T ' ; - , ;
' Fifteen- of the 29 grade echools in
. Bridgeport will have classes of from
' 4;wo to'ten rooms on half time for the
' major portion oj this term due to the
great Increase In the number, of pupils
, with " which the new schools uid the
additions to old schools have not kept
pace. Last year eight schools started
' 'the fall term with halt- time sessions
- in many of the cli.sses.
r v The schools that go on half time this

"Wheeler Columbus, Webster, Staples,

' . schools. Every portable building- the
board of education has Trill be called
into use. ' Even with these buildings at
tils disposal Superintendent of Schools
fcnmuel J. Slawson, will not have ade
quate room.
v . The registration was not completed
today and It Is not expected it will be
completed before the end of the week.
y Investigation of conditions by Super
intendent Slawson .discloses' the fact
. , i that to many sections of the city from
6 to . 10 -pupils . are- bsenT from each
a-oom, who are known to be living. In
the neighborhood ' and who -should he
Jn school. "Whether the parents of
v, . these children have been Influenced by
the infantile paralysis scare and are
i keeping their children at home until
the cooler days . come. Is not known,
; ipttiers, itTtfs thought, are waiting to
v Aee whatthelr neighbors wil do. The
'-met that, the applicants for registra-
on increased greatly In all the schools
ma- seems to hear out this theory.
ipt- Slawson said today that he con-
red the registration only 70 per
nt. of what it should be. He does
t expect the full registration can be
d until about Thanksgiving time.

dan, schools had not .been compiled
Vat press hour today. Although on
' j the face of the' figures it appears that
j the registration will foe smaller than
: that of last year Superintendent Slaw
t ..son declared today that such was not
. ihe case and that the board of eduoa
;tion would be hard put to . provide
school faoilitles for the children who
eventually will apply for tuition.'
While at some schools the registra-
tion is below normal, at Longfellow
-tlDpuplls have registered' for whom
y no seats can be provided. At Walters-,
ville school' there are 74 pupils for
, whom no seats are to be had even
. thqugh the ."classes are on half time. .
, In all the schools' many who ap
' peared yesterday t ojr-rgistration were
toW to - come back today. They all
came back and many others' came
' with them so th.at the principals, of
. all schools were kept busyvtoday re
vising the registration figures. ,
. Somerelief from the overcrowding
' Is expected after the attendance for
. the pre-vocatlonal school is adjusted.
There are l,if4 pupils registered at the
- IBgh school as against 1,157 last year.
More are expected. The senior class
. at the. Normal school has 31 members
-And possbily will have 36... There are
48 Junlorsj Last year the classes had
31 seniors and 8 juniors. V
r - , In, new schools and. additions to
,schtpls, 24roms are in preparation.
but Superintendent Slawson does not
expect these additions will adequately
' provide for the situation.
