Inc Tribune investigation further
shows that out Of the twenty-eight

giving their students full instruction.
and these seven are among the smallest
high schools in the list. The Hylan
admins stration has not buff u single

The direct result Of this failure to

were utilized for class purposes. In
some of the older schools the condi-

registration will have reached the as
founding figure of 926,Ss1 for all the
day schools.
Commencing tomorrow The Tribune
