ENROLMENT INCREASING
IN MOSCOW SCHOOLS

The enrolment in the Moscow pub
lie schools, which has been lower for
the past two terms than for several
years previous, a condition which ex-
listed in Spokane, and other Inland
Empire schools. owing to many fam
lilies moving to the coast to take adj
vantage of the demand for labor and
the high wages incident to war condi-
tons, is now building up again, Su-
rerintendent Rich informs The Star
Mirror. This is taken to indicate that
former residents of Moscow are re-
turning from the coast cities.
The total enrolment now is some
thing more than 1000, and there is
every reason to believe that by the
opening Of school next fall, the enroll
ment will be up to that of former
years.
