Westminster High School

Westminster High School opened
Monday, September 10Th, with the
largest enrolment in it's history.
While the attendance on the first day
last year was AS, this year It was
t2O9. Thirty-one in the graduating
class, 90 in the third year, 81 III tne
second, and 81 in the first.
This increase in the number OF
students forces the immediate pre-
paration of a room in the old armory
to accommodate the third division OF
the first year class, and requires an
other teacher to do High School
work. -
In the Stewart Building 80 pupils
are taking the Commercial Cuorse in
a room crowded last year with only
20 pupils. Since new heating
plant has not been installed in this
building these pupils and all the
East End Primary children will sut-
fer greatly from the cold as soon as
severe winter weather sets in.
The influx Of students this year
assuredly proves the growing popu-
larity OF the Public High School,
shows the desire of parents to have
their children trained in this most
democratic of educatio institu-
tons and indicates at least some dp-
proval of the efforts to make this
High School less like the classical
academies Of fifty years ago. Yet the
public should know that Westminster
High School can not in the most
modem sense be made an efficient
educational plant SO long as the
present conditions of buildings,
equipment and grounds prevail.
The proper organization can not

High School classes are located In
three buildings instead Of one; time
j. inevitably lost, some confusion OF
necessity results, library and labora-
tory facilities can not be fully utlllz-
ed when the High School work is
conducted in widely separated
rooms; High School student life can
not be most effective for future good
citizenship so long as High School
nupils. intermediate Pupils, and Pri-
mary pupils are housed in the same
buildings.
Supervised play-and the, place of
play i'm the schedule needs no de-
tense, supervised play is impossible
for so many pupils on so small

Dodge Ball and End Ball, and the

HEROES FROM "MELTIN G. POT" OF
new YORK ARE WELCOMED HOME

NEW YORK, May TWENTY-FIVE
thousand men drawn from fifty ma
tionalities among the polygot popula-
ton of New York, who less than two
years ago were engaged in humble
pursuits unknown to fame, returned
to the metropolis today as heroes of
the bloody battles of the Argone for
est, and million or more fellow
citizens frantically cheered them as
they marched triumphantly up Fifth
Avenue as the Seventh-seventh or
Liberty division. It was the only di
vision in the American army re-
cru:ted entirely from one city and it
included a greater number than any
other division of men of foreign
birth
OF all the divisions that fought I'M
der General Pershing in France, none
was more democratic. army officers
said, and even the gallant commander,
Major General Robert Alexander, dec
Grated for bravery on the field of bat
tie, rose from ranks. The As officers
and 112 privates who were awarded
the distinguished service cross in
cluded all nationalities and untried,
hastily trained soldiers, many of
whom never before knew a real patri-
otism for their adopted country, prov
ed their stalwart America nism under
fire, and officers said. justified the
melting pot"
The division marched through solid
lanes of humanity from Washington
Square to 10th street in battalion
formation, sixteen abreast, with only
four feet between the companies. 1t
was a style of marching new to New
York and the forest of glistening bay
onets, moving rhythmically up the
| flag bedecked avenue presented a
soul-stirring panorama. The dough
boys were in light marching order
and wore their jaunty overseas caps
| with campaign "tin-hats" slung from
| the back.
Originally it was planned to have
, thirty thousand in the line Of march,
