Schools Crowded What to do with 517 pupils in the public schools is a problem school au­ thorities are facing. The enrollment this year is much greater than in for­ mer years. The high ■school enroll­ ment is 244, about thirty-five more than last year. A few o f the classes are so large they must recite in the auditorium. Classes o f that size in the high school are.not fo r the best interest of the pupils in that personal contact by the teacher and daily re­ cital are not possible. The board can do nothing more than employ another teacher now that the state pays the bill. We believe the state would ap­ prove such action in justice to the pu­ pils. CEDAR CUFF CHAPTER . D, A. R.
