SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
STILL INCREASING
Enrolment in Alma Schools Has
Now Passed the Mark That
Was Set a Year Ago.

True 10 expectations when the Al
ma schools opened last week, the en-
rollment is on the Increase in both
the high school and in the grades,
and even now new attendance marks
have been created, which without a
question the coming months will
boost to still larger figures.
Tuesday morning. it was stated
that the attendance in high school
had now passed the high mark Of a
year ago, although week ago it was
still considerably below the mark of
last year. The splendid increase Of
the week was even more than antic-
ipated, and there is no question but
WHAT if it should continue during the
coming months at anywhere near the
same proportion that il increased
during the past week, Alma will face
the necessity Of constructing an adj.
dition TO the nigh school, which is
even now assuming a very crowded
and contested condition.
The attendance in the various
grades is showing a remarkable in
crease also, and the rooms in all OF
the buildings are crowded practically
to capacity and this condition leaves
no question but that a new ward
school must come within the coming
year, as here is no indication that
there will be any drop of in the at
tendance. Rather is there every ex-
pectation that it will continue to
grow. the growth depending upon
new arrivals in Alma during the year
and the entering class that begins
school in the middle of the school

evening, when it became known that
Henry II. Soule, one of the most
promising and progressive business
men Of the city, had been killed in
an automobile accident near Merrill;
as it was not until he had passed on,
that Alma was brought to a full real

great business ability, had been to
the community.
Mr.. Soule had been to Saginaw
earlier in the day, and was on his
way home when the accident took
place. He was accompanied by Jo-
