MANY TURNED
FROM SCHOOL
OVER TWO THOUSAND ENROLLED
AT POLYTECHNIC
WAITING LIST is MORE THAN
&C HUNDRED
One Hundred and Fifty More to Seek
Admission Monday, Principal
Francis Expects = Try
New Enrolment

over two thousand pupils were reg
istered for the new term at the Los
Angeles Polytechnic high school yes
terday, the largest ever enrolled in that
institution before, according to Princi-
pal ]. H. Francis.
over 14O pupils are on the waiting
list, to which may be added between
100 and $50 names tomorrow.
1.-THE building was constructed with a
view to accommodating 1900 pupils orig
inally," explained Principal Francis
yesterday, "but we have enrolled here
tofore as many as 1900 and 1900 pupils.
However. we took in a little over 1000
today. Two things should be consid-
cred in connection with this, however.
On the one hand, we will doubtless lose
some pupils Monday, and many more
the first week of the new term, which
commences then. For we are compelled
to send quite a few back to the grades
each term in order to have them per-
feet their work before entering here
and trying to take up the high school
studies. On the other hand, it must
be remembered that all the applications
are not in as yet, and that probably $50
new names will be enrolled Monday.
However, enrolment has not ceased
in our upper classes as yet, as 1t is
only the lower classes which are so
overcrowded.s
Pupils Examined
"We have new system of enrolment
and of program making and register
ing this term which worked finely.
Heretofore it has taken from two to
three days at the commencement of
each term to get the pupils properly
enrolled, but this time we had forty
teachers at the building today, COM
prising eight committees. These COM
mittees examined the pupils as to their
course Of study, as to what particular
line of work they wished to pursue, and
as to their own standard of achieve
ment and ability. Thus the programs
are ready for each individual pupil to
commence work Monday without any
hitch or delay whatever
Eyler Fillmore, the president of the
student board of control of the school,
through whose hand each year passes
some $4,000. said yesterday that every
thing was going well with the student
body. and that the prospects were
bright for the new term. He added
they would have safe in their new
box office, which will facilitate their
work considerably at school entertain
ments.
System Explained
At the Los Angeles high school there
was not so much confusion as at the
Polytechnic owing to the fact that the
number of applicants for admission
into the Polytechnic were more than
treble that of the other school. At the
Los Angeles the enrolling pupils were
sent direct to a class room. where
teacher took them In charge and as
sisted them to understand the system
of study in the school and explained the
different courses. AT Polytechnic all
were gathered together in the auditori-
UNI and were instructed how to act by
Principal Francis, and each pupil was
not only enrolled, but made out a reg
ular program. was told what books to
get and will be ready for study Mon
day morning.

The newest designs in silk waists are
most attractive and are in high favor
with women of up-to-date ideas. The
waist sketched is not too elaborate for
general wear. nor is it too complicated
for home development. The arrange
ment of tucks in front and back is both
pretty and effective, the Gibson pleat"
producing the long shoulder effect that
is now so popular. The vest, however,
gives the waist it's most attractive
feature, and will be found becoming to
all types of figure. The sleeves may be
in full or shorter length, the tucked
cuffs affording a pretty finish to the
shorter development. For taffeta, mes
saline or any of the popular waist silks
the style is excellent, while wool or
linen could also be made up after this
mode. For the medium size go yards
of 24-inch goods are required.
