VIII Have Large Attendance.
When asked yesterday by The Viz
ginian reporter what he thought the
attendance at the city schools this
year would be. DR.. Chandler said!
That is a difficult question to an
swer OF course. there will be large
increase In the enrolment of the pri-
mary grades, hut so many boys and
girls have gone to work to take the
places of those vacated by older peo-
pie, substituting for men on military
duty. that to make even an approx
innate estimate now is impossible, We
are eXpectant, however, OF a larger
attendance than last year
DIR. Chandler stated that the at
tendance last year at the white
schools, both day and night. was a.
900. The coiored school attendance
was 1,000. OF the $4,000 students.
there were rs 900 emf oiled during the
day time and 5000 at night. Owing
to Richmond's increased population
during the past three months there
will. In all probability, be more pupi;s
enrolled than during 1915. Many
students will have to be transferred
owing to so many families having
changed their places of residence on
September /.
Teachers to Get Raise.
Amidst the on-rushing tide OF
work the teachers are keeping close
tab on the city fathers. The resolu-
ton. introduced in the board of al
dermen by Alderman Morgan Mills
providing a 10 per cent increase in
the salaries of all city employees, in

finance committee of the city council
approved the resolution, and so has
the city council. The resolution comes
up for final consideration and pas
