contingent fund levy is raised from
Az to mills, the limit allowed by the
law. The water fund levy is raised
from three-quarters of a mill to 1 "
mills, and the sewer fund levy is re-
duced one-quarter of a mill, the library
fund and the street fund levies re-
main the same as last year, one-quar-
ter mill and 5 mills, respectively. This
makes Il net advance of one mill. The
cause for the increase is the eXtrava-
gance of the present administration.
The advance in the levy will produce
about 100000 more revenue, but that
will not be nearly sufficient to meet
expenses at the present rate of eX-
penditures. The contingent fund is
now about 100000 overdrawn, and in
a year from now the city will be much
more largely in debt.

Orieinators of UL,lef: Writing.

Before a school teacher lay num-
Der of compositions, all written in a
neat, upright hand.
Few people," she said, know to
whom we are indebted for the straight
up and down penmanship now taught
in our schools, and few grasp the SUI
periority of this style.
Upright writing was originated by
Drs. Won Reuss and Lorenz of Aus
tria. They recommended 1t to the
Aue' rian Sur enc Council of Hygiene.
They pointed out that 1t was the bet
ter style of writing to leach children
for the reason that child using 1t
would face IS book and would thus
be spared the twist of the body and
neck which is always observed in
those who write the slanting hand.
This twist, they showed, had a ten
dency to bring on spiral curvature.
"The recommendation of DR.. Won
Reuss and DR.. Lore'lz was adopted in
Austria, and upright writing was fin
ally adopted there. May it live for
ever."-Los Angeles Times.

Young are writing especially for the
occasion. They are working on it
night and day and with continued in
dutsry expect to have it so far ad-
vanced by August 1 that the players
will be able to begin rehearsing about
that date. Race Whitney will be stage

TRUTHS.

Chief Justice Bartch rendered his
resignation to Governor Cutler to take
effect on October LIST, and the governor
accepted it with great haste. Ac-
cording to the Tribune there is weep
ing and wailing among the members
of the bar, nobody outside the Tribune,
however, has heard the lamentations.
Just why Justice Bartch should place
his resignation earlier than December
81 is a mystery which may be cleared
up later. 1t may also be that some
urgent necessity may arise for the
Judge to remain on the bench for three
months after October 1. 1t may also
be that the judge didn't expect that
the governor would have accepted his
resignation so promptly. That Mr..
Bartch would voluntarily relinquish
1920 month against prospective in
come of nothing requires an explana-
ton.
If Justice Bartch really does step
down and out on October l, it will fall
to Governor Cutler to appoint some
one to fill out Mr.. Bartch's unexpired
term of three months. The Republi-
can state convention will doubtless be
held before October 1 and it is not I'M
likely that the governors appointee
would be the nominee of the conven-
ton.

PRINCETON REGISTRATION DECREASES
Freshman Glass Cut Down by Rigid Entrance
Examinations-Tu System Advantages.

Princeton N J.. Oct. (speciaI).-The total en-
roInlent Of the freshman class OF Princeton Uni
vsrsity is about three hundred and twenty-five
with twenty-six eligible admission who have not
registered or appeared in the classroom. The en-
rolment last year was $50. The decrease is due TO
the more rigid entrance examinations. The new
enrolment in the three upper classes is much larger
than ever before. especially In the senior class.
The increase of graduates entering from other tn
stitutions is thought TO be due to the success OF
the tutOrial system.
In the freshman class the courses are divided as
follows: Bachelor Of arts 13S bachelor OF science.
ga civil engineering. 90. Judging by the exaInna-
tion papers. the scholarship OF the class OF 10 is
unusually good Notwithstanding the rigidity Of
these examinations in the academic department. 81
per cent the entering came tn without con-
ditions: IN the scientific department. 80 per cent
have no conditions and in the civil engineering de-
partInent 8s per cent This gives average of 40
per cent entering without conditions. Eighty
three per cent Of the freshmen came from private
schools
