THE CHRONICLE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1914

School began Monday with a total enrollment of 335.  This is twelve less than at the opening last year, but this is explained by the fact that there were several Mexican families in the city a year ago while the sewer was being built, and many of them enrolled their children at the opening of school.  Several families, in which there were a number of children, also moved away during the summer.  A number of children were unable to enroll at the start of school but will come later so that the attendance figures will be swelled considerably a little later on.  The enrollment in the high school is 111, the highest it has ever been.  Three years ago when Supt. Voris took charge of the local school the enrollment was 90.  Last year it was 101.  The prospects look exceptionally bright for a successful school year.
