SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
PROBABLY A SLIGHT INCREASE
IN NUMBERS-LABOR,
CAUSE.

Prof. s. It. May said today that
there are about 35 children of school
age in the city, who. under the com
pulsory school law, could be com
PEELED to attend school. who are not
i'm any institution of learning, and
who will be looked up as soon as the
lists can be completed. Just what
measures will be taken is not said,
but it will probably depend on the
kind of work they are engaged in,
and the need of the parents or their
services.
IT was further said that the attend
ance of the city schools, outside of
the high school, would number about
the same as it did last year. His fig
ures are not yet complete as to the
attendance of other schools than the
high school. He gives it as his opin-
ion that the number of pupils at the
somewhat, and those of the Garfield
and Lincoln buildings have increased,
probably making the total attendance
about the same as ii vas last year.
That the whole city attendance is not
increased In the city schools proper
is probably due to the opening of the
model school at the Normal. This
building has greater capacity than
the quarters occupied, and is new and
a comfortable and beautiful building.
Mr.. May gives it as his opinion that
it has taken much of the normal in
crease of attendance.
The attendance of the six grades
of the high school has increased by
only IL pupils. or 1856 this year
there are 164 boys and 1872 girls.
Last year there were ITO boys and
TIA girls. Several of the boys are
not yet in attendance due to the scar.
