The public school opened Mon
day with total enrolment of 286.
This will be increased to 800 by
Snaxt week. This is about the same
Total as a year ago. There is =
remarkable increase in the high
school enrollment and Z slight
decrease in the grades.
In 1918 the high school opened
with 81 students.
In 1919 the high school opened
with 81 students.
In 1920 the high school opened
with 76 students.
The senior class is the second
largest in the history of the insti-
tuition, being 10 in number. In
1909 there were % among the
graduates, the next largest class
being 16. It will be necessary to
put additional seats in the assem-
bly, room to hold the students
This increase is due mainly to the
fact that all of the grade students
are going to high school.
Before the organization OF the
junior high school a large number
of students dropped out of the
eighth and ninth grades. Many
freshmen failed because of the
new methods of study in the ninth
grade. Now students become ac-
customed to high school methods
in the seventh and eighth grades
and the failures in the freshman
class are no more in number than
those in other high school classes.
A number of new students who
have Just moved to Idaho Springs
from other localities have en-
rolled. Most Of the non resident
students come from Dumont and
Evergreen.
The students have entered upon
the work of the year with great
enthusiasm. Preparations are now
being made for basket ball and
volley ball. A new dramatic club
is shortly to be organized by Prin-
cipal Clark. Mr.. McCulley is
making plans to organize an or
cbestra.

WILSON MESSAGE
ON ARMENIA GIVES
CONGRESS A JOLT
Request for Power to Take
Over Mandate a Surprise
to Both Parties.
By DdUid Laurence.
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
ninu WORLDLY

WASHINGTON. May s5 Copy
right, 192O).-President Wilson has
tossed another football into the
gridlron of treaty controversy.
His request that Congress &C
cept the mandate or trusteeshlp
over the newly established Republic
of Armenia revives the pro and con
Of the League OF Nations debate,
though in this instance the President
uses the expressed interest Of the
Senate in the fate OF Armenia as a
vehicle for the Introduction OF con-
crete measures Of assistance for the
distressed Armenians.
The action OF the President was re-
ceived with mingled surprise and
doubt in the ranks OF the Democrats
as well as the Republicans. The
President took no one in his conn.,
dence. He neither consulted leaders
of his own party in Congress as to
the probable sentiment there, nor did
he broach the matter to certain
members Of the Cabinet who would
be vitality concerned with the ad-
ministration Of a mandate should it
be- accepted.
The feeling persists that Mr.. Will
son is merely following out a moral
commitment which he entered into
at Paris at his informal conversa-
tions with the statesmen of Europe.
At that time he felt absolutely sure
that America would do her part in
preserving the peace Of the world
and particularly IL helping to their
feet the people of the newly hber-
ated countries like Armenia.
The Presidents task in acting as
arbitrator OF the boundaries Is strictly
within the Executives jurisdiction
and involves no consent on the part

WAR TO THE FINISH.

The Merchants Association started
this afternoon to raise a fund Of $780,
900 to be used by an independent
trucking corporation in a fight against
the interlinked strikes of labor organi-
cations which have all but paralyzed
the handling of merchandise in transit
into and out OF New York.
More than 1000 members of the
association met at special luncheon
at the Hotel Astor to act on the trans
portation problem. About 500 more,
unable to get seats for the luncheon,
filled the galleries and ante rooms. The
consensus Of the principal addresses
was a declaration of war against the
labor organizations which are accused
Of trying to establish despodc control
Of the city's commerce by decreelng
what merchandise shall be transported
and what shall not.
At the plate of each guest was a
pledge card with blanks TO be filled
in with the amount of his subscrip-
ton. 1t was agreed that the con-
trFbutions would not be collected un-
less the total Of the subscriptions
reached 100000.
The money is to be used by the
trucking concern. formed by the Citi-
zen's Transportation Committee.
A special table was set aside for

tion," he declared. ANY one who is

and promptly leave the meeting"

Mr.. Morgan said that the chaotic
transportation had brought about

that this combination must be 1c-
