LARGEST SCHOOL ENROLMENT

With 1887 enrolled in the Owosso
schools today and more to be enroll
ed, it is evident that all records of
attendance are to be broken by con-
siderable margin. In the high school
all records were broken last year by
an enrolment of $50. Thus far, with
many foreign students attending, the
enrolment this year is 365.
Figures given for enrolment by
grades by Superintendent Longman
today show that some of the grades
have more pupils than the teacher
can handle to advantage. Thirty live
to the grade is ordinarily enough if
the teacher is to do full justice to all
her charges. In some of the grades
the number exceeds So
There is condition of congestion in
the high school and the need of an
other teacher there already has been
emphasized. In the other schools of
the city as the enrolment list shows,
the enrolment has been well equaliz-
ed, but some further transfers will
have to be made. In the Central
school there were 8066 enrolled today;
at the Emerson, 1872; at the Washing-
ton,. 32S; at the Mryant, 281; and at
the Lincoln, 256.
