OPEN FALL TERM
Teaching Force Receives Addition
of More Than Fifty
Instructors
ENROLMENT NEARLY 10000
Glasses Crowded with Hundreds
of New PupiIS-FaCe the
Problem of Room

Despite the addition of twenty-six
rooms at the Polytechnic high school,
the opening of the new Manual Arts
high school, the acquisition of the
Hollywood high school, and other
changes in the school system of the
city, every school was opened yester-
day with practically its full enroll
ment
Contrary to the custom for several
years, the high schools were well able
to care for the pupils. Some of the
grade schools were more crowded, and
the Normal Training school was over
whelmed with pupils for the grades.
The central location of this school, as
well as the fact that the instructors
are constantly under the supervision
of most expert masters of the peda-
gogic art, makes the school particular
ty desirable, and from kindergarten
tots up to the higher grade work
crowds OF pupils were on hand.
Many pupils found their way to the
new Manual Arts high school, and
fully 1000 pupils were enrolled there
yesterday. Many of these pupils have
been in the Olive street high school,
and under the principal, Albert 3. Will
son, formerly Of the Olive street school,
they will readily feel at home.
At Los Angeles high school there was
some falling off in attendance, and 1t
Is undoubtedly a IdCI Indt Will IHe
acquisition of so many of the art and
technical schools, the purely classic
instruction may lose interest. The
school accommodates 1000 pupils, but
owing to delay in arranging most ad-
vantageous courses, that number will
not be reached for some days.
POLYTECHNIC CROWDED
At Polytechnic the usual scene of
crowded campus, foyers, steps and cor
ridors packed almost to suffocation,
greeted the teachers, but this year
there was the welcome realization of
the splendid new art building with its
twenty-six rooms waiting to take care
of all the eager students.
Some of the most congested schools
are in the Cahuenga and Hollywood
districts, and it Is probable that sew
eral extra rooms for the grammar
grades will be opened in these locali-
ties. The teaching force is increased
by more than fifty teachers this year,
and a conservative estimate places the
enrolment at more than $4,000, al
though it will be impossible to give out
an authoritative statement on this
subject until this afternoon. Reports
from the school principals were sent
into the board of education yesterday
at o'clock, but the compiling of the
figures will not be complete until some
time today.
Ungraded schools, night schools and
special schools will all be interesting
features of the school work this year
There will be some few changes in the
textbooks used, and the literary taste
of the pupils of the seventh and eighth
grades will be enhanced by the use of
newer and more satisfactory books
which will permit the power of selec-
ton.

MEN FOUND GUILTY IN
BENGAL BY EATING RICE

They have peculiar methods Of try
ing suspects in Bengal. One OF these
is called trial by rice" Every per-
son suspected was ordered to be pres
ent. and all turned up, says the Lon
don Globe. First the people were made
to sit in a semi-circle, and ''plate"
Ga square Of plantain leaD was set be-
fore each. Then a priest walked up
and down, chanting and scattering
flowers. This ceremany over, one Of
the clerks went to each man and gave
him raw rice and told him to chew it
to a pulp.
After about ten minutes they were
told to stop and eject 1t into the plan
tain leaf. All did so easily with the
exception of three men. One of these
three promptly commenced to cry and
begged for mercy. confessing every
thing and saying that another of the
three was the instigator. It is curl
GUS fact that fear, arising from an
evil conscience, prevents saliva coming
to the mouth, with the result desired.

STATE WESTERN BANKS
LOAN MONEY TOO FREELY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-State-
ments that western banks were loan
ing money too freely for luxuries, par
ticularly automobiles, has led to the
gathering of some statistics in Texas.
The bankers there estimated the
value of all automobiles in the state
at 100000, which is more than one
half the combined capital of all the
state banks.
They also estimate the annual de-
probation for which there Is no rem
edy at $15,000.000, or four times the
annual fire loss of the state.

According to an announcement given
out at the general offices of the Los
Angeles Street Railway company yes
terday, ground will be broken today
for the erection of the proposed car
house south of Agricultural park. and

score. The building VIII be rushed in

dition during the heavy traffic hours

MIDDIES WORKING
WHILE CREW PLAYS
Forced to Take Examinations
During Quarantine of the
Cruiser Washington

Although most of the Washington's s
crew is having holiday at the quaran-
tine station. six OF the cruisers mid
shipmen are doing the hardest work
they have tackled since they left the
academy. They are taking the exami-
nation which will decide their next step
in the service.
The papers were received from Wash
ington when the. cruiser arrived at
Angel island, and Captain Rogers de-
cided that the quarantine station was as
good a place as any to hold the ex-
animation, particularly as there will be
no time for anything but ships work
for some weeks after the Washington
is released.
The dining hall at the quarantine
station has been turned into an ex-
animation room, and while the rest of
the ships company is playing baseball
and football the six middies are grind
ing out answers to the questions the
navy department thinks they should be
able to answer
The matches were opened yesterday
on the cruiser and the sulphur fumes
allowed to escape. For several hours
the warship was wreathed in a cloud
of smoke and it will be some days be-
fore the smell of the sulphur will have
disappeared. If there were any small
pox germs on the Washington they are
now dead and harmless.
No new case has developed among
the crew. and the doctors believe that
the scourge has been stamped out
There will be no relaxation of the pre-
cautions. however until the period of
