How Rules Governing Travel, Study
and Dining Are Broken.
Though going to foreign countries by
crossing the ocean is to break ones
caste, hundreds of young Indians are
now visiting Europe and America in
pursuit of modern scientific and indus
trial education. Indeed, so numerous
are the families affected that public
opinion has compelled the Brahmans
to ordain that no loss of caste shall re-
suit from going abroad for education.
The step next contemplated, says the
Century Magazine, is to have mer-
chants and other business men exemp-
ted from the ban. 1t is certain that
in time all classes Of travellers will be
exempted.
1t is not SO much the going abroad
that is objected to as the eating of for
hidden food. as beef, pork and chicken
or any food cooked by foreigners. To
obviate partly this difficulty the Hin
dus organized a steamship line. the
Indian Peninsula company, between
Bombay and London. On board the

tends to open a hotel in London for
the caste people of India. so that Hin
du students, merchants and travellers
may go to London, reside for any
length of time and still return home
without breaking their caste.
Caste rules prohibit people of differ
ent castles dining together. These rules.
however, are broken by the rising gen

INCREASED ENROLMENT OVER
CORRESPONDING TINE N 1914

Figures compiled today hN Acting
Superintendent Hampton show that
every school in the city has an in
creased enrolment over the cores
ponding time last year. The total en-
rollmept today is 11O4 and on the
third day OF school in 1914 the total
enrolment was 1890.
Because of the congestion in the
primary room of the Hawthorne,
Washington and Lincoln schools, the
old Field school on West Alta street
will probably be reopened Monday
morning to take care of the over
flow. In the primary room of the
Hawthorne school alone, there are
over 60 pupils while the attendance
in the others is well past the normal,
Thirty-five pupils is fixed MS the max
imum for one primary teacher and
the opening of the Field school win
give about that number in each of the
four rooms. A new teacher win be
secured to take the overflow class,
Adjustments will be made in the dis
tributlon of the primary pupils So
that, so far as possible, they can at
tend the school closest to their home,
The following figures show the en-
rollment for this year and the corres-
ponding day one year ago,

Clean up for the Roundup!
That is the edict sent forth by the

that the Roundup this year is draw
