Classes Packed
In Alexandra
BY PAUL HOPE

Alexandria will be able to
avoid double sessions in its
schools again this year but some
of its elementary schools will be
extremely overcrowded.
City schools will open on Sep
TENDER 10 with an estimated en-
rollment Of nearly 10000. The
enrolment at the end of the
1866 session was $4,000.
For the FIRST time in many
years, George Washington High
School will be operating at nor
NAL capacity. The city'S new 50
million Hammond High School
in the annexed area will open
and relieve the load at George
Washington.
Last year George Washington
High had an enrolment of more
than 1000 in building designed
for about 1000.
High school enrolment, includ-
ing the eighth grade, will jump
about 500 this year. Last year
the enrolment was about 5000.
The overcrowding will be
more acute in the colored ele-
mentary schools.
Both of the city's colored ele-
mentary schools will have more
students than they can properly
handle and the overflow will be
housed elsewhere.
Glasses at both schools are ex-
pected to be large. Some of
them numbered more than 40
last year, and prospects are
about the same this year. Alex
andria'S colored school popula-
ton is expected to be around
1000 this year.
Plans are in the works for a
new building to replace the
Lyles-Crouch School and for an
eight-room addition at Charles
Houston, the two colored schools.
Supt. T. c. Williams said that
the indignation issue will have no
effect on the school boards
building plans for colored
schools. He said the classrooms
will be needed in those sections
of the city whether schools are
segregated or integrated.
Parker-Gray High School for
colored students will be below
capacity this year, Mr.. Williams
said.

Parochial schools in Washing
ton and in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, as well
as northern Virginia, already are
operating under migration poll
cies.

increased high school enroll
ment, a total of 51.400. While
this is less than the number
scheduled for completion. sew
eral thousand rooms are lost
each year through obsolescence
or disaster.
Needs are based on an as
sumption of 30 pupils per ele-
mentary classroom and Is per
high school classroom.

On the brighter side will be
the opening of two new schools,
a comparatively low pupil
teacher ratio. and fine text
books in all grades.
| A record enrolment of 22,475,
representing a five per cent in
Grease over the past year. is
Expected.
On the racial aspect. Alex

Albert v. Bryan has ordered an
end to segregation in the ele-
mentary schools by next Janu-
