NINE HUNDRED AT SCHOOLS
■
All Records Are Broken at the Opening of the Term
on Monday.
The Americus schools opened yes
terday for the fall season with the
largest attendance ever known on
opening day, exceeding nine hundred
pupils. These filled up Furlow and
Rees Park schools, with ample room
at the colored school.
Supt. Miller says the attendance
was even greater than expected.
The enrollment of pupils in the
white schools is 652 already, while
only 2po colored pupils have entered
at McKay school yet.
This rather small attendance at
McKay Hill school is accounted for
in the fact that many former pupils
are now working in the country.
These will enter the school later, as
they do always ,and the total num
ber there will exceed 700.
At Furlow School the scene pres
ented was highly interesting.

Six hundred and two school child

who are registered, did not attend
yesterday. None were turned away,
although Supt. Miller doesn't know
where he will put them.
Many pupils still out of the city

month the enrollment of pupils in
the white schools will reach eight
hundred, and possibly more.
Further additions to this building
