SCHOOL ENROLLMENT GROWS.
Gain of 427 pupils Reported by
Superintendent Greenwood.
According to figures given out last night by Superintendent J. M. Greenwood to the board of education, the enrollment of the public schools this year is greater than for the same period in 1908. For the first twenty weeks of school last year there were 31,573 pupils enrolled, and for the corresponding period this year the enrollment has reached 32,000, being a gain of 427 pupils.
It is Superintendent Greenwood's opinion that the end of the term in June will see a total enrollment of over 34,000 pupils, as against 33,198, which was the total enrollment for the last half of the term in 1908.
It was decided by the board of education last night to establish a teacher's training class at Central high school. This class will be formed at the beginning of the next school year and will be a regular course of the school. Definite plans for the course have not been made.
A steel engraving of Daniel S. Twitchell has been given to the board of education by Mrs. Twitchell. The engraving will be hung in the board's chambers at the public library.
