N eplte of the lure of continued sun
shiny weather, which kept hundreds
of children at the seashore and in
the hopyards of the Upper Valley, the
Monday morning: parade which marks
the opening of the school year poured
through the streets of Portland In vol
ume practically as large as in the pre
vious year. Last year the early rain
drove children back to the city early
and on the opening day the registra
tion was near its maximum. This
year, however, each day of the first
week has brought new additions to
the registration. On the second day
the enrollment had passed, the record
of 1912, and by Friday morning it
was well up beyond the 25,000 mark.
It is probable that there will be more
than 26,000 pupils enrolled by tomor
row evening, which will represent a
growth In attendance of more than
thousand within the past year. .
Although many new schools have
drawn pupils away from older dis
tricts, the registration in the older
established schools is uniformly larg
er this year than ever before, indicat
ing a substantial growth in the school
population in the last 12 months.
Innovations, such as the fresh air
classes at the Irvtngton School, the
Winter garden work at Woodlawn, the
DroDosed school savings banks at
Woodlawn and the half-day sessions
that have been inaugurated in some
Dlaces. have attracted, in many cases.
an increase in attendance. In the Wood
lawn district, especially. Superintend
ent Alderman received Information of
families that had moved their residence
to the district bo that their children
might have the advantage of the fine
school garden , work there.
