THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY. SEPT. 27, 1917

CHURCH SCHOOLS ENROLLMENT IS ABOVE AVERAGE

St. Mary's, St. John's and St. ; ; Andrews Open Doors for Fall Term. . . Richmond parochial schools have opened with good prospects for the term, and all the principals .report Increased enrollments. ' At St. Mary's Catholic school the enrollment this term reaches 195, and a feature is the fine commercial class. All the branches of a commercial career are taught. The boys have formed an orchestra, and the girls also, incentives, according to the lady superior, to a musical education. St. Andrews school opened with an enrollment of 360, the largest attendance being chronciled this fall. The regular and classical branches are taught at this school, with music, and the commercial subjects for a business career. Jos. Richter, principal, said the school had begun work under the most encouraging auspices.

St. John's Lutheran school opened tip

with an enrollment of 70 pupils. Prof.

Henry Zimmerman said the first re

quisite, ecclesiastical and reformation,

with hymnology, was thoroughly taught. German and grammar, with the usual English branches are taught so as to fit the pupils for entry to the

Garfield school.

MAY SEND MORE THAN 20 PERCENT

BULLETIN

Official announcement was made by

the Richmond army board late Thursday afternoon that orders had been received from State Agent Eschbach to send 75 men to Camp Taylor on Friday, October 5. This is about 30 per

cent of the district's quota and will make 189 men that will have been sent to the camp. . Although no official orders have been received here, members of the Richmond army board are preparing to send at least 20 percent of the district's quota of the national army to Camp Taylor on October 3. Letters have been sent out by state conscription agent, Jesse Eschbach asking the various local boards if they are able to send more than 20 percent of their quotas and if so .how many more. The Richmond district it is believed, can easily furnish its 20 percent without calling any of the negro conscripts and may be asked to send more than this number, although no notice to that effect has been received. Government orders specifically provide against the sending of any negro men in the 20 percent contingent and in some districts, particularly in Indianapolis, it will be impossible to fill the 20 percent quota at this time without calling on negro men.

BUS1NEES MEN ARE ASKED TO ENROLL

In offering a course in electricity, B. W. Kelly, head of the physics department at the high school, emphasizes the fact all persons and especially business men of the city are asked to enroll. The course is the first of its kind given in connection with the night school. The class will meet one night a week and will alternate with another course. The study will deal with ordinary terms used in electricity and their meaning. Subjects under discussion will be new ornamental lighting for cities, wiring of homes, illumination of show windows, etc. The subjects will be given in lecture form with a general discussion following. Persons who expect to take the work must, register Monday evening when other registrations for the night school will be made.
