WEST MILFORD.

WEST MILFORD, Sept. 12.-The
West Milford school opened Monday.
Considering the fact that this is only
its third year, the enrolment is large,
in fact, larger than was anticipated.
Still more are expected to enter. the
first of the week. The large enroll
ment and bright prospects are due to
the untiring efforts Of the many
friends of the high school, and espec-
tally of its principal, Mr.. Hawkins.
Many thanks are due Superintendent
Morrison for his earnest support
and efforts in securing new students.
The teachers are thoroughly COM
petent ones, having thorough knowl-
edge Of the subjects and sincere de-
sire for the advancement of the
school, and working for the interests
and welfare of the students. No bet
ter faculty could have been secured.
With the outlook the year cannot
fail to be a highly successful one, and
one of which all may justly be proud.

MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS.

Race statistics of the last census

rector Of the census. in an address de-
livered before q meeting of the An
thropological society the other day at
the New National museum. III
During the decade from 1900 to
1910 the white population Of the Unit
ed States increased ~ per cent,
while the colored increased only IL
per cent, and most Of this difference
was due to the immigration of the for
mer in the absence of which the
whites would have increased only
about IA per cent" Mr.. Durand said.
1.-THE INDIAN" continued the speak
er, ''has increased about II per cent.
the Chinese have decreased in num-
bers. and the Japanese have nearly
trebled." i. 49,
'In practically every census taken
the whites have shown more rapid
increase than the colored." said Mr..
Durand. There has been no great
migration Of the negroes from the
south, and nine-tenths Of their total
number are found in that section. The
natural rate Of increase-7that IL. the
excess OF births over deaths among
the white population Of the south-is
much higher than that Of che colored,
and Of the whites In the north.
Among all classes Of the popula.
