PUBLIC SCHOOL OPENS
Fine Enrolment First Week. Many
]. New Pupils Enter Every Day.

The public schools opened Mon
day morning with a good enroll
ment which has increased con-
stantly since the opening day
and which bids fair to pass the
1900 mark next Monday. Last
year the opening week showed
fewer than 900 children. but this
number was increased to about
140O during the year. With an en-
rollment of over HOO in the be-
ginning tits expected that more
than 1900 will be enrolled during
the year.
The school buildings are so
crowded that IA teachers in the
first and second grades are COM
PEELED to teach on the halliday
basis. Every available bit of
space is being utilized. In order
to find quarters for the high
school itwasne;essary to cut the
balcony of the auditorium into
and put a class on each side. ln
addition the ninth grade occupies
fspace on the floor of the chapel
A fine corps of teachers has
been employed, among whom
are some who have been trained
in such institutions as the Uni.
versity of North Carolina, Pea
body College and Columbia Uni
Iyersity. In a later issue we hope
to present a brief statement
which will show the preparation
of the teaching force. It is safs
to say that no better teachers car
be found in any town in ths
state. F~a
