Thousands of children through, out the Province went Lrooping . back to school yesterday to be- '

another term of one schou: days. It was back to school for City pupils and for urban child- reninotherpartsofthelslnnd. There were also a few rural schools opening yesterday al- Jlough the majority had opened earlier.

A check of the situation here indicated that there was a very mull increase in attendance at the five City schools over the st- tendance of a Year ago.

Queen Square School headed the list with 879 pupils. This com- pares with the slightly larger at- tendance figure of 384 in Septem- ber 1956. Rochford Square report- ed 666 pupils registered yester- day a slight increase over the 643 of a year ago. Prince Street School reported an enrolment of 450. including the kindergarten wrich is live less than a year ago. West Kent has 353 registered in- cluding kindergarten, which is two less than last year. QUEEN CHARLOTTE

Queen Charlotte High School had 415 register yesterday which

Reopening Yesterday OI Schools In Urban Areas

was a gain of ten over last year's figures.

The total attendance for the city schools is 1763 which com- pares to the attendance of 2711 in opening day of a year ago.

Most rural E ' opened their year's work on August 12th These schools will be taking a two-week fall vactiou at potato digging time. A few schools opened a week earlier. August 5 or August 0th. and they will be taking a three-week vacation the Guardian learned from the Department of Education. i

It was also learned that a few schools opened the week before Labor Day.

The only restriction laid down is this regard is that they must have 2(1) teaching days.

First year students enrolled at Prince of Wales College yester- day afternoon. There were 218 students enrolled. This is down slightly from the first year en- rolment of last year but Regist- ar Gordon Bennett said that there are always a few who come in later and he was sure that when completed. the enrol- ment this year would be up to

that of last year. Second year t nts enroll to- day and third and fourth year students enroll on Thursday and Friday. Mr. Bennett told the Guardian that the College is de- voting two days to the enrolment in the third and fourth year be- cause they are going to discuss the courses with the students and try to help them select the courses that will be most suitable and most beneficial to them. These are the college years and they launch many of the stud- ents on a career that will take them through university. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

In the Vocational School, Super- visor Esward MacPhail said that 64 students registered yes- terday but this is only an ap- proximate enrolment as others be coming in later as they do each year. Some do not come in until the last of September as they work on farms until then and some come in still later.

Last year a total of 88 students attended some part of the vear's work. Mr. MacPhail said that the number this year will likely surpass that mark.
