"Thc opening enrolment of the
city schools on Monday totaled 1,182
pupils exclusive of kindergarten"
stated Supt w. A. Stacey. 1.-THE

work done and because OF Its being
Labor Day which kept quite num-
her out The morning was spent in
securing enrolment data and In or
ganixing rooms, grades and classes
for work on Tuesday. The schools
were not In session in the afternoon.
"Enrollment In the elementary
schools covering the first six grades
orals 526, distributed AZ follows:
Garfield 296, Lincoln 12S, Mckinley

remarkably evenly, room enrolment

There has been slight falling
Off In the size Of entering classes
from the 9Th to the Freshman class

tirely temporary and accidental. The
large size Of classes in the Junior
school In the It'll and 9Th grades
shows this to be 30. The number Of
country students enrolled In high

last year. The remarkable uniform

lieve that no other high schol can
show such uniformity In size Of
classes throughout the four years."

The homelier woman becomes,
the gayer she is.
The Washington times., 1922-07-23
No. 6

A HUSBAND should be generous and
~ thoughtful in giving his wife every
thing he can afford, and he should
show great interest in her clothes, espe-
cially those which she wears when she is
alone with him. He should make her al
ways feel that her greatest pleasure is Sc
cured by pleasing his eye and his ear and
his mind. He should let her understand
that he appreciates all the daintiest re-
finements, and so encourage her to be al
ways delectable to him.
In the beginning he ought to express
just as plainly as she did what he does not
like in her-and then he ought to praise
her and make her feel pleased with herself
whenever he legitimately can.
Morose, mulshly silent men are never
adored, and grudging of kind words with
ers love, even when it started warmly.
II only men could realize this, scores of
marriages could be successes which are
now failures!
Some seem actually determined never
to say nice or complimentary thing to
their wives, while they are quite lavish
with sweet words to other women.
Many men seem to imagine that no eff
fort is needed on their parts to be good
husbands-that they can take a young
girl filed with ideals and tenderness and
crush them all out and bring the tie of
marriage down to sordid humdrum level,
and yet expect her to come up to every
standard which makes for their own COM
fort and pleasure. They obtain what
they desire, but the poor woman is left
utterly unsatisfed in her mind and soul
me craving for such satisfaction having
been perhaps the main reason that caused
her to enter the bonds of matrimony.
