q A general trend upward in school
expenditures led educators to predict
today enriched opportunities for 80
100000 boys, girls and adults ex-
pected to enroll in public and private
schools this September.
officials at the Office Of Education
estimated that increases in school
budgets reported from the 48 States
will be reflected in slightly enlarged
teaching stats, additional school
materials and smaller per-pupil
teacher loads.
School building construction by the
Public Works Administration, addi-
tional Federal appropriations for oc-
cupational training under the George
Deem act. and continued student-a
through the National Youth Admins
ratlon also were credited with bright
sning the back-to-school picture.
Statisticians said there probably
would be little change in total enroll
ment They predicted a continued
rapid decrease in elementary school
population, due to the falling birth
rate. and an increase in high school
student bodies.
Their rough estimates for the divi-
sion Of public and private school popu-
ation in 1878 were:
klndergartens and elementary
schools, 22,850,000; high schools, g.
100000; colleges, l,BO,OOO.
E. NJ. Foster, statistical chief, said
that total public school enrolment,
which previously had been increasing
annually, decreased last year because
the drop in elementary schools was
greater than high school increases.
The 1886 public elementary total
was 20,39l $50, a decrease of 373,398
from 1884. High schools enrolled
b,a75, ,242 in 1886, an increase of 3O6,-
OBS over 1884. The net decrease was
673l2.
"A similar decrease is probable this
year" Foster said. I'VE estimate this
Falls enrolment in public elementary
schools at about 10000 less than last
year. The net decrease will depend
on the high school enrolment"

NOTE LEFT BY

BEFORE FLIGHT

LOS ANGELES, July 10. up
Los Angeles baseball team officials
today said Bobby Mattick, myster-
iously missing young baseball Short

indicating he was returning to st
Louis,
The letter, as revealed by the
roommate, Catcher Bob Collins
read:
I'm lonesome, I'm leaving for
st. Louis. I left couple of bats
and gloves and two sweat shirts in
my locker. viii you please send
them to me?
I'm disgusted with everything in
general. I do not think I will ever
be. good ball player. Give my
regards to Truck"

mystified over the departure of the
22-year-old player, for whom he
predicted a career in the majors

premier miller by the time the sun

I refer to John Woodruff, the hui
man clothespin from the University
of Pittsburgh Jonn already is the

ers of the Randall Island track,
snuggled beneath the girders OF
the mammoth Tri-Boro bridge, John
will take a flier at $3.50 feet which,
unless my third grade teacher was
up to some foolishment, constitutes
a mile.
Johns coach at Pittsburgh, a
gentleman named Olson, is OF the
opinion this his dusky charge is
capable of running the legs off
Archie San Romani, Glenn Gun
ningham, Gene Venzke, and all of
this country's other noted milers
Tomorrow will tell, because all
these boys will go to the post with
Woodruff, determined to teach him
that he has stepped out of his class.
I am of the opinion that John
will show them a thing or two.
never saw John run but twice, but
that was enough to convince me
that he was the galloping- thing
on two legs in the world. The
first time 1 saw him stride was in
the semi-finals of the 800 meter at
Berlin last summer. I was stand
ing by a window in the American
dressing room, deep in the bowels
of the great Riechsportfield sta
dium.
Woodruff, who was suffering
from a cold had been told to take
the semi-final race in stride, and
do no better than assure himself
Of a place in the finals. So he loaf

The trainers began prescribing

missed them curtly:

he said. When 1 was a little boy
my Mama made me eat a pintof
honey for a cold. Tonight, out
there at the dinner table, I will
snatch myself bottle Of honey and
drink it,"
1t must have been powerful hon.
ey, because he went to town in the
final. His rivals pocketed him hall
a dozen times but this didn't bother
John. He would simply swing out
the pocket, run to the outside of
the track, and start throwing those
long legs of his. He must have run
900 meters IN winning that race
but he won it in record time.
John also won place IN my book
with the salute he gave when he
was summoned on the winners
stand to get his medal and tree. Not
sure of just what kind of a salute
he should give. when the national
anthem was played, John gave all
the salutes known to mankind. He
gave off the Esperanto salute. II
must have pleased everybody, be-
cause it was a mixture of the Fas-
cist. Nazi, Soviet, French, English,
American, and Scandinavian and,
through it ALL he grinned grin as
wide as a watermelon.
I'll just climb right out on my
old familiar limb and predict that
he wins the mile.
