GRADUATING CLASS
25 PER CENT LARGER

With indications pointing to an in
crease Of approximately 25 per cent
in the graduating classes of the gram
mar schools Of the county over those
of last year, it is estimated that the
graduating classes this year are lar
ger than in any year in the past. Two
hundred and sixteen children will have
completed the grammar school course,
according to the present estimate, and
a number of schools have not yet re-
ported.
OF the - schools in the county. the
graduating class from the grammar
schools of this city is nearly double
that of Imperial and Holtville From
FL Centro 40 children will graduate
from the grammar schools and in I'M
perial and Hotville 23 will qualify for
entrance into the high schools.
The graduating classes in the vari-
Gus schools in the county are as fol.
lows: Holtville. %; Pichacho, /; La

first to suffer on account of the war.
Switzerland was filled with stranded
travellers and with refugees from the
war zones of the nefghboring countries.
Many of them had to be helped by the
different communities.
BY this time something like normal
conditions have been restored, and while
the revenue from travellers may not be
during the coming season what it was
year ago. yet as the one white spot
ON the black war map, with easy com
munication to the belligerents. Swift
Zerland is likely'to have a fairly large
number of visitors who will make the
different resorts their headquarters
while awaiting opportunities for ex-
cursions into the warning countries.
Switzerland suffers through the war
because of the difficulty of getting raw
material for her industries. In peace
times France is the country through
which much of the overseas material
is brought although part also comes
through Genoa, across Italian territory.
These channels of communication
have not been completely closed, but
the difficulties surrounding them have
interfered seriously with the normal
movement.
If the raw material could be obtained
freely, Swiss manufactured products
might not be SO greatly curtailed in the
world markets, since many of them
are specialties, the demand for which
is not interrupted by war.
Raw materials which Switzerland i'm
ports in the largest quantities are coal,
