School Registration
 Shows Increase

The apparent decrease in the school registration has been made up, Acting Superintendent of Schools E. Everett registration in the grammar schools at the close of school, Friday, was 21,445. One year ago, at the close Of permanent organization week, the school registration was 21,297. The shortage of 405 that was apparent last week has been made up.
 srWe have passed the registration of last year by 148,'' said MT. Cortright. During the past week $50 pupils have registered in the schools. The total registration in the High schools of the city Is 3,2S3. This is 314 more than last years registration. Every September we expect normal in crease of between 400 and 500 in the school population over last years registration. I believe that the $50 increase last week indicates that there is 8 drift of population back to the city. All the schools of the city are now completely organized"
