HaOd River Public School.


The Hood River public school opened
Monday with an enrolment of 1870 pu-
pils-an increase of So over the opening
day of last year. Prof. Thompson, the
principal, says the work of organization
started off smoother this year than ever
before, and that the pupils have already
entered earnestly into their work, giving
prospects for most successful year
Several of the departments are consid-
erably overcrowded, but Prof. Thomp-
son expects by systematic grading and
classification to have matters adjusted
so as to relieve the crowded rooms and
afford opportunity for more satisfactory
work. With expected increased attend
ance the enrolment will soon pass the
200 mark.
With the crowded condition of some
of the rooms it was thought necessary
by the board to either drop the ninth
grade and give the principal the seventh
and eighth grades, or hire an additional
teacher. The hiring of another teacher
would make an additional expense of
$4O0 and necessitate the borrowing of
additional funds by the board of direct
ors. The district recently spent $500 in
procuring two new furnaces for the
building, and as the directors did not
deem it advisable to further increase
the burden of the taxpayers, the teach
ers have come to their assistance and
will endeavor to get along the best they
can for the present at least. Prof.
Thompson has nine pupils in the ninth
grade and had four or five applications
from students who wished to pursue
work in the tenth grade.
1t is hoped the board will employ all
possible means to maintain the ninth
grade, and it is to be regretted that the
tenth grade cannot be established. The
present heavy Indebtedness of the dis
trict certainly necessitates strict econ
omv in the management of the school,
but when such economy impairs the
efficiency of the school it is at best a poor
business proposition. A town the size
of Hood River should maintain school
doing at least two years of advanced
work, embracing the ninth and tenth
grades. We would then have students
coming here to attend good school in
stead of leaving for other schools as
many have done this year. The Frank
ton school, two miles west of town,
with an enrolment less than half of the
town school, is doing ninth grade work
this year.
Where will these students who COM
plete the ninth grade this year find ac-
eommodation next year? VIII it be
better to send them to distant schools at
an expense of 5000 for each student?
This is problem the people of Hood
River must meet, and all enterprising
citizens will readily see that it is man.
ifestly unfair to deprive the children Of
our community the privilege OF good
schools.

kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 1s.-For the
last week Kalamazoo and vicinity have
suffered from a pest of grasshoppers
which is said to be the worst ever
known here. Houses and stores are
lsWarming with the insects, and there
seems to be no way to get rid of them.
In one restaurant yesterday the serving
of meals was discontinued until large
swarm of hoppers could be driven out.
On account OF the plague the city has
mot burned Its electric lights for the
last few nights and all the stores have;
Iclosed at o'clock. The insects filled up
the arc-lamp globes and put the lights
out. Some of the hoppers are nearly
three inches long. and they sing like
|locusts. In the ce lery fields their music
is deafening.
Yesterday afternoon between Cressy
and Delton a train was stopped by an
army Of foppers which extended for
several rods and completely covered the
track for several inches. The crushed
