Newton Centre Town Crier.
The school book dealer bad a busy
time of It' Monday, when the city
schools opened for the Kali term. The
torts were crowded from early morn
ing until late In the afternoon, and
the throng of boys and girls were
! handled in a rapid manner. Tbe new
'course of study goc into effect thi
year and there la no exchange book
list.
The enrollment of the opening day
waa G54, an Increase of 42 over last
year, and It la expected by the first
of next week the attendance will reach
700 at least. Two years ago the first
day' enrollment was S44, and In 19q5
it wa &90.
In the high school the enrollment
Monday was C8, in the Barclay gram
mor grades 322 and In the Eastham
building 274. The new eleventh grade
of the high school has 10 students for
the opening day, and 13 students In
the tenth and eleventh grades have
signified their Intention of taking the
Instruction offered by the teachers'
training class. There are 33 Fresh
men entered in the high school this
year and the tenth grade has 25 stu
dents, against 14 for last year on the
nrst day of school.
The Barclay building Is bright with
new palm and all of the desks In both
buildings have been scraped and re
varnlshed. The work of constructing
the 4-room addition to the Eastham
building is being pushed forward as
rapidly as possible, but Is not likely
to be finished until the latter part ot
October. Meanwhile the sixth and
seventh grad?s. under the direction of
Miss Daisy Bpauldlng. have tempor
ary quarter In the Barclay gymna
sium, which also houses the fifth
grade. When the Eastham addition is
complete, the sixth and seventh
grades, and also the seventh grade
taught by Miss Ida Mae Smith, will
be sent to the Easthnm building, and
the tilth grade win vacate the gymna
sium and occupy the room In the Bar-

MOUNT PLEA8ANT RESUMES.
City Superintendent McKee on
Tuesday made a change In the grade
assignment of teachers, giving all of
tho seventh grade work to Miss Ida
Mae Smith, and" leaving Miss Daisy
Spanieling In charge of the sixth grade
work. Both teachers are now In the
Itarclay building, but the sixth and
seventh grades will be transferred to
the Eastham building just as sixm as
the construction of the new 4-room ad
dition is completed. Miss Spaulding
Inst year had charge of a combined
sixth and seventh grade room, but
the arrangement was far from satisfactory.
.Vnyor W. E. Carl!, chairman of the
B"nrd of Directors, has presented the
high school with a large geographical
globe. The globe is a large one of
English manufacture and Is one of the
finest ever seen In this city. Dr. Carll
last year presented the city schools
with 45 volumes of historical works.
and his generosity Is deeplv appreci
ated by the corns of teachers and the
students as well.
David Caufield has been appointed
truant officer of the city school dis
trict, and It will be .his duty to look
after all cases of truancy reported by
the city superintendent. The state
law Is very strict In this matter, and
parents will be required to send their
children to school, unless there
ample reason for their absence.
City Superintendent McKee ha8 had
Two Teacher Employed Attendance
I Record Breaking.
The Mount Pleasant chool is open
ed with the largest attendance In the
history of this institution. The extra
room that ha been furnished thi
year Is filled with students, and many
more are expected to come when bop
picking ha been completed. The room
presents a neat appearance with its
new desks and other furniture. Miss
Mable Smith, of Grants' Pass. Is the
primary teacher, and this Is her first
year teaching In Clackamas County,
but she has had a great deal of expe
rience In that line in Josephine Coun
ty, and comes here with high recom
mendations. Miss Smith is a gradu
ate of the University of Oregon. The
principal of the school is Miss Muriel
Watklns, of New Yotk, who arrived
In Oregon City last week. Miss Wat
kins Is a graduate of the University of
New York.
The ninth grade has been added this
year, thus enabling children of the
district to take up the studies in this
grade. Instead of requiring them to
attend the city schools. Last year
only one teacher was employed, but
on account of many newcomers com
ing to tke West and setling in the
district. It was decided by the school
board to furnish the school room ad
joining, and to employ another teacher.

High School students who Intend
to fit themselves for the teaching pro-
tession win te given an excellent op
portunity In the Oregon Citv high
school, which opened last Monday.
The board of directors has concluded
to embrace in the course a teachers'
training class course, and thi3 will be
taught in both the tenth and eleventh
years. The course of study follows:
First half-year White Art of Teach
ing, 14 weeks; The State Course of
Study, 4 weeks.
Second half-year Observation. 7
weeks; Practice teaching, 7 weeks;
Problems to be solved, 4 weeks
The course -will be elective, but as
many students go Into teaching. It Is
very probable that a large number
will sieze upon this opportunity.
The local high school this year will
Include the ninth, ten and eleventh
grades, and the twelfth grade will be
added next year. Any tenth, eleventh
or twelfth year pupil may be admited
to the training class course. Pupils
taking this work will be permitted to
have one recitation a day, or. if the su
perintendent thinks best, the work of
this class will be substituted for some
one of the electives. The course is
not designed for other than high
schools of the first class and Is op
tional. Pupils completing this course
will be givn a certificate to that ef
fect, which certificate will be honored
by any State normal school in lieu of
the work in pedagogy required in the
freshman year. City Superintendent
McKee will take charge of the train
ing class. This course is designed to
suit those who wish to become teach
ers, and who are unable to attenda
State normal school. It is believed.
however, that many pupils who com
plete this course will become so in
terested in normal work that they will
be induced to take up regular normal
work in one of the State normal
schools. '
WEST SIDE SCHOOLS OPEN.
T. P. Kendall's Third Year In Charge
Began Monday.
The Oregon City West Side schools
opened Monday morning with the fol
lowing corps of teachers and grades
assigned them: Prof. T. P. Kendall,
seventh, eight and ninth grades; Miss
Eva Applegate, fifth and sixth: Miss
Martha Koerner. third and fourth;
Miss Lilli Schmidll. first and second.
The Bolton school has Miss Eva Wash
for the fourth, fifth and sixth grades,
and Miss Clara Koerner for first, sec
ond and third grades. This is Miss
Koerner's third year and Miss Wash's
u'cond year, and the teachers of the
other school were all re-elected, ex
cept Miss Applegate, who will teach
icr first year here, and comes from
Yoiicollii. Douglas County. Prof. Ken
ilt'll has given good satisfaction as su
wrintemient of the school, this being
his third year.
The heavy frost of Tuesday night
came with very little warning. On
Tuesday evening about 5 o'clock the
wind blew very cold and many of the
more lure weather prophets foretolJ
of frost Wednesday morning the
ground wa white. This was not a
frot that Just hit scattering sections
but one that wa felt all over the coun
ty. Tbe low ground auffered the
worst Report from Gladstone,
Clackamas Heights, Clackamas, Low
er and Upper Logan, Mt. Pleasant,
Molalla and New Era. all state that
the vegetation on the low ground suf
fered. In such places the tomatoes,
corn, beans, squash, melons, and lata
potatoes were almost completely de
stroyed. Even In the more protected
places and on high ground the gar
dens were Julte badly frost bitten.

Dairying Conditions.
If the dairy is not paying look well
to the condition of things at home.
See if the feeding is done as cheaply
and economically as It should be. See
If there is not an old cow that is con
suming the profit of three or four
others in tho yard. Look to all these
tilings letore concluding that the price
of butter fat Is at fault. We have
seen herds of cows that were charging
their owners as high as 30 cents per
pound for every pound of butter fat
sold therefrom. These were putting
the owner In debt every milking. The
creamery was not to blame either.

A Horse's Toenails,
Few persons realize that a horse's
hoof Is really the same thing as the
too nails of human beings or of anl
mans having toes. The horn of a
hoof grows just as a toenail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly in un
shod horses than in those wearing
shoes, and it grows faster In horses
which are well groomed and well fed.
But on an average, says the New York
Sun, the horn grows about a third of
an inch a month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the
longest part, it takes longer for the
horn to grow down there than at the
heel. For instance, the toe nail wlir
grow entirely doVn in from eleven to,
thirteen months, while the heel will
grow down in from three to fivrf
months.
.s me new norn grows out ans
cracks or defects in the old eradnal
ly work down to where they can hi
cut off Just as with human flng.
nails you can watch the progress of
britipe from the root to the tip.
