if the students work as hard as they
did for that game and every game, the

The comparative enrolment, give1
herewith, of the public schools TO
| 1911-12 is an illustration of the growth
which has been taking place in TIT
schools of Wausau for several years
past. The report shows an increas,
of one hundred and forty-six pupils
The increased number last year TO,
| the first month was about one hun
dred pupils. In the last seven year,
it has been necessary to add twenty
three teachers to supply the ever. in
creasing number of children. This i
substantial evidence of the stead,
and healthy growth of the city ant
should be matter of pride to ou
citizens. 1t also serves as a yer!
simple explanation of the increasing
cost of the schools. The increased
number of days of attendance as com
pared with the corresponding days O
last year was 4,S8S while the tardi
ness decreased from 49S to 15S. Thi
certainly is matter which should
cause the school authorities to feel ;
just pride in the improvement tina
is being made.
At the meeting of the board recent
" the desirability of transferring al
Eighth B grade from the Washing
ton school to the Lincoln school wa
discussed by the board. The schools
on the East side are becoming 81
crowded that it is necessary to fint
relief through some avenue, eithe
by renting buildings if they can b
obtained, or by transferring children
across the river.
The total enrolment of our school,
during the month of Sept. 1911 ant
| 1912 is as follows: 1911, 1921; 1917
3,437.
