ENROLMENT IN
COUNTY SCHOOLS
ABOUT AVERAGE
High School Students, Engaged
In Farm Work And War In
dustry, Slow To Return

Schools opened on Tuesday in the
county with average enrolment in the
elementary grades, but slightly under
normal in the high school.
The drop in high school enrolment
was termed the result of many young
people remaining at their Jobs in war
industries, and the lack of older help
ers on the farms. Those on the farms
were expected to begin their classes
a little later on.
Army and navy officials have been
stressing the Importance of education
and have been urging young war
workers to return to their studies.
In Oakland there were a total OF
942 students enrolled in the three
schools, 472 in Oakland high, 400 in
Oakland Elementary, and 70 in St.
Peters Parochial school.
f. d. Bittle, principal of Oakland
High school, listed 90 as seniors, los
as juniors, 1873 as sophomores and
142 as freshmen. He said at least
IS more students were expected with
20 seniors, Is juniors, Is sophomores
and ID freshmen still not accounted
for. Mr.. Bittle also emphasized the
need of young people returning to
their studies. He said that school rou-
tine was working smoothly and that
full schedule of classes was under
way.
Merle Frantz, principal of the Oak
land Elementary, said that this morn
ing's total represented about what
was expected, with not more than 10
additional yet to come in. The grades
were divided as follows; It'll, Mr.
Frantz, So; 9Th, Miss Dilgard, 40;

To hear Brahms "Wiegenlied'
and Fosters "Jeanie With the Light
Brown Hair" sung as Dorthy May
nor sang them last night at the
Water Gate, was an experience not
soon to be forgotten. The cele-
brated Negro soprano. appearing as
soloist with the Water Gate SYM
phony, was in splendid voice and
brought out the deathless beauty of
these unpretentious songs in the
simplicity of her delivery and in the
expressive quality of her warmly
colored tones. One of the largest
audiences of the season responded
with unrestrained enthusiasm and
recalled her again and again.
Miss Maynor sang more exact

greater appeal. The timber of her
voice is exceptional in its unspoiled

its emission. 1t has a heart

from the perfection of the tones
themselves and partly from its emo
tional sincerity. This was further
demonstrated in Branches Bend

'Xerxes," where the purity of form
was maintained with artistic in
tegrity.
In other selections, however, Miss

Shades OF 1920 descended on the
current American League pennant
race today as the old spit BALI ar
gument was dragged into the first
place struggle between the st.
Louis Browns and the New York
Yankees.
Claiming that Pitcher Nelson POI
ter had been tossing "spitters",
Umpire Cal Hubbard gave the
Brownie starter the heave-ho in
the fifth inning of a 90 ball game
last night after a prolonged argu-
ment with Manager Luke Sewell
that brought a shower OF pop bot
ties and hats. Since 1920 all such
freak deliveries have been banned
except for a list OF registered spit
ballers. Burleigh Grimes, who re-
tired from the big show in 1884,
was the last man on the list.
Two ex-Yankee farmhands made
the ST. Louis fans forget the spit
ter" incident by smashing home
runs in a five-run seventh inning
rally that gave the Browns 10
victory and tipped their lead TO
three full games. Mike Chartak,
who played most OF the towns in
the Yank circuit, clouted his as a
pinch-hitter with two on and Lefty
McQuinn, who was New York pro-
perty in the minors for seven years,
hit the other with one on, booming
Hank Borowy. Relief man Denny
(part-time) Galehouse was credit
ed with his first win OF the season.
While the Browns were stretch
ing their lead, the Cardinals moved
two more steps toward an early
September clincher by downing the
New York Giants twice, 1912 and
60 In II innings. Mort Cooper
had no trouble in grabbing the
opener over Rookie Jack Brewer
but Teddy Wilks had TO have a
