    In 1911

    Friday, Sept. 22 — Dr. Frank H. Roberts, president of the Normal University, said today that the attendance at the school this year is over 40 percent in excess of that of last year.

In the Normal training classes 155 pupils are registered, which is exactly 40 percent above the enrollment of last semester. In the grades he has 120 this year, as compared with 80 last year.
