an enrollment of 554 on October

This indicates that by

pass tho 1924 enrollment by a
good figure before October, ac
cording to Superintendent Haya.
He expects 40 or .50 names to be
added to tho rolls before that date,
including the high school.
“Enrollment this year indicates
a healthy condition,” Superintend
ent Hays said yesterday, 11 Every-
thing has started off satisfac-
torily. ”
Two now teachers were added to
tho staff this year, one in tho
grades and one for the high school.
One now course, commercial, was
added.
This course is already
proving popular and ' 48 students
enrolled in it the initial day. The
teachers’ training course will rot
be given this year, as this was
automatically dropped when the
state decided to combine these
courses in the additional stnto nor-
