Glass Cause of the
Loss.

the Plymouth Public School opened
Wednesday morning, and the High
School department began the new
school year Thursday morning, The
total enrolment in the eight grades
is 526, or an increase of 2 over last
year, which was 524. The enrolment
of scholars in the High School, show
a loss of IL over the initial enroll
ment in 1909. The total number of
pupils in High School this year, so
far enrolled, is 1863 The initial en-
rollment last year was 179. The fall
ing off this year in High School, is
due to the fact that the Freshman
class, or students just entering High
School from the grades, is much
smaller, than the Freshman class in
1909. The number of first year STU
dents enrolling this year is SO, while
last year, 90 Freshmen started the
school year. However the Freshman
class will be augmented in the mid
die of the school year, by midyear
promotions. In this way, an addi-
ton of twenty-five students to the
High School, is expected at the be-
ginning of the second semester
shortly after Christmas. The maxi
mum attendance in High School last
year was 1872, while the average at
tendance was 1925. The average
attendance in the grades last year
was 1905.
Membership of Glasses.
The membership of the four class
es in High School this year, starts as
follows: Freshmen SO, Sophcmores
AZ, Juniors "a, Seniors %, Special
Students 6. Total 1853. The Fresh
man class as stated above, started
last year with &c, and it will be seen
that only AZ Sophomores enrolled
this year, making a loss of 81 stu
dents to that class in one year. Of
course, the greatest loss to any class
in High School, is Immediately after
the Freshman year.

Innovations in School.
A remarkable fact in connection
with the enrolment statistics this
year, is that one-half of the Fresh
man class is composed of students |
who live outside the school corpora
ton of Plymouth. Of the SO Fresh
men, q reside in Plymouth, sand 26 |
reside outside of the city. Never
before in the history of the High |
School has the proportion of out-of-
town students in any one class been
so high.
Two innovations in High School
will be started at once. The course
this year, will be the introduction of
drawing and sewing. The sewing
class, composed of the girls will be
inder the instruction of Miss Aura

grade, who is graduate from do
nestle science, and is proficient in
hat line of teaching. The Drawing
will be in charge of Miss Mcguire.

.ause the special room to be used
