 SCHOOLS GROWS
Reports Already Made Show Increase Over Last Year
 of More Than 100.

The enrolment at the various schools of the city reporting up tc yesterday afternoon was 2621. This is a practica\ increase of more than 100 over the enrolment on the sec ond day last year. These figures however, do not show the full attend ance 2t all the schools, as the com plete enrolment has not yet been sent in by the principals. A number ot pupils have also entered since the numbers were c c'mpiled.
 The large enrolment at the Sixth avenue school made it necessary to use both the portable school rooms built during tEe vacation term. About eighty pupils were accommodated in these two rooms.
 Despite the fact that more than forty pupils graduated from the High school at the last term, the enroll ment this year outnumbers by far that Of any previous year. All the classes have been organized and the school year was began in earnest at 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
