SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Facilities TO be SOreIy Tax
ed The Coming Term.
Outlook Good For 76O
Children This
Term

The outlook now is that the regis
tration of children for the public
school term beginning one week from
next Monday will exceed that of the
previous year, and that the school fac
ilities will be sorely taxed to accom-
modate the children.
Supt. Miller is now registering the
children. Three hundred had been reg
istered up to yesterday, considerably
in excess of the number to the same
time last year. Last year there was a
total of 1872 children enrolled. This
year it would not be surprising if the
number ran up to 760.
Of course arrangements will be
made to handle the additional num-
ber of children in some fashion. More
than ever the coming fall and winter
is it likely to be forced upon the pub
lie mind that the new building now
provided for was not arranged for bit
too soon.
The Board of Education has not
taken any further steps toward secur-
ing lot for the new building, but it is
not improbable that at the next meet
ing this will be attended to and plans
definitely adopted for the new build
ing 1t will not be possible to utilize
the new building during this school
year so there is no necessity for any
precipitate haste in the matter now.
By next fall, though, the city will be
in position to take care of all it's
children without crowding them and
there will be no complaint on that
score for some years to come, at least,
