Problem For

High School Adds
l3S Pupils

Yp.iland Public Schools are
filled almost to capacity. it was an.
nounced today by Supt. E. II.
Chapelle. as the results Of We'd
nesday's registration were made
known
In the Ypsilanti High School the
enrolment is 1904, an increase
of 15S more than that OF
Septe Der 1871. This enrolment.
the largest in the history OF the
school will prohibit acceptance of
many more pupils. as classes are
extremely crowded now.
Surprise
The enrolment in the city's ele-
mentary schools was a surprise to
school authorities who expected the
change. il any. would be an in.
crease; however, figures showed the
1880 OF this year to be a decrease
OF 30 over the 1852 enrolled in June,
1912. Supt. Chapelle believes the en-
rollment will be greatly increased
however. as new registrations are
coming in every day. By the end OF
next week he believes enrolment
will have greatly increased,
Believing that many who should
be attending school are not. thor
ough check is being made OF all
pupils attending school last year, TO
discover any possible truants. Max

School Board TO take the position
vacated by Miss lnez Graves, who
is unable TO continue as attendance
officer due to other duties.

authorities believe, by the "bunchy"
enrolment. The seventh grade OF
the High School shows a total of
2Si pupils. while other grades aver
age between l2S and PIG. The sixth
grade Of Central Elementary Grades
has an enrolment OF 100 pupils, and
