The enrolment will be material
ly increased within another month.
All members of the faculty were
on hand for the teachers meeting
called for Saturday morning by
Supt. H. A. Falk. Monday was
devoted to registration and class
assignments. Tuesday morning the
real work of the year started, and
is now progressing very smoothly.
Class periods in the upper grades
and Senior High have been in
creased from forty minutes to one
hour. The new arrangements make
daily 6 hourly periods, with addi-
tional time for the passing of class
es. This new plan will permit super
vised study in both the Senior and
Junior High Schools. Better re-
suits are expected from the new
system. The change was made nee
essary because of outside activities
conflicting with home study. This
change has been put into effect in
practically all of the progressive
school systems of the country. IN
der the new order of things the
school hours will be as follows:
Kindergarten: 900 to HOO A.
M; 100 to 3:15 p M.
First and Second Grades, 900 to
11:45 A. M; 100 to 3:45 P. M.
Upper Grades, Junior and Senior
High School: $40 to 11:55 A. M;
1855 to 4:O5 P. M.

 French Have Central ShrincS
 Everywhere the pilgrims go in France they will find in the cities, towns and even the lowliost villages. Shrines erected to the memory of tn 2ir sons who fell iii the war. It is at these that French mothers worship rather than at the graves proper, because for many thousands of them it is i'm possible to tell where their own sons graves are.
 From the mothers and widows oi France, the American pilgrims will receive the most respectful sympathy and consideration. There IS hardly home in France that was not hurt by the war, and these people will understand.

 In the American military ceme- terles alone are the graves mark cd with marble crosses, which arc set in foundation as nearly per- manent as possible. The alignment IS perfect, and the men lie side by side, regardless of rank or religion. the most careful attention, and above Drives, walks and gardens are given each cemetery flies Old Glory on high mast, proudly indicating that this is a part Of America.
 In the vast French and British ccmteries the graves are marked with white crosses. The German cemeteries in eastern France are distinguishable by their black crosses. Military and economic circumstances, as well as the gen. eral confusion immediately after the close of the war, made it inn possible for other governments to undertake the comprehensive scheme of preservation which the United States has seen through 10 such a glorious achievement.
