SCHOOL GAINS
CONTINUE

The unlocked for and unpre.
cedented increase in the rate of en-.
roilment in the local public schools
continued through yesterday, the
second day Of school. with s.152
pupils added. to bring the total to
65.7s1.
A proportionate increase, which
school authorities find hard to ae.
count for, is also discernible In the
fact that the first days enrolment
showed an increase Of 1,4O5 over
the first day last year, while yes
terday's enrolment was 1900 over
last years second day enrolment.
In the high schools, Central,
where the overflow has already
brought the double shift, had 2,605
registered last evening, only 81 over
the second day Of last year. East.
ern, however, showed the greatest
gain with 1883 registered, or 1874
more than the number registered
for the first two days of last year.
The enrolment at Western High
School was 1919, or 10 greater
than that of the second day last
year.
At Eastern High School, the
building considered Of ample size
to take care OF normal increases,
the gain has exceeded the capacity
Of 1900 students.
The registration in the normal
schools. affected by the lengthen-
ing the course from two to three
years, continues to fall behind pre-
vious enrollments. There were 112
less students enrolled at the Wil-
son and Miner schools yesterday
than for the same period last year,
while the first days registration
was Ill less than the previous
years.

BATTLE To GET

By InternatIonaI News servIee


A battle between Detroit and
Cleveland for the honor Of playing
host to the Republican, national con.
vention in 1928 was anticipated to-
day by party leaders, assembling here
in advance of the coming session of
Congress.
While a dozen cities were re.
ported seeking the Democratic con.
yention, Republican spokesman de-
clared the field of applicants for their
quadrennial gathering was confined
thus far to the two lake cities long
rivals in many other respects.
There were indications though
that Chicago and Kansas City might
get into the race later, though not
with as much hope of success as
either Detroit or Cleveland.
The Cleveland drive, where the
Republicans met in 1924, is being
led by Senator Simeon ID. Tess Rl
of Ohio. He predicted. the conven-

At the same time Senator George
w. Moses (R) Of New Hampshire,
who recently Endorsed Herbert
Hoover for the Presidential nomina-
ton, declared the Republicans would
meet in Detroit.
The San Francisco drive was
abandoned, other leaders said, as
soon as President Coolidge an
