Franklin Seen. Of Activity.

4lNN hNb suL VNh
Instituted where congestion is
| threatened.
FRANKLIN Scene of Activity.
For the last week the Franklin
School. headquarters for the school
administration of the District, has
been a beehive Of activity. Teach
ideas for improvement in. the sys-
tenn have been considered by off,
cials. innumerable questions have
bGep answered both at the infor-
nation bureau in the school and in
the Offices Of the officials.
Conferences and the compilation
of reports, estimates and other rou-
tine matters have dispelled the va
cation atmosphere completely for
Superintendent of Schools Ballou
and stephen Z. Kramer, assistant
SUPERINTENDENT.
Throughout the city school build
! ings, janitors have been busy the
last few weeks preparing the
schools for fall and winter ocou-
pancy, securing, polishing and dust
ing.
School Atmosphere Apparent.
Newly purchased supplies FIJI the
warerooms of the Board Of Educa-
tion and the smell of newly printed
textbooks pervades the atmosphere
Heating systems have been com-
| pletely overhauled and repaired
where necessary to insure comfort
during the overcoat months.
1t is expected the two-shift sys-
tenn will accommodate the expected
increased enrolment for the high
schools. Adoption OF the two shift
syste will mean shorter periods OF
instruction and earlier opening and
| later closing hours
Eastern High, which will be oper-
ated entirely on the two-shift sys-
tenn, will have two sessions; one for
upper classmen from $40 a. m. To
1910 p. m. and one for Freshmen II
from to o'clock in the afternoon
At Business High, freshmen stu
dents only will have the part-time
schedule. This system has been
tried out in other cities and has
been found OF great assistance TO
students who desire to work their
way through high school by holding
an outside positlen.
Although school officials intend te
ask Congress for appropriations for
additional facilities in December il
is believed funds now on hand will
be sufficient for efficient mainte-
nance until the end of the hsca
year.

some days later. after the vote OF
both houses had been certified 10
the Secretary OF State by the COVER
nor and the adoption Of the Nine
teenth amendment had been pro-
claimed. They made quorum in
the house by their presence. and
| finding that they and their associate
opponents Of suffrage had forty

absence Of. four or five suffrage
supporters. they tried TO undo what
had been done.
KILLED First Vote.
They exPunged from the record
the vote by which the molten to re-
consider the suffrage vote had been
. voted down on the ground that
there had been no quorum present
when the vote was taken They
then proceeded to reconsider the
original vote in favor Of the suf-
frase resolution and to vote the
! resolution down.
The generally accepted view has
been that this proceeding is futile,
does not invalidate the original
vote and does not affect the ador-
! ton Of the amendment as pro-
claimed. The precedent relied on is
that furnished by the ratification Of
the Fifteenth amendment. One New
York legislature approved the
amendment. Its successor voted it
down. Thereafter the amendment
was proclaimed as adopted by rta-
son Of the first vote. The accepted
| holding being that when State
legislature has once approved an
amendment it cannot withdraw
from its ratification. 1t is ques-
tonable, however, whether such a
rrecedert applies to a vote in
favor OF resolution. WHEN under
! the rules of the legislative body
: tho resolution is retained by a mo
tion to reconsider, as it was here.

Hyder Alaska miner., 1920-07-07

Officials of the Siberian Commer- cial company have declared that they will make early additions to their present fleet, one steamer of which, the Gedney is now running regularly to Hyder, the new gold and silveE camp at the head of Portland Canal, says the Alaska Dispatch. It was learned that an- other ship is to be purchased within two or three weeks. Negotiations for her transfer to the company are now under way,
 The business we have already done with the Hyder district fully justifies our forthcoming purchase of another freight ship Secretary Hanford said to the Dispatch. The camp looks Ike a winner, and tons upon tons of machinery, food and other supplies are going north on every trip of the Gedhey. We are g tting another ship to help her"
 Before the year is out the com pany expects to have five and pos si5ly i4 ships in service, two on the Arctic trading run and three or four in the Hyder and Portland Canal service.
