AN INCREASED ATTENDANCE

ON THE YPSILANTI SCHOOLS THIS YEAR.

THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT OF PUPILS  FOR THE FIRST WEEK IS 1010

   The first week of the fall term of the public schools closed last night with a somewhat increased attendance. Superintendent George reports that there are enrolled in the four years of the high courses 225 pupils to date, a few more than the first week last year. In the four grades or years of the grammar department there are 316 pupils, and 469 in the four years' of the primary. This makes a total enrollment in all public schools of the city of 1010 for the first week. This is an average for each teacher, including the superintendent and special teachers, of 35 pupils. Of the whole number of teachers, ten are engaged in high school work, eight in the grammar schools and eleven in the primary. It requires of course more teachers in the high school, in proportion to the number of pupils enrolled, than in the other departments for the reason that several courses of study are offered. necessitating more classes. Superintendent George reports that the opening week has proved most satisfactory, everything assuming shape for strong, vigorous work, promptly and easily.
