ENROLMENT ON INCREASE.

- N a. q . -
Notwithstanding the fact that the
work on the new High school build
ing has been seriously delayed, caus-
ing heavy expense to the district
and making it exceedingly difficult for
the High school faculty and students
to do their work, there has been a
marked increase in the enrolment of
students. For number Of years
past the attendance in the High
school and grades had increased
steadily until the building was crowd
ed to its limits. g-.-
AS an evidence of the. increase in
population of Manchester it will be
of interest to note that the increase
in attendance at the High school
and grades has come largely from
the independent district of Manches-
ter, while in former years the in
crease over each proceeding year
has been caused by the students from
the rural districts entering the city

in the minds of those in chrge of
the city schools that quite number
Of pupils from the rural districts
would have entered the High school
for the first semester had the new
building been completed by this time.
~ According to figures given the
Democrat by supt. X R. 1nman the
enrolment in the High school for the
first month Of the present school year
was 1856, while during the correspond
ing month of the proceeding year
the enrolment reached only 172. Dur
ing the first month Of the present
school year 672 were enrolled in the
city schools, which marks an in
crease Of thirty-three over any previ-
GUS year.
With the opening Of the second Sc
mester in January, 1918, the attend
ance in the High school will easily
reach 225.
