With attendance figures somewhat reduced over those of last year, the Raleigh public schools began the fall term today.

At the high school simple exercises will l;e held Wednesday, Rev. Geo W. Lay having been invited to make an address to the students. . No special exercises will be held at the other schools. While the attendance on the first day was less than that of the ooen- mg day last fall, there is reason to believe that it will rapidly reach the mark of 1910. Confusion incident to compulsory vaccination is responsible lor the falling off, but when students and parents fully understand the regulations, the number will be in creased to normal. At the high, school building today many -parents and children leather ed to see Dr. Jordan and Mr. Harper about the entrance requirements. The school authorities do not expect the attendance this year to be above that ot last season, but a long, step has been taken in the direction of preventing the spread of contagious diseases and there will be much less danger of school work being Inter- uptedi.-.;.
