he stated, and that the schools my
provide adequate facilities for all
children as soon as 1t Is possible.
Alth pugh the school enrolment
is not great deal higher than in
the past for the lower grades, the
increased number OF seventh and
eighth grade students registered
has caused the expansion OF those
classes into six sections instead Of
FIVE as in the past year, necessi-
tating use OF more classroom in
the high school.
Figures showing enrolment OF
pupils in the schools for the hrst
day are Central Grades, 456: Pros
pect, School. 323 Woodruff School,
306. and Harriet School, 245. Only
in the case OF Central School was
the number smaller than that OF
last year. as seven less pupils
than this year were registered last
year at the close of the week. II
is expected that the enrolment Will
be raised as pupils continue to
register.
Enrolment in the Ypsilanti High
School has reached approximately
1000 pupils, according TO est!mate'
made today. Individual figures for
each grade are: Twelfth. 1885, elev-
enth. $50: tenth. 1871; ninth. 1872;
eighth, 1856. and seventh, 1872. Pu.
pills are continuing TO come In
rapidly, and a higher enrolment is
expected.
