my Associated rress,


NEW YORK. Aug. 28.-On the
arrival of the United States Liner
Leviathan at this port from Cher
bourg and Southampton. seven
stowaways were discovered aboard,
two of whom were youths from
Key West, one being Lawrence
Hoag, IL. and the other, Parker
Van Ness.
All were Americans, and they
said they had selected the giant
American liner for patriotic"
reasons.
One of the stowaways, Hoag,
made the round trip, while the
other six were discovered after
the ship cleared European wa
tiers.
The others were Pablo Garcia
OF New York; Henry Olsen, Hat

1t is expected, moreover. that
federal emergency relief admin
iStration funds will be available in
pinch just as they were last year
when 100000 was distribut-
ed among 80 states to prevent the
CLOSING of schools in small towns
and rural districts.
Economic pressure mas not only
cut available revenue but it also
has increased enrollments in the
upper grades which are most ex-
pensive to operate, Foster says.
There were more than 1000, 900
more pupils in high school last year
than in 1880, and the prospect is
that the increase this year will be
considerably in excess of 100000
students.
Students, who in prosperous
times, left high school after the
second or third year to get posi-
tions in trade or industry, are re-
naming in school because there
are no jobs for them. Thousands
of children released from jobs by
elimination of child labor and 9TH
er thousands of post-graduatcs
have helped to swell the high
school population.

In spite of differences of Ian
