HIGH SCHOOL
Vacation in the East
Monmouth has been increasing its
I population by leaps and bounds thi v
week.
Yesterday
afternoon the
I total registration at the Normal was
'•87 with more “ a-coming” .
A year
| ago at this time the registration *as
525.
While this is a large number for
the regular term it is comparatively
small when lined up with the at­
tendance at summer school and there
was no difficulty in finding quarters
to accommodate all.
There is room
for more at the various boarding anil
rooming houses, the principal short­
age in Monmouth just now being
small residences and apartments for
families.
Registration at the High school is
also somewhat larger than last yea:.
There are ninety students enrolled
and the prospects are for a total of
one hundred before winter.
As th<*
local school offers no special induce­
ment other than competent instruct­
ors, and charges all students tuition
who are from out o f the district, the
increase at the high school is natur­
ally gratifying.
With the students registered and
finding homes for themselves the so­
cial wheels are starting to turn to
assist all to get acquainted with one
another.
The annual Normal recep­
tion of faculty, students and towns­
people is to be held Saturday even­
ing of this week.
Next week Ftidr.y
evening the Christian church will
hold a reception for Normal students
and Civic club and Commercial club
will unite with the high school far-
ulty and students in a reception on
Saturday evening.
