School Enrolment
 Betters Last Year
Grammar Registration Shows Decided Increase;
 ~ High Schools Reveal Slight Decrease

Enrolment figures at local gram- mar schools show a marked de- crease this year. according to the report read at yesterdays meeting of the board of education. The high school registration shows a slight decrease over last year.
 The following report, read by Superintendent of Schools Thomas J. Condon, shows how local schools are listed for enrolment this year.
 Elementary schools have enrolled 11,359 children as compared with Il, 846 one year ago or a decrease of 487. The figures of 1886 represented 8 decrease of 428 from the registra- ton of 1935. In other words, during the past two years there has been a drop of 915 in enrolment of grade pupils. This loss is startling and, as see 1t, is due for the most part to the low birth rate. The possibility that the transfers to parochial and private schools might account for it does not hold, as figures for those schools this year also show decline from last years

The boys of st. Joseph's School
presented "Tom Playfair" in the
st. Cecilia's Hall, at the Convent,
last night. The book portrays the
typical characters at a boarding
school for small boys conducted
by the Jesuit Fathers. Tom Play
fair, a stubborn, little mischief
maker is finally induced by a
kind and patient teacher to use
his stubborn vivacious disposition
for good rather than for evil pur-
poses.
The other characters were
varied including Percy Wynne,
the only boy in a family of ten.
Percy is more like a girl in his
rhannerisms than a boy, but I'M
der the tutelage of his school
mate he soon becomes a real boy.
The author of the book tom

taught boys for many years and
