HAMBURG, FEB. .

The dearth OF higher grade schools here
has had curious results. Parents are re-
quired to attend at the beginning of the
term and to place the names of their
children on the register. The schools are
filed to OVERLOOKING, and anxious fathers
take all sorts of measures to secure the
acceptance of their sons.
One man yesterday Went to take his
place at the school door ready to sign the
register at 5 o'clock In the morning. He
had expected to be first on the scene. but
found sixteen other anxious fathers al
ready waiting.
Though only thirteen scholars could be
taken, more than 100 parents applied fol-
permission for their sons to enter, and
assembled outside the door long before
the proper time for making applications.
