Come one, come all;

Was the sign suspended above the por-
tails of the Salt Lake High school by
Principal Eaton yesterday. The invita-
ton was taken up in the ever ready man
ner of the freshies and the under class
men. The halls were literally crowded
with the younger fry. Those OF the talf
sex, of course, had on their white SWISS
graduation dresses, while the other sex
were CARRIED in just as fitting a way All
held their diplomas in one hand and Their
gum in the other, A few members OF Tie
faculty and of the upper classes smiled
wisely and said they were a likely lot.
I The registration was, however, small,
as only a few more than 600 signed up 1t
hand on the first day. One of the fac
hand on the first day. One of tn etac-
ulty, who is in a position to know, sug-
gested the number of students in each
as follows: Senior, 1S0; junior, Us; sopho-
more, 800; freshman 800. This will crowd

ken as the optional study of the first and
second years.
The shop work of the first year includes
joineTy. elementary cabinet work, some
turning and finishes. That of the sec
ond year Will cover cabinet work, cary
ing, some pattern making 8nd finishes
1t is hoped that by the year 1909-19l0 this
department will be provided with we'll
equipped forge room and foundry for the
shop work of the third year students. Be
sides this, the third years work will in
Clude pattern making of more advanced

chanic arts students
This course is open to students who
have satisfactorily completed the work,
including manual training, of the elemen-
tary schools.
The other courses are about the same
as in previous years and there are to
be few changes. The most important Of
these is a rule regarding military drill.
1t specifies that all boys shall take milf
tary drill for two years and must have
full uniforms during this time. This will
greatly increase the efficiency of the
battalion.
