 Enrolment

Facing the most crowded conditions that they have ever had to deal with, Bir- mingham school officials are preparing to open the public schools of the city tomor- row morning with an approximate enroll ment of 35,O00 children and teachers.

 In the meanwhile the school officials have evolved the work, study, play sys- tenn whereby at least one-third more pupils may be accommodated In every school Under this system one-third of the pupils are out of the building. one third are studying and the other third re- citing all of the time.
 The results of the teachers instrute conducted last week at the Central High School were most satisfactory, Assistant Superintendent c. B. Glenn announced yesterday. The teachers were given a pre-view of the work which they are ex- pected to cover during the coming year

 Several mines. which practically closed down Friday and Saturday following the acts of violence at Corona and Majestic will resume.
 The production for the first four days of the week was at the rate of about 260, 600 tons a week, which was above the production of the week prior to the strike call or that of the first week of the call Fridays production fell from 44,000 tons to about S2,ooo and Saturdays production was also admitted to be small.
 The excitement and intense feeling fol- lowing the killing of Leon Adler. at Co., roma on Thursday. and the killing of one negro and wounding of two others at Majestic mines on Friday were such that little effort was made to operate in these two sections.

At any rate reports of violence commenced petering out from the time it became known that the military was on the scene and that more were coming. Many marchings by strikers and sympa- thizers through the mining camps sched- uled for this Sunday are reported as having been abandoned.
