The first week of t jo Aillowhee formal School has wit ^-yCd the largest gathering of students in the history of,, the in stitution. 190 have already matricu lated, and there are a few more to enter.. The increase over the registra tion for the fall quarter of last ses sion may be indicated by percentages, as follows: increase in the high school department, 15 per cent; in the normal department, 62 per cent; increase in the number rooming in the girls' dormitory, 63 per cent; in the boys' dormitory, 45 per cent; in crease in the demonstration school, 18 per cent. So, there has been grati fying increase all along" the line.1 The students in the demonstration school, of course, are not considered as being properly classed among the registrants. There are about 250 of them. ?>. One hundred and eighty-three students come from North Carolina, while seven are distributed among other states as follow^: South Caro Una, 3; Georgia, '1; Ohio, 1; Penn sylvania, JL; New York , 1. The high school students come from only seven counties and four states, while the normal students x come from twenty-three North Carolina counties and four states. Many other counties will probably be added to the list, when the teachers of the short-term schools matriculate in the winter and spring quarters. Last year the winter and spring quarter brought forty-two new students for the normal depart ment; Probably that many have al ready indicated their intentions to enter next spring; so that, in all probability, only the limitations of the boarding department will deter mine the number of those who are to enter after the first quarter.
