All Central Union high school
students, who have not previously
enrolled for the coming school year,
are urged to do so before school
opens, according to Don w. Ket-
chen. vice principal, who will be
in the office all day Sept. IL. 13,
IA, Is and will take care of new
students at that time.
1t is very important that stud
, ents and parents cooperate with the
authorities in the careful planning
of the course of study. Over go
subjects are offered during the four
years Of high school, SO that it is
essential to plan a selection well
adapted to ones needs" the vice
principal stated.
THE present curriculum is divid-
ed into six courses of study, name
ly, college preparatory, scientific,
manual arts, agriculture, CONNER
cial, and general. This variety of
courses is well able to provide for
the abilities and interests found in
high school students. 1t is a mis-
taken impression that it is abso-
lutely necessary to take the college
preparatory course in order to con-
tinue ones education beyond high
school. Many agricultural, mechan-
ical and commercial schools do not
require all the formal subjects CIV
en- in a strictly college prepara-
tory course
"The modern high school IS not
operated only for the benefit CT
the small percentage Of students
who enter college and universities
but attempts to give some worth
while training TO all. High school
population has increased from Al
per cent of the pupils Of high
school age, in l839-1900 to TAB pei
cent in 1926-27 The older type
school being highly selective took
little interest in the eliminated
student Or those liable TO be elm
: mated. 1t is the duty of our pres
ent democratic high school to take
an active interest in all student:
and try and provide them with
some type Of useful training.
1T is now possible to secure -four
years work in agriculture in our
local school. This department il
one Of the strongest in the organ
ization as It should be in an agri.
cultural community. Woodwork
auto and tractor, forge, metal work
welding and machine shop are 9th
er subjects which can be taken il
connection with the course in agri.

ARL|Ss FILM
RANKS AMONG
REAL LEADERS

THE House of Rothschild,"
George Arliss' first vehicle under
his new contract with 20th Century
Pictures, came to the United Ar
lists Theatre yesterday and. here
indeed is picture of which Holly
wood may be justly proud Yester-
days audience was the most en-
thusiastic with which it has been
this reviewers privilege to view a
picture in many movie moon.
This is unquestionably George
Arliss' best film, the finest pro-
duction which Joseph M. Schenck
and Daryl F. zanuck's young goth
Century Pictures company has con-
tributed during its year of exis-
tence, and the most important pic
ture to come out of Hollywood this
season.
The story, which Nunnally john
son based on a play by George
Hembert Westley is an ideal sub
ject for Arliss, tracing as it does
the fascinating history of the
Rothschild family, whose devotion
and unity resulted in their SEN
sational rise to wealth and power.
and providing for Arliss the role of
Mayer the founder and later, his
son Nathan, the head of the family.
Although the film focuses on the
manner in which Nathan enabled
the Allies to conquer Napoleon,
and gives a splendid picture of the
period, it happily follows the recent
trend of such pictures to stress the
intimate, human side of epoch
making events and the joys and
heartaches of the people who were
the leading actors and actresses in
them.
The cast is so huge and imposing
that it would be impossible to give
individual credit to each of the
supporting actors who contributed
an outstanding portrayal, but spec
ial credit must be given to Boris
Karloff as the villainous Ledrantz;
Loretta Young as Julie; Robert
Young as Fitzroy; c.. Aubrey Smith
as wellington, Helen Westley as the
mother of the Rothschild; :, Flor
ence Arliss as Hannah; Reginald
Owen as Herries; and Alan Now
bray as Metternich.

DOCTOR URGES
|NNUN|ZAT|ON
FOR CHILDREN

Dr. Warren F. Fox, county health
officer today pointed out the i'm
portance o. parents seeing that
their children who are entering
school for the first time be, i'm
munized against diphtheria a and
vaccinated against smallpox. The
doctor stated that one dose pre-
ventive injection of alum precipi-
tated toxoid is now being generally
used throughout the country by
health officers and practicing ply
sicians. In other words the child
rem need receive only one pro-
tective treatment to be immunized
against dyphtheria. 4,
DR.. Fox also stated that FREE
quently children are protected
against these two diseases sim
ultaneously and that no i'll effects
have been observed from this
method, vaccination being per-
formed on one arm and immuniza-
ton given in the other.
He urged that all parents whose
children have not been protected
against these two diseases take
their children to the family ply
sician and have these protective
treatments given.

culture. These departments do not
turn out highly trained tradesmen
but they do give great deal of
practical training for future farm
ers and mechanics.
Valuable commercial training
can also be secured. Two years Of
typewriting, bookkeeping and stem
ography are given; also office train
ing and advanced typewriting prac-
tice. Printing, sewing, cooking and
homemaking are other practical
courses which are often overlooked
by students and parents.
The greatest contributions the
high school can make are in the
field of character training. Health,
honesty, loyalty, willingness to CO.
operate, ability to evaluate, and
an appreciation of music, art, and
literature are very much worth
while detectives in an addition to
a knowledge CT subject matter

be furthered by participation in
activities in addition to regular
classroom work Athletics, debate,

QUIZ BOY IN
CHUM'S DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10. up
A high school boy, plainly fright
ened at being suspected of murder,
persisted in statements to police
questioners today that he killed his
chum, Clarence Mckay, II. acci-
dentally outside a crowded theater.
Despite statements of witnesses
that he and his chum were argu-
ing violently when they left the
theatre, Samuel TraVada, 10, said a
revolver which he believed con-
tanned blank cartridges exploded
when he opened it, killing Clarence
instantly. The shooting occurred
near the rear exit of the theatre.
Travada fled but was arrested
when he returned to the scene and
mingled with the crowd. He was
jailed on suspicion Of murder. The
boy said he obtained the gun from
a friend for a bottle of wine.

SUBDEB'S DRESSES I
RIVAL BIG SISTERS

Vibrant coats, suits and dresses
have been made this season for the
subdeb. With her shirtwaist dress,
floor-length evening wrap, and "host-
ess" gown, she needn't take back
seat when big sister is around.
Evening wraps designed especially
for her include white bengaline man.
DARN coat with jade dragon buttons
and a long, black velvet with white
fur puffs on the upper part of the
sleeves.
An unusual laced treatment marks
the neck of a black silk frock. The
lacing is spaced to give shirred, soft
drape to the neckline. Other dresses
for the jeune file are accented with
ruffs and draped crew collars.
Her evening frocks comprise a vel
vet creation with flowers clustered at
the throat, and one with white ribbed
metal cloth top and black skirt.

Shoes Are Going Higher
and Higher Up the Instep

With shoes going higher and higher
UP the instep. the matter Of trim fit
has become real problem. The whole
beauty of this extreme type of shoe
lies in the perfect nodded look over
the instep and around the ankle.
To meet this situation designers
have resorted to various expedients.
One exceedingly smart black suede
shoe, perfectly plain and mounting
well up on the ankle has narrow elias
tic insets on the side, after the man
ner of the old Congress CATERS. When
the shoe is pulled on 1t fits like glove
and Is exceedingly flattering to the
foot.

pedient which combines utility with
chic.
