SCHOOL STARTS

1t was too much for a score of
youngsters today who left mothers
protection for the classroom.
Entraining to school today for
the first time in their lifetime,
these children, some of whom en-.
tered the kindergartens and others
of whom went to the first grade,
disliked the classroom SO much
that they broke into tears.
These tears will be quickly as
suaged, according to Robert L.
Haycock, assistant superintendent
of schools, who declared that the
children will soon learn that the
schoolroom is not a place of
drudgery but rather a place af-
fording pleasant surroundings.
Many children, Mr.. Haycock
said, have been brought up under
certain prejudices which have
given them a mortal dislike for
the teacher and her sanctum. A
few days at school, however. he
continued, will eradicate this early
impression.

GRAPE HARVEST
CUTS PRICES

Here's good news for the home
vine makers, pesimistic as it may
be for the grape grower.
The Department of Agriculture,
in the 1881 outlook, released to-
day, states that grape growers
face difficult marketing condi-
tions for the next several years.
Production has passed the peak,
bearing acreage is still so large
that with normal weather condi-
tions there is such a surplus of
grapes in prospect as to cause
difficulties in marketing and a
continuation of low prices, the
survey states.
During 1880 in California alone,
the survey states, production
amounted to 2,O91, 900 tons, with
100000 tons unharveSted But
even with this unharvested crop.
according to the report, fresh
grape shipments met with distress
in marketing and very low prices
prevailed.

FRAYED BOOKS

With the ending of the first
semester of the school year, nu
merous complaints have been re.
ceived by school officials from
parents of children regarding the
rejection of textbooks issued
gratuitously at the beginning Of
the year to high school students,
Books Are Ready
The text books, issued free for
the first time this year under the
new free textbook law, are nov
ready for distribution to students
for the second term of the year.
Some of them ragged and most
of them a bit frayed from the
wear and tear in the pursuit Of
knowledge, the books have been
rejected in the schools on the
grounds that they are unfit for
further use.
Although these matters of ad
justment have aroused complaints
from parents, none has yet been
referred to Stephen E. Kra'
mer, assistant superintendent of
schools in charge of secondary
education. He said today:
Is Public Trust"
"The issuance of the text
books free is a public trust to
the students. They should be
taught to regard it as such and
desist from the mutilation of
the public property. If the pa
rent refuses to pay for a mutt
lated book and the matter is ad-
juSted by the principal to
please the parent, the child is
