and as to schooling, were registered as academic students. These were divided into two classes, the first year taking a review of the common branches, the second year taking studies of high school grade. Other less advanced students were registered as intermediate (Second year preparatory). These were given the fourth reader with other studies of corresponding level. The younger pupils, as well, as older ones who had received but limited schooling, were registered as preparatory students. These were given the third reader with other like studies. Two hundred and one names appear on the records for the first year. These, however, were not all in attendance at the same time. The report of the Principal, Louis F. Moench, shows that one hundred and seventy-one attended the first term, January 7 to March 15, 1889; and that one hundred and thirty-seven attended the second term, March 18 to May 24, 1889. The two hundred and one were registered as follows: fifty-eight as academic, sixty-six as intermediate (second year preparatory), thirty-five as preparatory, and forty-two unclassified. Most of the forty-two seem to have taken elementary branches. Eight of them were fourteen years of age or younger, and, therefore, definitely preparatory grade. Some few of the unclassified students may have taken high school subjects, but apparently not many. Of the fifty-eight who registered as academic students, perhaps more than one-half took the first year which was a review of the common branches. Accordingly, an estimate of one hundred and seventy preparatory students out of the enrollment of two hundred and one would seem to be fair. The ages of the two hundred and one are given as follows: Sixty-six were over eighteen, fifty-three were from fifteen to eighteen, and sixty-three were under fifteen. Ages were not given for nineteen. Of the one
