enrolled in the schools of Barrie at the opening of the 195354 full term This was just about the registration ex pected by the school boards andrprlncipals Of these 2189 were elementary school pupils at the four public schools of town and St Marys Separate School and this year for the firsttime the enrolment included seven pupils attending the class opened in King George School by the local branch of the Parent F811 Contrary to expectations the kin dergarten enrolment throughout town approximated that of last yczir VLIh total registration of 276 to date There was some doubt at the close of registration in Hillcrest Public School yesterday morning as to whether the boundary arrange of the pilpils to the School As mElIlS set up last spring will stand yet there has been no means founch in the face of the schools heavy of transporting the children homcgenrolmentof 042 students 103 after this week whom registered 1n Hillcrests two Since the dcmnltiou of another old pdblicschool Victoria

usmg tables and chairs and has play yard on the old school grounds InnisfiI Schools Are Well Filled By RGS Several pupils who have been at tending the Stroud school and from whose homes tliepupils have been coming there for years were told by thclio School Area Board that they would have to seek ac tommodation from the No Area althoughthe nearest school to them in that area is nearly mile fur ther than Stroud The schools are all filled beyond capacity In fact it is likely that some of the halls will have to be turned into class rooms The fifth line school which last year had an attendance of 21 this year has now 39 and the additional pupils from the No Area turned over to them makes this school overcrowded The new school just finished north of Thornttm is already too small and will have to have an additional room School area boards have burned plenty of midnight oil in their en deavor chfind seats for all the scholars Besides this there are many new houses under construc tion and plenty of additional pros pects coming along Codrington and Prince of Wales scnools but about 40 more pupils ithzm expected arrived at the school yesterday morning This enrolment will probably increase as the school year gets underway Hillcrest School had figured on classroom load of around 32 When the school was built the Depart ment of Education whittled the rooms to size recommended for 30 pupils but it could be nudged up to 32 The present enrolment gives Hillcrest an average classroom load of 3369 to room exclusive of the kindergartens and as the lowerrooms in the school take the heavier load of pupils class rooms may be accommodating 38 to 41 pupils The average cannot be kept to even 33 or 34 pupils room except in the senior grades There were 39 pupils enrolled in the Hillcrest kindergartens in the spring but on Tuesday an addition al 14 pupils registered This unex pectedly heavy enrolnient and the 25 or so extra pupils in the various grades may necessitate revicwing the boundary situation Normally reports Principal Bell registration atilllcrest is fin ished around 1000 am on school opening day Yesterday it was lat er than 1130 am before the com plete enrolment had been handled The new wing at Hillelest is ex pected to open in October and until that time the senior grades will be operating in triple shifts in the auditorium At other Barrie public elementary Council for Retarded Child schools the enrolment figures were close to those estimated before opening day Codrington Public School had total enrolment of l20 pupils 52 of these in kinder garten on Tuesday morningbut had already increased to 422 by this morning Only the kindergarthw gisiration is over the maximum by two pupils as 10 more pupils than expected registered and the num bers will probably increase to 55 or 56 kindergarten children in spite of those transferred to Hmcrcst School gt The school is now filled to cap aciry but Principalx Macao nun feels that if things stay as they are the school can comfortably manage this year At King Edward School wherca new room was opened this year the registration is up to 422 also Sixtyone of these pupils are in kindergarten and the classrooms are almost filled Prince of School has lower registration this year than last due to the absorp tion of some pupils by Hillcrest Tuesdays enrolment was 420 pllpliS bringing the average classroomload at the school down to about 37 l8 and 52 in some grades There are 60 kindergarten pupils at Prince of Wales down from last years en rolment of 16 children St Marys Separate Schoolhas
