Until last fall, enrollments had increased, and the four regular recitation rooms were crowded and a narrow room had been used as an overflow recitation room. Robbins suggested enlarging this room; blue prints were drawn; the plans were not looked upon with favor by state authorities at Indianapolis, who said that if recitation rooms were over-crowded, some of the pupils should be enrolled in Warsaw schools. Since this visit, enrollment at East Wayne has decreased by 12.
