schools will defer opening for about
two weeks TO enable the young people
to work on the farms and save the
crops. especially the apples. This
was decided at the meeting OF the
county school board held on Monday.
The nine months schools will open
on September II. while all the others.
the SIX. seven and eight months
schools. will open on October !,
The problem of securing teachers
for the schools remains an acute one,
and is expected to remain an acute
one for some time to come especially
for the one-room schools.

SECOND CLASS TRAVEL.
FAST VANISHING

London, Aug. 2l.--July marked the
London and Southern railway. Most
of the other English lines previously
had abolished the second class. Only
the Central and the Southeastern now
issue second class tickets.
The abolition Of the second class is
due partly to war conditions and partly
to the continuous decrease in second
class, long distance travel to about 2
per cent of the traffic. Saving of coal
by avoiding the haulage of partly filled
rolling stock. and uniformity of accom-
mediation throughout the line. will be
secured,
Second-ciass carriages will be con-
yerted to third class as soon as posi-
BILE, and until the alteration is made
will be available for third class pas
sengers.
