SMALLER NUMBER
Of PUPILS ENTER
!. THE HIGH SCHOOLS
Second Semester Classes
Not as Large as Those
of September.

Tho enrolment IN tho high schools for
the second semester or the last half of
the year will be smaller this year. ac-
cording to Assistant Superintendent e.
L. Thurston.
Estimates OF the eighth grade teach
ers already are beginning to be made
and the entering classes In the high
schools for the second term will be
about one-ffth OF the number entering
In September.
Parents elect to send q majority to
the high school In the fall term and the
system Of advancing pupils every half
year has not been In vogue long enough
to insure large midyear entrance
Glass; said Mr.. Thurston.
Many eighth grade students were not
sufficiently prepared when entering the
Mckinley High School last fall, and
Principal Frank G. Daniel made spe-
cial report asking that the matter be
taken UP.
The deficiency Of the eighth Grade pu-
pills was not general, according to the
assistant superintendent, and no action
was taken. Scholarship marks for frst
semester pupils at the Mckinley High
were found to be. lower last term than
ever before.
While the report Of Mr.. Daniel 10 the
only one to make an appearance. It IL
believed that the principals will keep =
closer tab on the scholarship efforts Of
the eighth graders this semester, as
those In the past from tho eighth grades
have been the holdcvcrs who were un-
able to make the high SCHOOLS in scu-
tember.
It was found that the first semester
students were more or less deficient In
English, and II 10 understood that q re-
port will be forthcoming from the Eng-
lish department, as econ as DR.. David

CHINA ADOPTS THE SILK HAT
All Back Number TILES of Creation
Headed for the Celestial
Crown.

We hear from time to time that the
day OF the silk hat has passed and that
death blow has been struck at this
tyranny of male fashion. But perhaps
this optimistic forecast must be revised
In view OF the terrible news that reaches
US from China. We are now used to
wars and rumors Of wars from the Celes-
| tial kingdom, but the worst was yet 10
come. China has decided TO adopt the
silk hat in place of the pIgtail, and the
change has been made compulsory
among the official classes and the mem
bers Of foreign embassies
| Here in the west we believe that we
are emancipated from the abominstion
that we have thrown off the shackles
But We haven't. The silk hat Is still
worn upon festive occasions. at ceremo-
nies. at marriages. and when we expect
to shake hands with the president. Ord
in a closet. but we worship it all the
same. We regard It as a link with better
days, and when occasion requires us TO
wear 1t we do 1t with q sense Of fatuous
pride. In spite Of our ordinary villianous
appearance we feel that we can do the
night thing when We have to. that We sre
still hitched to the proprieties.
And so it is hardly more than Id0
years ago that a man prosecuted for
wearing a silk hat. II was a first offense.
II vas the first time that any one had
offended in such a way. and so the court
was perplexed as TO now the wretch
should be dealt with. He was required
to give a bond for future behavior. but
II the judge had only known the effect
Of his illtimed leniency he would have
ordered that the malefactor be boiled IN
oil. hanged. drawn and qusrtered. and
then confined In a lunatic asylum for the
rest of his natural life.
This abandoned creature was called
John Hetherington, and he was a Lon
don haberdasher. An old work on cos
tunes has this to say OF him: The re-
suit Of wearing such a startling novelty
In head gear was that large crowd oi
spectators gathered round the haber-
along the street Hetherington was ar
raigned before the Lord Mayor on a
charge Of breach Of the peace, and was
required to give bonds in the sum of
800. The evidence produced went "a
show that Mr.. Hetherinton who was
well connected, appeared on the pubic
highway wearing upon his head what he
called q silk hat (which was produced). a
tall structure having a shiny luster, and
