Police Explain Action he answer, emanating from police dquarters and the offices of ponsible village officials, may be .med up as follows: Vilmette has a Dog Muzzling ordi- ce. It is the most flagrantly violat- law on the village statute books. Mat is the result ? Within a period three months, just past, at least ty-five residents of this village e been bitten by vicious dogs. Of t number fourteen were victims of f ee dogs. One dog bit five persons, ther bit a like number and the d was contented with nipping four agers. Most of these victims were ldren. Several of them are under- ng treatment in the Pasteur Insti- e in Chicago. One of these dogs Eered a bad case of Rabies. The ier two were vicious and a decided saace in the village. Muzzled canines at large in the eets do not come under the police n. Every unmuzzled dog wandering out in the village will become the rget of a police rifle. The order may seem cold-blooded d drastic." the police say, "but we e determined to protect the res- ults of this village. It is easy to mply with this law. We are not it after stray dogs for the sport of but to protect the children of Wil- ette against a possible recurrence an, incident last spring when an (jparently harmless mongrel bit a ore of school children at the Laurel Central avenue schools." HEAVY ENROLLMENT AT NEW TRIER HIGH Expect Approximately 1,200 Students Before End of School Term; At- tract Many Outside Pupils Unusual advantages offered at New Trier Township High school in its ex- cellent teaching force, modern school buildings and generally pleasant and inviting surroundings, are attracting students, not only from the township, but from Evanston and Rogers Park, according to a statement issued this week from the offices of Principal Eston V. Tubbs. "The total registration to date at New Trier High school is 1,065," it is stated. "This is about 150 more students than were enrolled last year. Before the close of this month it is expected the registration will exceed 1,100 and before the close of the school year the enrollment is expected to approximate 1,200 students. In spite of the fact that the tuition was raised from $100 to $150 for students outside the township a number of students from Evanston and Rogers Park have registered at New Trier. Registration is particularly heavy in the Freshmen courses." The High School Board of Educa- tion has decided to postpone the pro- posed Continuation school work for another year, it was announced at the school this week, giving as the reason the overcrowded conditions at the school. Before the Illinois Legis- lature adjourned in June, a law was passed making it optional with Boards of Education as to whether or not they should take the continuation school work. New Trier expects^ro take up this work as soon as condi- tions at the school will permit. Because of the increased enroll- ment and number of students taking language courses the Board has found it necessary to add another language teacher to the faculty in order to take care of the unexpectedly large registration in that department.
