| As Tar as could | definitely sscer-
tanned today. only one high school
principal has completed plans for car
ing for new students to arrive at
his institution from the elementary
schools. He is Charles Hart. pilot of
the Eastern High School His insti-
tuition is one of those that are run
ming on the two-shift system. and
which is destined to increase its en-
rollment by at least 110 January 81.
Figures produced by Mr.. Hart show
that ten students are due to gradu-
ate from Eastern at the mtdyear com
mencements, while 120 new students
from the graded schools are sched-
uIed to enroll. making an increase
of no Mr.. Hart said he had solved
his new students in afternoon classes
and asking for several additional
teachers. He Is Of the opinion that
his school will be able to cope with
the heavy increase in enroliments un-
til the new Eastern High School is
formally opened September. 1922.
May Adopt Twe-shift Plan.
Authorities at the Franklin
School believe that in other senior
institutions where the enrollments
are due for a heavy increase they
will be compelled to adopt Mr.. Hart's
plan. They contend that in the
schools where the two-shift system is
in operation it will not be as hard
to provide room for the new students
as it will be in others that have not
instituted such a plan.
Mckinley Manual Training School
probably will be one Of the institu-
tions to adopt the two-shift system
next semester. Such a plan now is
receiving the serious consideration of
officials. and 1t was pointed out that
it's establishment there in September
was obviated only by sending all the
freshman students to the Junior High
School at 7th and o streets.
The problem of preparing accom-
modations for new pupils in the ele-
mentary schools next semester, Off
Gals believe, is not 80 serious as the
one facing them relative to the high
schools. They feel that only COM
paratively few children will be en-
rolled in the graded schools at this
time, and no definite plans need be
worked out until after they are en-
tered. This is due. one official said, to
the fact that parents having children
ready to enter school usually wait
until September to send them.

FRANCE PROPOSES CUT
IN LEAGUE SALARY LIST
Reduction Believed to Be justified,
as Many Members Are Now
Delinquent in Dues.

Cross-Atlantic Gable Service to The Star
PARIS, December 27.-France is
getting ready to move for drastic re-
ductions in the salary budget of tho
league of nations.
Sir Eric Drummond, the secretary
general, draws $4,000 a year; Albert
Thomas. the French head of the labor
section, $4,000: two undersecretaries,
$50, 900 each. and deputy secretary
general. $4,000. Forty-eight mem
bers of various commissions receive
from 5000 to $1,000 each. while many
lesser officials receive from $4,000, to
$1,000 each
France regards this list as a public
scandal, and will act to have it out,
especially in view of the fact that
so many members Of the league are
delinouent in their dues

Theodor Wolf, editor Of the Tase-

Political questions such as hound

tions seemed to be of less interest
to the senator, although he has had
ample opportunities to, make a
study. of the hates and jealousies
that are moking the reconstruc-'
ton of central Europe an extreyne-
ly difficult task. If he broached the
league of nations question in. any
of these countries, and especially
Germany he has probably learned
that in it's present form it is not
popular.
