mands which an enlarged school
population will make. 1t is esti-
mated that at least 5000 more chill
dren will apply for school ENROLL
ment this year than were admitted
last year.
The total building operations
during tn e summer have added
only forty school rooms in which
to place the 5000 additional pupils.
With this burden added to an over
taxed system last year. officials
have been forced to the expedient of
double-shift classes, part-time
classes. and more portable schools.
While tomorrow's enrolment. 1t
Is expected, will be unusually heavy.
school officials say that the peak of
registration will not be reached
until the latter part of October.
Records show that a large number
of children are always late in reg
istering. From October until the
end of the school year there Is a
gradual decline in the school popu-
lation.
Because of the Importance OF
beginning school work on time, OFF,
cials are anxious that every child
who can possibly do so register
with the opening of school tomor-
row morning. 1t is pointed out that
accommodations will be more ade-
auate for the pupils who enroll
early.
