 The schools opened for the fall term on Tuesday and the increase in attend ance is about the same as in former years in all but Strong school. The failure of Strong school to show the usual increase is caused by the trans fer of pupils passing into the higher grades from Ezekiel Cheever and Ferry street schools to Lowell school instead of to Strong. The opening of the new HiIIhouse grammar school relieved the crowded Lowell school. which school is now able to accommodate pupils from the Fair Haven schools in its district. About sixty pupils went over to Lowell school Tuesday, who under the old con- ditions would have gone'to Strong. The attendance at the various Fair Haven schools yesterday were as follows:
 Strong school S3s, Lloyd street school 13S, Lenox street school B, Quinnipiac street school IS. Woolsey street school 4S1, Morris Cove school 30, Woodward avenue school PA, Ezekiel Cheever school 300, Ferry street school 364.
