Pleased With First
D ay — Vaccination
Bany 1n Effect Oct. 1
Approximately 6,000 children in
Norwalk this morning rose early.
and with shining faces went with
varying degrees of willingness. to
School.
As fror’ time immemorial at the
end of vacation. they left behind the
'joys of the summer and returned to
the schedule of learning.
While Superintendent John Lund
said this morning that he had no
accurate figures. it is assured that
Norwalk‘s total school enrollment
thisIfall will near the 6. 000 mark.
Last year records showed nearly
7,000 children between the ages of
4 and 16. and of these almost 85
per cent should register this year.
In spite of the new school bulld-
ings. Center Junior High and Rog-
er Ludlow Junior High. the seating
capacity is being taxed to the ut-
n10st. In few places are there
empty seats.
The high school building has four
new rooms. as a result of sliding
partitions in the assembly hall on
the third floor. These are now in
use. but the increase in registration
has not cut down the size of the
classes.
A general indication of enroll-
ment can be gained by the condi-
tions at the West Norwalk school.
where but 28 pupils were expected.
Instead of this number 36 pupils at-
tended this morning and more are
expected. This condition is gener-
ally truo throughout the city.
Going Smoothly.
Mr. Lund said that everything had
gone smoothly throughout the
morning.
1 "I have received few calls. and
therefore it is probable that there is
no difficulty.
“There has been some small mis-
understanding of the new vaccina-
tion ruling adopted by the Board of
Education. Children not 1acclnated
who are entering for the first time
are being enrolled as usual We
shall set a. dead line. however. pos-I
slbly on October 1, and after that
time unvaccinated pupils, who are
ente1ing the Norwalk school system
for the first time this year, will not
be admitted
"This sho_uld give parents lots of
time to have their children vaccina-
ted.
While in former Hyeats it was the
custom merely to register the chil-
dren the first day and then dis-
miss them. many school got down to
a. working basis today. At the high
school. books were issued and the
classes consisted mainly of introduc-
tory work. ‘
At the junior high schools and
primary schools, many of the chil-
dren were gi1en easy walk. and
some classes spent the morning
reading. '
Back at Work.
“The students are back at work
today as though they had been on

CITY MANAGER
01 CLEVELAND
MEETS WM. ENO
Introduced B y Emil
Hemming— Discuss
Trailic Regulations
For Several Hours
W. R. Hopkins. City Manager of
Cleveland. was the recent guest of
Emil Hemming. vice-president of the
Fairfield Trust Company. While in
Norwalk he met William Phelps Eno
noted traffic expert and as a result
carried back, to Cleveland many
ideas on traffic regulation which
may be put to use in that city.
Mr. Hopkins. who is an old friend
of Mr. Hemmlng. is making a tour
of the United States. It was while
at the Shorehavcn Club that he was
introduced to Mr. Eric.
“They became so interested in
the subject of traffic that they talked
for a. couple of hours." Mr. Hemmlng
said.
Mr. 13110 is the creator of the Eno
Foundation. and the author of "The
Science of Highway Traffic Regula-
tion." 1 His 1101k in traffic regula-
tion has caxried him to London and
Falls wheIc many of his ideas are
being put into effect.
Mr. Hopkins, who was the subject
of an article in a recent issue of
World's Work. has a unique position
among city executives of today.
Cleveland was the first large city in
the United States to adopt the city
manager plan. Instead of having
elective offices. filled by partisan
candidates. the office holders in
Cleveland are hired and fired by the
City Managel.
Mr. Hopkins. who left for New
York Sunday. is of the opinion Nor-
walk could profitably adapt the city
manager plan.

CHICAGO. Sept. 9.——(AP) A pop-
ular couple known in Oak Park. a
suburb. as Mr. and Mrs. William S.
Moakley. who left several weeks
ago. ostensibly on a vacation four.
have been revealed as Dr. W. H.
Moorheud, wealthy heir to the, es-
intc of a Pittsburgh steel manufac-
turer and Mrs. Rose Smith Foln, 27.
Hanover. Pa. '
Their identity was established
when warrants were issued in the
east charging Dr. Moorhead with
violation of a federal statute in
bringing Mrs. Foin here. Mrs. Foin
has returned to the cast. but the
has not
been determined.
The couple came to live in 09.".
Park late last year. and, began to
take part in social affairs. Mean-
while Mrs. Gertrude Foln Moorhead
of Atlantic City. N. J.. sought ‘her
husband and Joseph N. Foln. her
brother. sought his wife. who had
deserted him and a three year old
daughter. They found that one's
husband had gone off with the oth~
cr's wife and they traced them here.
Mrs. Moorhead.1\ho was awarded
a. yearly alimony of $7. 000 in 1916.
obtained an attachment for a. years
payment which was in arrears by
tying up her husband's account 1:11-
der the name of W. S. Moakley. in
an Oak Park bank. A court order
gave her possession of his furniture
in the suburb. but when a deputy
visited the house Dr. Moorhcad and
Mrs. Foin had disappeared.
The domestic affairs of the Moor-
heads attracted attention in Pitts.
burgh two months ago when the
wife started proceedings to compel
the husband to support her. Heds
the beneficiary under a trust which
gives him 820.000 yearly. Trustees
of the estate argued that this in-
come could not be levied upon to
support Mrs. Moorhead and the case
is pending. . .1. ‘ b
