Nearly One-Fourth Of County's
Students Attend High School

"If Benton county had had eight
more students in the high school last
year, one-fourth Of all the school chill
dren in that county would have been
attending high school. That IL TO say,
practically one pupil in every four who
attended school In Benton county last
year, was high school student, " said
Superintendent Of Public Instruction,
J. A. Churchill, recently. This in
formation 10 contained in the annual
report Of County Superintendent Roy
e. Cannon, which was recently filed
with the state department Of educa-
tion.
The fact that any county in Oregon
has one-fourth Of its pupils enrolled In
the high schools is considered a re-
markable showing. in view Of the fact
that the United States as whole, less
than z per cent Of the children get into
the high school, according to the last
report Of the United States commits

ance reports from many other counties
are almost equally encouraging. Mr..

British Munilieas Oalput Quite
Sufficient for Self and Allies

London-Reviewing the work Of the
munitions department In the house Of
commons recently, Edwin Samuel
Montagu, minister Of munitions, after
telling Of the immense increase In out
puts Of all kinds OF guns and muni-
tions, informed the house that all rifles
and machine guns for the armies In
the field were being Supplied entirely
from home resources. The quality OF
the guns and munitions, he said. was
equal to the quantity. This statement,
he added, was particularly true Of the
heavy guns and howitxers. Mr.. Mon
tagu pointed out that half Of the en-
geering resources Of the country were
required for the navy but declared that
very shortly Great. Britain will have
provided for her own requirements and
be able to devote herself exclusively q
the wants Of her alilea In regard 70
machine guns. Already. he said. she
was sending large amounts of guns and
munitions to her allies.

Had the committe declined to yield
on the amendment the Democratic sen

the surtax on incomes exceeding ga
OOO. 900 from 10 to IS per cent Is re-
tained. The caucus voted down pro-
posals to make the surtax as high as
is, 20 and even rs per cent, as some
