While the increased attendance of 39,639 pupils in the schools the past year would require about 800 addi tional teachers under present provis ions, the board found it necessary to strike a compromise, since the schools have to operate next year on the funds provided for the, past year, ex cept that small savings were made the past year which may be used for next year.
