With attendances augmented by! thousands who’in’ normal would find compensatory occupa- | tions, it is estimated that the en-' rollment will reach a breaking grand total of more than} 31,000,000 students, some 28,- 000,000 in the public schools and 3,000,000 in private institutions, The increase over last year’s at-! times record- at. tendance is figured to be between 300,000 and 400,000. Government education officials’ say the brunt of the burden im- posed by increased enrollment will be borne by the high — schools, which already are overcrowded and handicapped by drastic cur-| tailment of facilities. Moreover,' the drought and continued pres: sure of adverse economic condi tions are expected to make 1934-| 1935 the worst year for. the schools. in some sections of the} country. t Improvement Forecast They believe, however, that on_ the whole the depression in educa- tion has about reached bottom, that greater stability will be at- Africa, although radio has rob- will he whispered to Her Highness | tained in school financing in many bed it of its one-time value as a just before she goes to Clydebank | States this year and that general | DEMOLAYS TO GIVE 18 o'clock at Free Delivery | conveyor of important world news to watch the ocean monster slide | to remote outposts, i down the ways on September 26.!
