No definite figures on the public
school enrolment will be available

Sampson IL about mile away.
THE transfer Of those children was
q mistake" said Miss Nellie b. Seitz,
chief clerk In the superintendent or
fee. A large district was created Tor
the Sampson school, as 1t Is In the
outskirts of the city, where the popu-
lation is not dense. The Vinew0oi-
ave. pupils will be re-transferred to
the Wingert school when the bOun-
daries Of the Sampson district are re-
adjusted. The Wingert building Is
very crowded, and six halliday ses-
sions; possibly more, must be held
there. The same condition prevails
In other schools. The older pupils,
as many as possible. will be kept n
the school to which they have been
accustomed to go. It will be several
days before the attendance matters
are all adjusted"

Special Meeting

A special meeting of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance
Union is called for next Monday
afternoon at the city hall. We
hope TO have a large attendance.
One of the important things TO
be considered is the place of
meeting for our Union. We have
met at the Library for six
months and have had very inter
esting and instructive meetings
and a splendid attendance. But
there are several disadvantages
in meeting there that will be
overcome when we get our new
Library building. and for the
present we are contemplating a
change. At the last meeting of
the city council they kindly
granted us the privilege of meet
ing at the city hall the first and
third Mondays in each month.
This favor we appreciate very
much, and this meeting is called
TO decide whether we make the
change. Every one will have a
chance 20 talk about il, so come
and help us in this decision. But
if we change il will not be until
the first Monday in April. as that
is one of the six months series
Of meetings TO be held at the
Library. Watch for a notice of
that next week, but remember

To Carry Exhibits Free

! am sure the school children
OF Oregon will be- delighted to
know that the different railroads ;
the s. p. the O. w. r. n. and
the Hill lines in Oregon, includ-
ing the Astoria line. the Oregon
Electric and the United Rail-
ways. have an agreed 10 carry
the school childrcn's exhibits 20
and from the State Fair this year
free of charge.
In order to take advantage Of
this liberal offer the exhibits Of
a certain co nty or district must
be assembled at one or more con
venient shipping points and
shipped together in the name Of
the County School Superintend-
ent, teacher or other authorized
person.
This is fine thing for the
railroads to do. and il will help
wonderfully in this industrial
contest. Now the child 200 miles
away from Salem can send an
exhibit 10 the fair Just as well
as one only 20 miles away. We
hope the boys and girls all over
the state, knowing this fact ear
ly in the season, will begin at
once TO prepare something for
the State Fair II begins Sep
tember 20 this year, and the
prize list is larger and more at
tractive than last year. The list
will be Oft the press in a few days
and sent out 90 the County School
Superintendent from whom
each family can secure copy.
Besides the fine line of regular
and special prizes in the individ-
ual classes. there are five cash
prizes ranging from 500 down
to $40 for the best collective eX-
hibit by the schools of any coun-
~. There are also five special
prizes for the best exhibit by one
room districts outside of counties
making n county exhibit.
Oregon has n good chance TO
lead the world in industrial work
this year, and reap n great re-
ward. To this end we hope 10
have the cooperation of not only
all the teachers and children. but
OF every other citizen of the
state. N. c. Maris. Field Work
