IS GENERAL THROUGHOUT THE CITY Teaching Force la the Main the flame a Laat Year, There Belaar Ho Change Whatever in High ftrhool. The public school of Council Bluffs opened yesterday morning for the new school year with the largest enrollment in the history of the city. The increase la especially heavy at the Washington avenue and Bloomer buildings, both schools hav ing already on the first day more pupils enrolled than these buildings are designed to accommodate. The Increase at tha See end Avenuat arhnol Is also henvv. thia helns due to the fact that four additional rooms were opened in this building last spring. At the Rlffhth Avenue ehnnl there tie a slight decrease in the enrollment due to nuDiia Deme iransrerren to ntner aranes. No returns had been received at the super intendents offlee last evenlns- from Woat Council Bluffs, which had an enrollment of rorty-one laat year and which this year Is expected to be allahtlr Increased. Tha enrollment at the Hill school shows a de crease. This la due to a misunderstanding on the part of a number of parents who were under the iroDreeslon that their rhll- dren this year would be transferred to the Pierce Street school. Owing to the repairs at the Pierce Street building not being com pleted the school will not be opened until next Monday. The enrollment last year was 343 and Superintendent Clifford Is of the Opinion It Will sllerhtlv exceed that f,- ure this year. There Is no indication of the new addition to this building being com pleted much before January 1. Comparison with I,ast Year. The enrollment at the different arhnnl and the figures for last year are as follows: 1902. 1901. High school Washington Avenue Bloomer Twentieth Avenue ..
