the elementary grades and IA in
the high school.
The first six grades last year
had $50 pupils and this year, 399.
Junior high school enrolment in
1910 was 173, this year, 1872.
Senior high attendance was 1856
last year and 1870, this year.
All grades increased in enroll
ment this year except the tenth

40 pupils each last year and this
year have as each. Senior class
enrolment Is 40 this year, three
