 At the opening of the Bristol pub lie schools yesterday the largest reg istration in the history of local edu- cational system was recorded Two hundred and siNty-four persons en- gagged in the care of the public school system as janitora, transpor- tation service men. clerical a-sist- ants, teachers and principals asauEl- cd their duties with the opening Of classes
 Both the senior and freshman high schools had additional teach CTS at the opening to care for th,. anticipated registration increase. The East Bristol school has an ad- ditonal eighth grade, this being the first year that a second eighth grade has become a necessity at the instl- tuition. The increased number Of pupils at the Edgewood school has required the acquisition of another teacher. A large" attendance than had been planned for registered .ll the senior and freshman high schools.
 This unparalleled increase seemed to local school authorities to be due to the state board of educations strict interpretation of the rules which will force many children to attend school because of inability to procure employment. Until last year it was common practice fer many graduates of grammar schools to work instead of proceeding into the higher institution. All pupils of eighth grades either have been or are being checked up by the state board, which will send them back to school unless they have legitimate excuses or working certificates.
