EXCEEDS HIGHEST
MARX OF 1920 BY {
MORE THAN 1900
Officials Puzzled by Early
Registration for -
This Term.
OPEN NEW CLASSES
Crowded Condition Compels
Board to Adopt Double
Shift System.

Enrolment in the public schools
of Washington at the beginning of
the second week exceeds the highest
mark reached last year by nearly
1900, 1t was announced yesterday
by Assistant Superintendent stephen
E kramer, who said additional
pupils are expected before Novem-
ber. Steps are being taken to open
new classes. and an examination for
new teachers will be announced
shertly.
The enrolment peak" last year
was reached on December IL when
6l.S94 pupils of all classes and
grades were entered. Monday
morning SASS were registered.
usually Nhe high mark is reached
between November Is and December
10, after which the number slowly
drops. The cause of the heavy en-
rollment this early in the school
year Is a matter of concern to the
authorities, who are already "dou-
bling up" two halliday classes IN
the same room in order to cope with
the situation.
Increase In Past Years.
Past records reveal the fact that
for many years there has been a
normal increase in the District
schools of between 1900 and 1900
pupils each year.
Explanations for the early enroll
ment this fall include the convening
of Congress this month, with the
probability that all Congressional
Ichlldren are. now enrolled; shorter
vacations than in previous years,
and reports that seats would not be
plentiful. In spite of the crowded
conditions, officials do not believe
the peak has yet been reached.
High school Enrolment.
On September 81 of last year there
'were 5S.943 pupils enrolled. COM
Ipared to Sass registered yesterday
In the high schools there are 1O.703
enrolled, where one year ago at the
same time the total was 91S6. In
the grade schools, the heaviest in
|Creases appear in the northwest
section, where the First Division
schools now number 5.232 pupils
compared with 1889 last year. and
II ,240 last year.
