The 1908-09 term of th* North
Texas State Normal college was Op-
ened this morning with appropriate
exercises ta the college chapel. 1
While the work of registration has
not been completed yet it is bliev-
ed that the enrollment this year will
exceed anything that has heretofore
beeh known. The male students will
number something like 300 and tht*
should indicate an attendance of
not lees than between 500 and 600.
These figures are not given official-
ly. however, but are based some-
what on the enrollment of former
years, t^t .which time Abe number of
female students was two or three
times as large as the number of male
students.
After the chapel exercises this
morning the work of registration was
begun and will b continued through-
out this afternoon and probably a
portion of tomorrow. • >
