DIR. Kober realized living con-
ditions in the world today. He
saw the way in which children
were growing up; he recognized
the way in which money was
being spent for unnecessary food;
he looked into the future, and
saw the disastrous results Of these
conditions. He decided that tho
younger generation would be the
one to educate. Knowing that
Tech" had a course in Domestic
Science. he thought he could slim
ulate interest in our Tech" girls
through contests.
DIR. Kober insisted that the re-
quirements for the contests should
involve hard work on the part OF
the contestants: as his aim was
not merely the giving away OF the
money, but to arouse interest for
social betterment.

Freshmen to High Schools
With Capacity EnrolImsnts.
BY JAMES B. ASwELL, Jr.
m HE already overcrowded
Il District high schools found
themselves caring for an
other influx Of new pupils with
the beginning of the February
term last week.
These young people will OF
course have to be accommodated
in some manner. The double
shift" system, in operation for
the past several years in order
that the Overlooking streams OF
rockies" might be taken care
Of, will be used to an even
greater extent than heretofore,
in spite Of the fact that WASH
ington school officials declare
themselves opposed to the
scheme.
Practically ell Of the freshmen
In the high schools will be forced
to attend school from 1880 to 3
o'clock. P. NJ. This is not the
most desirable schedule. but 1t
seems to be the only way In which
the TREMENDOUS enrollments can
be taught. with present high school
facilities.
NEW TEACHERS ENROLLED.
A score of new teachers will OF
necessity be employed in the
senior schools. Exactly how many
can not be determined at the
present time. 1t can. however, be
safely estimated, that the number
of first semester pupils starting
now is in the vicinity of 1000; pro-
baby close to 1850.
The number OF children in the
public schools of this city seems
to be steadily on the increase.
Nearly all the high schools have
been enrolling In the neighbor-
hood Of twice the number Of pupils
It was intended they should &C
commodate, this being made posi-
BILE by the two-shift system alone.
The elementary grades are also all
overcrowded.
There have been numerous pro-
tests received from parents and
others about children being forced
to go to school from noon until
after s o'clock. and It is hoped that
smetime In the near future this
necessary inconvenience may be
remedied.
NEW SCHOOLS WILL HELP.
The big new Eastern High.
which is contemplated for a few
years hence, is expected to do
much toward alternating this situa-
ton. Several new grammer school
buildings are also expected to be
completed within the year.
However. until the Board Of
Education Is able to help matters
1t is up to the pupils themselves
to do everything in their power to
make the administration Of their
respective schools run smoothly.
Many are doing this by sharing
lockers with the new entrants,
and helping them in other ways.
The first few semesters are always
a ticklish period for young stu
dents in the high schools, and 1t is
up to the more advanced pupils to
show them the little considerations
that make the road easier.

agement He had a conference last
week with the Minnesota tax COM
mission all of whom two years ago
were opposed to any modification of
the gross earnings law when he at
tended the legislature in the inter
est of school district No. 2 and he
says that they are now convinced
that Two Harbors and Proctor are
entitled to some sort of relief and
even went as far as to offer sugges
tions that would assist in bringing
it about and offered their services
to that end at the meeting of the
Legislature. Mr.. Compton cited some
interesting facts which he has gath
cred from the records in the Office
of the tax commission which has no
doubt had more influence on the
commission than any other Of the
vast array of figures which he has
at his disposal. Range cities he
says levy 60.44 mills to raise s164.39
tax revenue per capita; the average
of seventy-seven other states scat
tered over the state levy 5l.55
mills to raise $31.89 per capita
while Proctor on account of her
large railroad property valuation
is forced to levy $3.50 mills to raise
S16.12 per capita and Two Harbors
is forced to levy S4.21 mills and
only raises s14.47 per capita for
school and city purposes. The fig
ures according to Mr. Compton are
part of the records of the tax COM
mission and while not exact are ap-
proximate and are the most con-
vincing data he has of the injustice
of the workings of the gross earn
ings law"
