EXCEEDS HIGHEST
MASK OF 1920 BY'
MORE THAN 1,300
Officials Puzzled by Early
Registration for
This Term.
OPEN NEW CLASSES
Crowded Condition Compels
Board to Adopt DoubleShift
System.
I Enrollment in the public schools
I of 'Washington at the beginning of
I the second week exceeds the highest
I mark reached last year by ne?ly
I 1,300, it was announced yesterday
I by Assistant Superintendent Stephen
I E. Kramer, who -said additional
I pupils are expected before NovemI
ber Steps are being taken to open
I new ehUNK and an examination for
I new teachers will be announced
shortly.
m The enrollment "peak" last year
was reached on December 13 when
61,994 pupils of all classes and
I grades were entered. Monday
I morning 62.283 were registered.
I Usually the high mark is reached
I between November 15 and December
15, after which the number slowly
drops. The cause of the heavy en
rollment this early in the school
year is a matter of concern to the
I authorities, who are already "dou
bling up" two half-day classes in
the same room in order to cope with
the situation.
I Iarrpane In P?it Year*. ,
Past records reveal the fact Lhat
for many years there has been a
normal increase in the District
schools of between 1.200 and 1.500
pupils each year.
Explanations for the early enroll
ment this fall include the convening
of Congress this month, with the
probability that all Congressional
children are. now enrolled; shorter
vacations than in previous years,
and reports that seats would not be
plentiful. In spite of the crowded
conditions, officials do not believe
the peak has yet been reached.
I Hlirh School Knrollmrnt.
I On September 27 of last year there
were 58.943 pupils enrolled, com pared
to 62.283 registered yesterday.
In the high schools there are 10.703
lenrolled. where one year ago at th?
same time the total was 9.186. In
the grade schools, the heaviest in creases
appear in the northwest
[>ction. where the First Division
schools now number 5.232 pupils
|compared with 4.9*9 last year, and
the Third DivlsiOB 7.630 as against
7.240 last year.
I Superintendent Ballou yesterday
announced that in order to assist
the press of the city in its publica t'on
of school news, the hoard had
under consideration a plan for collecting
at some convenient center,
possibly the Franklin school, items
of interest from all of the outlying
schools and there making them
lavailahle for the press.
