Big Registration
 Expected By K. C.

The first week in September has been fixed as the registration period for ex-service men and women en- rolling for free courses in the schools operated under the auspices of the national education committee of the Knights of Columbus.
 For the 1922-23 semester the num- ber of schools operated by the na- tional body of the K. of c. will not be as numerous as that operated last year, the K. of c. free correspondence school supplying the technical training needs of thousands of veterans who would otherwise attend the evening schools. Indications are, however, that there will be an increase in the schools operated by local councils of the Knights, in New York the first ex- pertinent being made of an evening high school by the New York Chapter educational committee.
 It Is expected that between forty and fifty thousand veterans will re- ceive tuition in the K-C evening schools during the coming autumn and winter. The cirriculum in the schools will remain the same as last year, with various sections specializ- ing in subjects that assist the veterans in gaining employment in the dis tricts where they study.
