This ia 107 more than the number in attendance at theo^ pmnng laat year. Them are 48$ in the grammar grades and M5 in the high school. DuMutttheent^emteianlaet year there were only 168enroUedin the high school, and on the opening day last year the number Jn the high school was only Ml, while in 1921 the number enrolled m the high school on the opening day The number enrolled in the gram mar grades is 489 as compared with 425 on the opening day last year and 407 on the opening day two years ago. Three new class rooms are being formed in the high school auditorium by running partitions, and it may be necessary later to provide two more class rooms in this room. This will make it possible to avoid part-time classes, which is an abomination and not fair to pupils or teachers. Cut ting up the auditorium does away with the assembly place of the school. In remarks and announcements at the opening exercises Monday Supt. W. B. Crumpton stated that at least 75 per sent, of the graduates of the Lumberton high school have gone or are going to college, and that every one has entered with at least 15 points to her or his credit. A11 pupils who live outside the Lumberton,district must pay tuition this week for three months, Crumpton announced, or the doors of the school will be closed against them next Monday. Pupils in grades 1 to 7, inclusive, must pay $4 a month, or $12; high school pupils must pay $5 a month, or $15. This is by order of the school board and Supt. Crumpton has the duty of enforcing the order. Part of the seventh grade will use the east room of the "hut'\ ot jCaatle. The room facing the part of the grounds on which the new building is being erected wiil not be used, and no pupils will be allowed on these grounds. Supt. Crumpton urged the impor tance of parents doing their part to make the school a success, and he wants a parents-teachers association organised at once. Those who failed in their work last year were not made to study at home, he said. Those called on by Prof. Crumpton were brief and helpful in their re marks. Chairman K M. Barnes said the school board had done its best to prepare for the best year in the his tory of the school. He felt that they had been successful in a measure at least in improving the physical equip ment and knew they had succeeded admirably in providing an able fac ulty; and he asked the children to show their appreciation by doing their best. Mr. Jas. D. Proctor, a member of the board, put in a happy word about playing the game all the way through with absolute fairness. If that was done, he said, there would be no trouble. Dr. R. C. Beaman, pas tor of Chestnut Street Methodist church, spoke of the noble work and great responsibility of the teacher, of the sadness that comes to mothers who turn their children over to the school for the first time, and the great privilege the children enjoy in the splendid equipment provided in their public schools.
