TOTAL ANNUAL ENROLLMENT - The chart below shows the total annual enrollment in the 3urt Public schools for the twenty-six year period from 1908 to 1933, inclusive. This cnart is of interest and importance because of the enrollment trends indicated. From 1908 to 1919 there -as a period of marlted increases in the school enrollment which increased from 145 in 1910 to 244 in 1919 or an increase of 68 in ten years. In the twelve years from 1908 to 1919 there were but three years when decreased enrollments were recorded. Beginning with 1920 a nd continuing to 1927 there was 8 period when decreased enrollments were recorded. Since that time the trend seems to be sharp increases in total enrollments , although there have been two years in this latter period when slight decreases in enro1lment were noted. It is of interest to compare this chart wit h the ones showing total high school enrollment, total elementary school enrollment and the census chart. The changing enrollments and more particularly the shifting of these increases from elementary school to high school e.nd visa-versa results in problems of adjusting equipment to the enr ollment of a particular group.
