this year far outdistances that of
previous years. On the second day
of school there were 200 enrolled in
the senior high school and 46 in the
junior high school, which makes the
total number of high school students
246. In 1911 after the first week S
attendance the enrolment was 175;
in 1912, FOG; in 1918, 100; in1914,

enrolled. There are also many stu
dents, especially senior boys, who
have not returned from work, so
