schools wont feel the dangerous impact of declining enrolments as will other pro vinical county boards he said Dr Thomas said if the board averaged the growth rate over the past two years and pro

county which is almost im possible to happen the pro jected student enrolment would not rise at all from 1978 to 1985 However with continuing migration trends into the coun ty our elementary school
