Extra-Curricula Students.

Post graduate students will be ban
ned from the Western and Roosevelt
High Schools this year because OF con-
gestion in those buildings, DR.. Stephen
E. Kramer, first assistant superlntend-
ent in charge of high schools, an
nounced today.
Last year approximately 260 boys
and girls who had been graduated by
the Washington public high schools
enrolled for further study when they
found it impossible to continue their
education at college or to get jobs.
With enrolment then already at a
high peak, the accommodation OF the
postgraduate presented an acute
problem. This year, DR.. Kramer said,
the postgraduate problem is still more
serious because of the increase of reg
ular undergraduate students. Al
though no count has been made OF the
post-graduates, indications are that
approximately the same number as
last year will seek enrolment.
Western High School now is on q
double shift to care for its regular
students. Roosevelt likewise Is jam
med. Some graduates are being en-
rolled in Central, others at Eastern,
and efforts were launched today to
accommodate a group at Mckinley
