BIG INCREASE
IN ATTENDANCE
School Enrolment for First Week
Exceeds That of First Week
of Last Year by 200.
PARENTS MAKE PROTEST

With the first week of school over.
the enrolment for that time shows a
total of 1880 for this year. This is an
increase of more than two hundred
over the same period of last year,
when only 1856 were enrolled the first
week.
There was a protest made on
Thursday to Principal Adams, of
School Number One, because some of
the pupils of that school were trans
ferred to the new Decatur Avenue
school for a time. The first day, at
number one, there was an enrolment
of 80 in the first grade. The next day
this enrolment was increased to 80
and necessitated an additional room
somewhere if the pupils were to be
kept on full instead of half time.
School officials arranged a room at
Decatur Avenue, until an adjustment
could be made or another room rented
nearer to number me-, and transferred
a second grade class to Decatur Ave
nue.. Some of the parents immediate
ly registered a strong protest against
having their children sent to Decatur
Avenue. The school officials say it
was either that arrangement or half
time, which also caused parental
kicks last year. The matter will
probably be adjusted in a few days
satisfactorily.
