ATTENDANCE AT N. U. TO REACH 5,000 MARK Latest Report From Offices of Registrars Show In- creased Enrollment. From the latest reports received registration from the administrat' - .offices of Northwestern university in- figures bid fair to exceed the 5 >>" mark. At the close of school last ><-..•. there were 4,787 students enrolled i; the various schools and colleges oi th university, so the present figures sho an increase of about 300, and th: number will probably be still greater at the end of the year. Tabulated Figures. The number In each school is shown in the following list: College of Liberal Arts..... Graduate School .......... Medical School ........... Training School .......... I .aw School ............ Engineering ............... Pharmacy ................. Dental .................... School of Music ........... School of Commerce....... Srhool of Oratory.......... Garrett Biblical Institute... Kvanston Academy ........ Grand Prairie Seminary.... Klgln Academy ................ G5 Liberal Arts Gains. Some Interesting facts are to be noted concerning these figures. The College of Liberal Arts shows an In- crease of 10 per cent over last year. which, considering conditions, la re- garded as remarkable by the adminis- tration. Of this number 522 are men and c.n women. The freshman class numbers 49fi, and the women are fn the majority by two, the men number- ing 217 and the women 249. Decrease In Pharmacy. The Law School shows a JO per cent increase In freshmen. Engineer- ing gained 2.1 students over last year. Pharmacy shows a marked decline, but this was expected since the re- quirement for admission was raised from one year of high school to four. Music School shows an Increase of 10 per cent, and Commerce School has gained 25 per cent. The new quar- ters in this school have done much to Increase the enrollment. Academy Holds Ovm. The Bvanston Academy shows a slight loss, hut it also aaa a gala In students attending from a distance, which is gratifying to Principal N. W. Helm, who has carried on a thor- ough and extensive advertising cam- paign. FIRE LADDIES PRAISED BY CAPTAIN C.G.HEALY . 1.08.'. . lOo .

Sev- « t.il of the firemen have no badge and confusion Is experienced In tell- ing whether or not the uniformed man is a policeman, guurd or fireman. The Inspection of each fireman's uniform was conducted in the most ex- acting detail. Kven the working of the button holes of the coat and the finishing of the lapela was noted. Tho general good condition in which the firemen had kept their uniforms was mentioned by both Capt. Healy anl Director Hedrick. The firemen were lined up In mili- tary fashion for Inspection. There was an absence of rubber and cellu- loid collars, which marked the In* spectlon of the clothing of the police officers ten days ago and called forth the caustic comment from the In- spectors that these old fogey man* ners of dress should he discarded. No recommendation was made con- cerning any of the fire-fighting equip- ment. Capt. Healy stated to a repre- sentative of The News that, in his opinion, there Is In Evanston a lire organization, both w to equipment and men, of which the city may welt be proud.
