 The figures of yesterdays attendance show a slight improvement over the figures of last year. though no com parative figures will be given out until the end of the week. The opening at tendance at almost every school Tor this year is above that of last year. the Hunt street School for white chil- dren being. one notable exception.
 More pupils will doubles be entered during the week and the figures Tor the opening day are by no means final. Some of the schools are very crowded and transfers to other schools will be necessary.
 Sayre street holds the doubtful honor of having more pupils than the seat ing capacity of the buildings can ac- coYnmodate, and transfers in this school are a certainty. Capitol Hill and the Heron Street schools are next on the list. with SIS and 315 pupils each.
 The negro schools are very crowded also, the Swayne School having the largest number. 634, while the Day Street School is a clore second with 632 pupils. Cemetery Hill is third with 39O entrances. The figures in these schools show decided improve mlent over last year.
