Due to Military
A check of school figures In
Pierce county Thursday showed
the startling increase in rural en-
rollment. almost entirely in the
military reservation area, at the
same time when city schools show
losses from last years attendance.
Wherein the first month OF this
school year 1882 children were in
county schools, the month ending
Oct. IS, had a total enrolment OF
1880, a gain of 2ls in the month.
October showed an increase of
10 over the same month last
year.
Some OF IL is represented by
entry of pupils who have worked
during the summer. as il usual
in rural districts. Most OF the
increase. though. is believed to
have come from the influx OF
families with the wage earners

from the families of army men.
