DISTRICT SCHOOLS TO
OPEN SEPTEMBER II

With instructors and officials
coming in every day the offices OF
Ernest l. Thurston, superintendent
OF education, present a busy scene
as preparations are being made for
the opening Of the city schools,
which will take place on the seven
teenth OF the month.
superintendent Thurston is con-
vinced that the greatly increased
population OF Washington will mean
a considerable increase in school at
tendance over last year.
When asked If war conditions
would tend to cut the average at
tendance, he said: ''It is probable that
the high school may lose a few
of the older pupils. but we expect
to go on with the school work as
before"
Asked whether Red Cross work
would be undertaken in the schools
this year, Mr.. ThurstOn said that
IL is probable work along these lines
will be done. Quite a bit Of Red
Cross work was done in the city
schools last session by both boys
and girls. Later developments will
decide just what is to be done along
this line this year.
Mr.. ThUrston expressed the desire
that parents OF school children keep
in close touch with the schools and
the work they are doing. II am
a strong believer in newspaper pub
licity as an aid to this end" he
said.

900 persons on the mining situation.
The turnstile at the Fairgrounds gate
showed that exactly 1884 persons at
tended the mass meeting.
In her home town of Missoula, Miss
Rankin was also accorded an ovation,
and addressed an open-air meeting.
In waging her fight for better pay
and better working conditions for the
miners, Miss Rankin pointed out that
practices of the Anaconda and other
copper companies in Montana were
holding up the production of copper,
which is essential to the conduct of
the war. The worst ractice, she
pointed out, is the wrestling card
system by which the copper com
panies eyade the law as to black

Miss Rankin is urging that thu
wrestling card" system be abolished,
that the just demands of capital
be respected by labor, and that tho
just demands OF labor be respected by
