Prince Georges Besef
By Lack Of Buses and
Crowding in Schools

Prince Georges County school Of
ficials today are attempting to iron
out two problems which arose with
the opening of school yesterday
transportation difficulties and over
crowded conditions
In Arlington, where schools open
Tuesday, almost 1000 first-graders
registered for the fall term, the
school department announced today.
The figure represents only chill
dren who will enter the system
for the first time, school officials
said. Pupils who attended the first
grade last year will register Mon
day.
More than 400 students were in
the first grade last year, including
those who entered in December and
Marcn. Because of a change from
the trimester to semester system,
however. the only other entry date
this year will be in February.
Enrolment Sets Record.
The Fairlington School. with 1874,
registered more than any other
school on Tuesday.
Both Prince Georges problems are
the result of record enrolment
which. according to County School
Supt. Gardner Shugart, appears to
have exceeded expectations all over
the county,"
Although no statistics are avail
aole yet. it was estimated that more
than 23,400 students-about l.500
more than on opening day last yeal
were present yesterday. Total en-
rollment probably will not be known
until tomorrow, Mr.. Shugart said.
Typical of the complaints received
so far by the County Board of Edu-
cation were those of a group of
parents of the Oakland area, who
protested that county school buses
failed to pick up their children
eithG yesterday or today.
Buses Are Crowded.
According to Mrs. Anna Harman
1904 Marlboro pike, Oakland. the
bus comes from Suitland and picks
up pupils going to the Lyndon Hill
High School. the Maryland Park
High School and the District
Heights School 1t was filled to
capacity both days and no other
came along after it, she said.
Mrs. Harman said her husband
and mothers of the area went to
the school board Offices in upper
Marlboro yesterday and were told
the matter would be looked into"
Mr.. Shugart explained that the
school system was doing all it can
to improve transportation facili-
ties. Admittedly short on school
buses. MI. Shugart said the coun-
ty has orders for eight new one,
including four which were to have
been delivered by the opening Of
school. The county now has about
TO buses
Adjustments Needed.
MI Shugart reported that the
school boards transportation super
visor, John w. Helm, was investi-
eating numerous problems which
arose at the last minute" He said
routes and schedules will have to
be adjusted to fit the requirements,
but added that actual attendance
1gures will be necessary first.
AS for overcrowding. Mr.. Shugart
said that use of double shifts in
some schools may be possible"
some time this year but that none
are planned Immediately. Most
crowded areas are those in Mt.
Rainier, Hyattsville. Bladensburg.
Suitland and District Heights, he
said.
Another problem also may arise
If double shifts are found necessary
