BRUNSWICK SCHOOLS OPEN
WITH RECORD ATTENDANCE
RUSH so GREAT AT PURVlS
WERE TRANSFERRED.

With a crowded condition existing
in practically all grades, especially
At the Puryis school, the public
schools Of Brunswick were opened
yesterday with the largest attendance
in their history. While figures are
not yet obtainable as to the total
number, Superintendent Ballard stat
ed to News reporter last night that
the increase would be between 80 and
IS, which is an indication of quite a
healthy growth in the citys popula-
ton during the past year
While some Of the grades at the
Glynn High School are crowded, the
greatest rush was experienced at the
Puryis school in New Town, and. in
order to accommodate all the chill
dren, it was necessary to transfer two
grades from that building to the
Glynn school on Mansfield street. In
that way, however, Superintendent
Ballard stated that he would be in
position to seat all of the children.
Yesterday, Of course, was devoted
only to the usual routine of the first
day the children were assigned to
their respective grades, book lists
were provided and yesterday after
noon they were all busy purchasing
their books and will report for active
work this morning
All of the private schools of the
city were also opened yesterday, and
they showed an increase in atten-
dance It is believed that when all
figures are in and the total number
of children attending school are
counted, that the increase of last
years attendance will be easily 100,
which is one Of the very best indica-
TOMS Of the growth Brunswick has
experienced during the past twelve
months.

tion dividing the corporations prop
erty among new companies, by court
order, as VS. done in American To-

present defendant by combining the

THESE PESTS COULD HAVE BEEN

HEALTH OFFICER HAD
BEEN HEEDED.

Nights are being made intolerable
and rest or sleep is impossible in
some parts OF the city on account Of
mosquitoes, a condition that could
very easily have been avoided had
the warning and advice of the health
officer been followed. Facts of tnIs
kind are not pleasant to advertise
about community. but to overcome
them and see that the same condition
Of affairs does not occur again, pub
licity must be given the subject.
Had the larvae of the mosquito at
the "wiggletail' stage of development
been destroyed there would be no
mosquitoes here now. While it would
have been impossible for the health
department to do or have done all
the work necessary in such cam
paign it should be the duty Of every
good citizen to do his part. Every
yard that contains bushes or weeds
should be cleaned up and all rain bar
