school Enollmant ts ar,31l,

Enrolment figures for the public
schools of Martins Ferry showed total
enrolment yesterday Of 2,311. which IS
an increase of SO over the total for the
first day and about rs for the cores
pondtng day last year. or this total
1873 arc enrolled In the grades and 1888
in the high school. Indications are that
tho total one week hence will be less
than last years as q large number enter
cd school during the second week last
year.
Superintendent Walls does not look for
a similar second-week enrolment this
year and for this reason believes that
1878 enrolment will be less than tho
total for 1916. He said last night that
the attendance record of local schools
had not been on the same footing since
tho smallpox scare last winter.
