Mail Tribune 100, Sept. 13, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 13, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Sep. 13, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Sept. 13, 1915 GRIFFIN CREEK WANTS HIGHWAY IMPROVED Last Wednesday night, a meeting was held at the Griffin Creek schoolhouse to formulate plans for improving the Griffin creek road. The road has been badly cut to pieces in several places by the heavy hauling, and is becoming unpassable for heavy loads. It was decided to circulate a petition for donations of labor from the farmers and to then petition the county court to help with the work. PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF CITY OPEN WITH 1,124 ENROLLMENT The public schools of the city opened this morning, and the registration at noon was 1,124, a decrease of 65 from last year, with an enrollment of 1,199. This deficiency will be made up in the enrollment, many pupils, particularly beginners, being deterred by weather conditions. School authorities said that a bright sunshiny day would have seen an increase over last year. The figures given are the first day, compared with the average 1914 attendance. The enrollment by schools is as follows: 1915 1914 High School 285 290 Washington 358 280 Lincoln 200 218 Roosevelt 157 151 Jackson 120 160 Total 1,124 1,199 Owing to the conditions existing upon the opening day, no accurate figures will be available upon the enrollment before the end of the first month. This afternoon the enrollment is underway, and a slight increase over the above figures will be shown. The attendance at the high school this year is expected to exceed the 300 mark, many out of students not registering. Study will begin in all grades at the high school in the morning, the teachers making study assignments today. Some of the students will have to wait for the arrival of books. The freshmen class will be the largest in the history of the high school. The teachers of the schools and the school board will hold a meeting tomorrow evening to discuss the plans for the year and outline the work.
