Eastman Schools

EASTMAN, Ga, Sept. 21-The en-
rollment in the Eastman public
schools, which opened little more
than week ago with an attendance
of s413s has steadily increased each
day until there now are practically
500 children on the rolls of the
schools.
The attendance is such as to tax
the facilities of the schools to the
it will be imperative for the school
authorities to provide additional room
for the constantly increasing attend
ance. In some of the classrooms all
Of the available desk space has been
taken up, and a number of grades
will be unable to care for any addi-
tional pupils. 1t is likely that it
will be necessary also to employ
more teachers for the grades which
are becoming overcroWded.
One cause for the big increase in
attendance is the unusually large
number of students who have been
enrolled from the country districts
OF the county, many parents really
ing the superior advantages offered
by the city schools and sending in
their children, instead of having them
attend schools in the rural sections
nearer their homes. as has been the
case heretofore.
