Figures on school attendance in Wash
ington after tomorrow will rear their
heads in solemn protest against the
theory that the race is dying out IT
is estimated the number of pupils en-
rolled will approximate $4,000. or nearly
q thousand more than year ago.
The schools viii open Monday, not
alone with largely increased enroll
ment, but under excellent conditions
generally. The only drawback is that
some OF the new buildings are not yet
completed. Within the next two months.
however, several new buildings Will be
opened, and when these are in use the
school room available will be less eramp
ed than ii has been before in recent
years
The only new building that Will be
open Monday is the Edmonds. at Eighth
and d Streets northeast. The board
has accepted the new stanton building
at Good Hope, and in two weeks it will
be occupied. Within the next two
months the Abby Simmons building. the
Brookland school, the addition 10 the
-Cranch school. and the new Fort Reno
building will be in use.
