When seen by a Times-Recorder re-
porter yesterday, superintendent Col

If applications mean anything, thea
the school ought to open with the larg-
est attendance in its history. Although
we have enrolled more new students
Chan ever before, We have already
turned away at least half as many as
we have enrolled. These students have
not been turned away for the reason
that we have not had room, but fol
other reasons.
While We do admit a limited mum
ber of students below the seveati
grade, who do preparatory work, 10

CRUST OF BREAD
STRANGIFD CHILD

Beverly, N. j., Aug 27.-supper for
Walter G. Forgarty's family of three
tonight brought tragedy when their
pretty 2-year-old daughter Rose died
by strangulation, caused by a piece Of
bread crust lodging in her throat. They
were seated around the table when
Rose begged for piece of bread. As
the parents turned to their suppers
they were startled by the child's yio-
lent coughing. Although both father
and mother made heroic efforts to dis
lodge the obstacle, the child expired in
her mothers arms in a few minutes.
Early in the afternoon the child was
saved from strangulation on another
obstruction by the quick action of her
father.
Mrs. Fogarty, who is delicate "a
health is SO prostrated by her little
ones death that physicians have grave
fears for her recovery. Coroner Bisb-

In a frenzy of pain buny sped to
