.ODO DISTINCTION
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Based on Total City School
Enrolment, r. H. S. Is
Largest in Country.

Based on the standpoint of total en-
rollment. in the city. the number OF
students at the high school is the larg.
est OF any high school in the United
Der of the school board on Wednesday
morning in addressing the students at
the chapel exercises. The enrolment
at the high school during the year
has averaged 610. the largest in the
history of the school. Thirteen years
ago only 372 pupils were enrolled, and
this number then was considered
somewhat extraordinary. The in
creased enrolment of the high school
is far out of proportion to the in.
crease in the entire school enrolment
Of the city. In 1898 the total school
enrolment was 2,744 and this year
there abe 2,730, a decrease of IA.
The high schools growth has large.
ly been because the parents appreciate
what value a high school education is
to their children, Mr.. Nusbaum stated
Formerly parents permitted their
children to attend for two or three
years but removed them before they
could graduate. Now they are per-
mitting their sons and daughters to
graduate by the fact that the class this
year includes a, just one less than
twice the number of graduates in 1898.
In addressing the prospective 1911
graduates, Mr.. Nusbaum said they
were joining a class of $50 alumni OF
the school. OF this number, he had
learned by investigation, none brought
discredit to the school. and all had
gained success, as this world measures
success.

Chicago, June THE May wheat
corner engineered by A. J. LIGHT
stern is under investigation by United
States District Attorney Sims, accord
ing to brokers on the board of trade,
and several indictments are likely to
follow. This declaration was made to-
day despite the refusal of Sims to dis.

Following hard on the heels of an
announcement that Lichtstern had
cornered the storage room for wheat
in Chicago and that in this manner
he was prepared to boost the price of
cash wheat to s1.25 to wipe out losses
he is said to have sustained when he
failed to boost prices on the board of
trade, the report that a Federal in
quiry is on is regarded as certain.
According to the report, William H.
Lanyon of st. Louis. who defaulted on
May wheat to the extent of 100000
bushels, caused the probe to be start
ed with the view of finding out how
Lichtstern and the bull leaders were
able to acquire as much as $4,000. 900
bushels of wheat. So far the board OF
trade has taken no decisive action.
