Grammar School Notes
The basketball season has been
brought to a close with a very cred
table record, Glendale having lost
only three games of the season. A fit
ting closing of the season is being
planned in the form of banquet In the
teachers dining hall, Saturday.
Baseball is in full swing now, with
about four teams out all the time. 1t
is not known yet what the general line
up will be, but there will be a tryout
tomorrow afternoon after school when
the faculty and janitors take the
youngsters on for trimming. The cid
basketball, but whether their reach
will give them the advantage in base
ball Is yet to be determined While it
is not intended to make any racial
distinctions as far as general school
work is concerned, it is felt that a fell
low from the Russian colony or the
Mexican quarter has just as much
right to play on the grammar school
team as any other boy. the school is
planning some baseball games which
might be placed in the international
class, as Russians. Mexicans and Amer
leans will be pitted against each 9TH
err on the diamond, to say nothing of
the other ga.ees put on by the differ
ent classes. Boys and girls this year
seem to be taking greater interest In
athletic work. and as a result condi-
tons are more wholesome in the class
room, both as to discipline and in
struction. or the 1924 pupils who
have been in the school so far this
year there have been very few fistic
combats and what two or three there
have been have not been of serious
consequence 1t is gratifying to the
teachers and all who have visited the
schools during intermission time to see
how Fundamentally and cheerfuily the
youngsters play together.
The report for the first five months
has been made. and given herewith
are items which will be of interest
to the general public. The total num-
Der enrolled for the month of Sep
TENDER, 1913. was 766; the total num-
Der enrolled September, 1920, was zoos,
or an increase of PAP. The total en-
rollment of the school for the first
five months of the school year 1919
1920 was 1000. The total enrolment
for the first five months of the pres
ent school year was 1864. (by total
enrolment is meant the total number
of pupils who have been in the school
for any length of time during that
school year, Average daily attendance
for the best six months Of 191S-'19
was 537. The average daily attend
ance of last year was 1855. The aver,
age daily attendance for the first five
months of the present year is ola, or
an increase of IFS. Perhaps the most
definite information as to the growth
of the school may be had from the to-
tai enrolment In 191S-'19 the total
number enrolled was 1874; in 1920,
1890, and 1854 In 1920-'21, or an in
crease in the enrolment of the school
in two years of $50, or almost double.
The average daily attendance this
year has been relatively low as COM
pared with the total enrolment. This
can be explained very easily when one
considers the condition of the valley.
because where one pupil was excused
last year, four are excused this year.
There were times during the cotton
picking season that as many as $50
pupils were excused from three days
TO three weeks, but it was felt that 1t
was mighty hard proposition to
force the children into school when
their services were necessary to earn
bread for the family. The attendance
| is expected to be much better from
now on.
Parents should do everything in their
power to have their children in school
every day, and above all they should

| the part of a great many parents, and
| especially those who live within half a
| dozen blocks of school, to permit their
| children to be late almost every ses-
sion of school.
| The contractor is rushing the new
| buildings as fast as possible. Some
| people, judging from their remarks
seem to feel that all the buildings

ed. In that respect those people may
be informed that five classes at pres
