Indications are that a new school

ance is taxing the seating capacity of

ninety pupils of school age. OF these,
sixty have enrolled. This enrolment
Is a record breaker for any year

was thirty, but has increased to sixty,

This may be due to the fact that

new desks have been installed and

grounds are flooded. Water stands
about several inches deep around the

This causes damp feet among the pu-
