Grammar School Grant Di-
plomas to l03 Boys and
Girls.

va IL
Of the graduates from the grammar
schools, SO are girls and 43 are boys.
The Lakeside school is sending the
largest class 10 the high school, there
being "a girls and 20 boys in the
class; the Sixth avenue school is
sending up 10 girls and 10 boys; and
the First ward school is sending II
girls and boys.
Reports from each of these three
schools indicate that approximately
80 per cent. Of these boys and girls
will enter the high school in the fall,
at the opening of the new term
which means that there will be SO or
more pupils added to the high school
rolls, from which 40 names were re-
moved by the graduation of the senior
class last night. Inasmuch as the
high school building and it's auxiliary.
the portable room, are already very
badly crowded. it is difficult to figure
out where these additional pupils
will be housed, and the members of
the school board are expected to de-
eide on some plans during the sum
mer vacation period.
Pupils More Numerous.
Each of the grammar schools re-
ports that there is an increase in the
number of pupils being sent to the
high school, and that this icnrease is
not only continued but large as we'll.
That this increase may confidently
be expected to continue into the flu
ture, is indicated by the fact that
there are larger numbers of pupils in
each of the schools, who are being
advanced into the higher grammar
grades. In the next two or three
years, it is confidently believed, re-
cords will be broken regularly, in
the matter of promotions to the high
schools, and in the matter also OF
pupils taking the high school course
after such promotion, thus virtually
making it almost a certainty that a
permanent annex to the high school
must be built within very short
time.
The pupils who have now been pro-
NOTED to the high school, from each
of the grammar schools or the city,
are as follows:
