupils which is fifty more than the
proceeding year. This year presume
the enrolment will be increased over
that of last year. 1t has grown grad
ually and regularly and there is no
reason to doubt but that it will have
an increase this year.
There is one peculiar thing in con-
nection with the schools of this city
and that is that although the school
census of the city this year shows
fewer children here between the ages
of and Is years than five years ago
the enrolment will be larger. The
number of children in the city of
school age has grown steadily less
but the attendance has steadily in
creased.
'.There are no particular changes
in any of the buildings. All of them
are about as they were year ago.
The High School has grown to such
an extent, however, that it was found
necessary to increase the number of
recitation rooms. This will be done
by cutting off two rooms from the
chapel. That will not, however, in
terfere with the size of the chapel as
the rooms will be built with folding
doors which can be opened in the
morning and then closed when needed
for recitations
II anticipate very good year $
work. We have some new teachers
and there have been some changes
among those who have been in the
school for several years past. All are
enthusiastic in the work and the
result shOuld he very satisfactory -
