NOV. 16,1928

NIGHT SCHOOL CLASSES SHOW 300 DECREASE Enrollment Falls F r om Last Year; RegarHsd as Good Sign. Enrollment in evening schools conducted by the I, ilianr.polis public schools, shows a decrease of about three hundred over the same period last year, William A. Hacker, director, said today. Totals compiled Nov. 1, 1928, show 2,045 persons taking courses. The figure was 2,345 for the same date last year. The attendance figure is an average over a week's period. “The decrease in night school enrollment has been more each year,” says Hacker, “and it is considered a healthy sign. A certain number of persons in the city really are interested in work offered by the schools. When more than that number enrolls, the attendance figures show irregularity. Absences increase, and interest of pupils in classwork decreases. “The present enrollment Is steady in attendance, and shows a deep interest in classroom work.” Technical night school leads with 722; Manual is second with 466; and Crispus Attucks third with 160. Grade schools and enrollment arc 105 at School 8; 142 at School 23; 115 at School 42; 31 at School 63; 154 at School 26; and 90 at School 17. Figures change slightly each wees, with some students starting worK and others dropping from classes. Several new classes are formed each week, with a minimum of fifteen students.
