FULL ENROLMENT
 FIRST DAY SOUGHT School Officials Oppose Absences
 to Permit Harvesting TO MAKE CAREFUL CHECK
Injured Boys in Unchanged Condi- tion-Suit Follows Auto Accident Church Notices - Showalters Guests of Honor-Bcrlin Briefs.

The yearly clash between the call of the school bell and the call of the wild, or, better, the call of the cultivated field. will be closely watched by school officials in an effort to have pupils enroll in school on the opening day. It is claimed that in the past there has been some trouble with parents and others keeping children out of school for a week or two to help on the farm after school sessions are under way. This year there will be a deter mined effort to have all pupils en- rolled the first day, avoiding the changing of seating plans and the encouragement of rooms after they are once organized.
 Officials state that careful checkup of the enrolment will be made and all pupils will be ac- counted for as soon as possible aft CT the opening of the fall session. Schools in the town open Septem- Der and promise to bring out one of the largest enrollments eXper- fenced in the town. In the Ken sington Junior High school there will be about 40 pupils in addition to the number enrolled there last year. Other schools expect larger enrollments than last term.
 This is due in part to the fact that more pupils are realizing the importance of higher education, while parents are also urging their children to go through school.
