In view of the crowded condi- tion of the entire school, parents are urged to withhold entering their children until the September term, when it is hoped larger facilities will make it possible to accommodate all applicants for enrolment.
 Mr. Womack said this small num- Der can be received at the school now, and children to be entered should be brought there Monday morning. If the weather intereferes with enroll ment, parents are asked to phone the superintendent so that seats can be saved for those whom they desire to enter.
