SUMMER SCHOOL
1000 Enroll At Eastern and

Monday

There was an eager rush OF new
pupils Monday 10 the Cass Techni-
cal and Eastern high schools, 10
take the desks OF those students
who so gaily left The schooErooms
last week for the summer vacation.
About 1000 were enrolled In the
Eastern and about TO in the Cass,
with 10 OF these in the eighth
grade. Summer school Will be held
also in the elementary grades IN
Northwestern shigh. Nordstrum high.
Condor Junior and Capron schools.
and il Is estimated that the total
enrolment will exceed $500.
The curricula In the Eastern and
the Cass are the same except that
In the Eastern there are special
classes In home gardening. and
cooking. and. In the Cass. in sew
ing The subjects include English
Literature. algebra. grammar. trigo-
nometry, physics, history. srchitec-
tural drawing. mechanical drawing,
cabinet making. wood carving. pat
tern making. machine shop work.
bookkeeping, cost accounting, type
writing, shorthand. printing, pen
manship and arithmetic.
In both schools the pupils en-
rolled are older, on the average,
than the pupils attending in the reg
ular session, many young men and
young women in their twenties
seeming 10 be anxious 10 supple
ment their previous school days
with study along special lines. The
summer school work gives pupil
in the jdnior grades credit for a
whole TERMS work, and in the senior
for a half-term.
Almost every foreign race which
Detroit harbors within her environs
is represented in the school attend

occupation. There is lively inter

classes on the part of both boys and
girls, while the girls cooking classes
have a large enrolment q
Because OF the added years OF the
pupils. perhaps, there is greater
seriousness 10 summer school pupils
than TO the average school child
