THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 10,1019. W SCHOOLS ARE CLASSED WITH BEST Sank in Size as Second in Ore gon Conceded.- Operating system unique fse of 6-3-3 Plan Said to Work Out Successfully Fall Term to Open September 2 9. SALEM, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) The Ealem public schools, which rank sec ond in the state in size, will open for the fall and winter terms on Septem ber 29, according to announcement made this week by John W. Todd, su- perintendent. i The schools, which are among the oldest in Oregon, operate under what is commonly known as the 6-3-3 sys tem. This means that the first six trades of the school system are grouped together; the seventh, eighth and ninth trades are joined in what is known as the junior high school and the tenth, eleventh and. twelfth grades form the senior high sch6ol. The senior high school offers the visual preparatory courses anfl in addi tion gives a practical line of instruc tion in commercial, vocational and do mestic lines. The college course aims to prepare boys and girls for college; "the commercial course has for its goal the fitting of boys and girls for busi ness life, while the vocational and do mestic departments aim to prepare Jthem for useful employment. Junior IllRh School ITnlqne. The organization of the junior high (fechool Is unique in that it presents a .solution of the problem of using the school buildings to their fullest capac t Hy and of employing all the pupils' J time. Fifty-one and five-tenths per cent more work is provided for the children under this plan than under the previous system. This has been accomplished without new buildings or additional teachers. The domestic departments of the liigh school are operated under the . Smith-Hughes act, which has for its purpose the making of these courses real and practical. In this connection the school district provides a prac tice house for the domestic science and art work. This is the only high school in Oregon operating under this system. The metal trade shop was also es tablished under the Smith-Hughes act, and has furnished a thorough course in machine shop work. This department has proved highly satisfactory.

There are one high school and eight 4?rade buildings in the city, all of which are modern and well equipped for educational purposes. These build ings now are undergoing the usual .summer renovation and will be spick and span at the opening of the fall term. Superintendent Has Record. John W. Todd, superintendent, is now entering upon his third year in the Salem schools. He has made an ex cellent record here and the members of the educational Tt oard speak of his ability in the highest terms. Although there is a general shortage of teachers throughout the entire west, Salem will this year have a very effi cient staff, and Superintendent Todd is looking forward to a prosperous year. There are about 4000 children of school age in Salem and it is believed that this year's enrollment will show a alight increase over that of last fall. the secretary of the interior, for the year ending June 30, 1918, has been made public here. Governor McCarthy estimates the population of the terri tory at 256,000, an increase of 64.271 or 33.49 per cent since 1910, when the last official census was taken. Honolulu is estimated to have a population of 75, 000. Of the total population of Hawaii, 106,000 are Japanese, according to the governor's estimate, 38.000 Hawaiians or part Hawaiians, 20,000 Filipinos. 22. 000 Chinese and 42,000 divided among the Caucasian races. Figures are' not given for Coreans and other Asiatic races. Exports for the fiscal year exceeded 581,000.000 with imports aggregating all -37- 718. Sugar to the value of more than 970.000,000 was exported, with pineapples taking second place. The governor called attention to the fact that in recent years the Philippines have been the chief source of labor for Hawaiian plantations. The birth rate for the territory is given as 36.71 per 1000. Board of health statistics show that the Japanese birth rate in Hawaii is 42.87 per 1000. These figures recall the prediction made a few years ago by ex-Governor L. E. Pinkham, that within 20 years voters of Japanese parentage would control the political destinies of Hawaii.

Wind Rites Accompanied "by Strange Music to Call Reptiles to Hands of Captors. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9. A relic of their barbaric past, yet such a part of their tribal existence that it can not be discarded, the annual snake dance of the Hopi Indians will be held this year August 20 and September 6 at the Hopi Indian reservation in eastern Arizona, according to an announcement made here recently. The ceremonies surrounding the an nual festival are so weird and barbaric that thousands of tourists and pleas ure-seekers, bored by the commonplace and seeking something different, pay the Hopi reservation a visit. Preceding the snake dance, which continues for nine days, the Indiana hold a musical concert, participated in by two bands, equipped only with flutes. After several selections the music ends with a footrace. When the snake dance starts war riors of the tribe are dispatched to the desert to bring in the reptiles. They are accompanied by musicians, whose per formances on quaint musical instru ments are supposed to lure the snakes into the hands of the warriors. After capturing several snakes, gen erally rattlers, the warriors return to tne village, where the reptiles are placed in stone Jars. Incantations, ac companied by music and weird dances around the jars then continue for nine days. WOMEN SHRIEK, SAVE CASH Holdup Runs When Screams Answer Demand for Parses. The fifth holdup within 27 hours took place Friday night, when a highway man stopped Mrs. R. W. "Weir and Mrs. H. A. Wiegand, both of 1099 East Thirty-second street North, at East Thirty-first and Sumner streets, and demanded their purses. Both women screamed, and the robber fled without taking the proffered purses. The robber, who is described as a young man of small stature, dressed in a dark suit, thrust a short blue revolver against Mrs. Weir's breast and ordered her to deliver her valuables. The women say they had seen him and another suspicious character hanging around the neighborhood. The other holdups were: Robbery of H. Goldstein, 225 Burnside street, of $65.01 and two watches; of A. C. John son of $4.50, at East Sixty-seventh street and Alameda drive: of R. H. Wheeler, who lost $98 and a watch at Albina avenue and Lombard street, and of A. C. Wall, who knocked one of two highwaymen down and escaped with out losing anything. QUALIFICATIONS ARE CITED ROAD'S NAME IS CHANGED Tacoma Protest Gets Rid of Ob noxious "31t. Rainier" in Title. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 9. (Special.) Vigorous protests from Tacoma organi zations have brought a change of name for the Tacoma Eastern railway, which was rechristened the "Mount Rainier branch" by the United States Railroad administration on the advice of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, the holding company. It will be known hereafter as the "National Park branch." The road connects Tacoma with Ash ford, the nearest point to the park en trance, and runs thence into the Big Bottom district of Lewis county. H. B. Earling, general manager of the Milwaukee road, told the Tacoma council that no thought was- paid to the significance of the new name when it was given to the branch at the com mand of the railroad admnlistration. COWLITZ BRIDGE STARTED Construction Work Making Things Boom for Toledo. CHEHALIS, Wash., Aug. 9. (Spe cial.) Concrete was being poured this week for the immense abutment to the big steel bridge across the Cowlitz river at Toledo on the Pacific highway. Weeks will be required to complete this part of the job, when the work of building the great concrete piers in midstream will begin. Construction of the new bridge is giving employment to a large force or men. Toledo also is receiving considerable business from the construction of the seven miles of concrete pavement from Newaukum prairie to the pavement leading out of Toledo toward Chen alia. Owing to this work the Pacific high way is closed between Toledo and Che ha! is and tourists and others are obliged to take the route around through Winlock and Xapavine. Residence in Oregon at Time of En listment Required of Men Seek ing State Aid for Courses. SALEM, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) Ap plication blanks for the convenience of all former service men who wish to re ceive benefits under the soldiers', sail ors' and marines' educational aid law passed at the last session of the legis lature, are being mailed by Sam Kozer, assistant secretary of state, to all edu cational Institutions eligible to eive this training under the legislative en actment. Besides giving his name and place of residence the applicant must give the date of his enlistment, place of induc tion into the United States service and the branch of the military to which he was assigned. The date of his dis charge and the length of time he served are also essential. A statement from the secretary of state's office says: In connection -with the submission of applications and the approval thereof by the executive heads of the respective edu cational institutions of toe state with which applications may be .'lied, attention Is In vited to the fact that the attorney-general has construed the provisions of this law as including- only those whos were actual residents of Oregon at the time of enlist ment or Induction Into the service of the United States during the recent war with as including only those who were actual ly In Oregon at the time of such enlist ment or induction, or were temporarily ab sent from the state at that time and for the convenience of themselves or the gov ernment enlisted or were Inducted into the service In the state in which they were temporarily residing and were sent there from to mobilization camps by the near est local board. Oregon Residence Required. The phrase, "Those enlisted and inducted men whose residence at the time of enlist ment or registration was In Oregon." refers to or means only those whose actual resi dence was Oregon at the time of enlist ment or registration under the selective serv ice law, regardless of the fact that by rea son of their temporary absence from the state their enlistment or registration may nave been in another state. The actual res idence of any applicant under the law can doubtless be definitely established or deter mined by reference to either or both his "registration certificates" or final discharge from the service. Where the enlistment of the applicant or nis induction into the service was in an other state and the applicant at the time of such enlistment or induction Into the service was a bona fide resident of Oregon, an affidavit setting forth fully and com pletely the reasons for absence from Ore gon at such time must accompany his ap plication. Such affidavit must show that where the applicant was absent from Ore gon at the time of enlistment or Induction, such absence was not with the intention of taking up his residence in the state in which he was enlisted or inducted into the servlce,-and that there wan no desire on his part to abandon Oregon as his home or as his actual residence. This affidavit may be made before a notary public, county clerk. Justice or the peace, or other person quali fled to administer oaths, and can be couched such form as the applicant may choose make It, so long as it contains the sentlal and very necessary facts pertaining to this most important matter. Complete History Needed. A complete history of the service of the applicant must be included In such appll cation and contain a statement of all trans fers which may have occurred during the period of his service in the army of the United States to the date of bis final dis charge. Attention is directed to the provisions of section 3of the act requiring the executive head of an institution with which an appll cation may be filed to pass upon it and ap prove or disapprove it within ten days after Its receipt. It will thus be observed tha great responsibility rests upon those head In connection with this duty. They should therefore see to It that the applications arc complete in every detail before approval and forwarding to the secretary of state for fll lng and deposit in his .office. In the even any such applications upon receipt by th secretary of state's office are found Incom plete and defective in any requirements they will be immediately returned to the executive heads of the institutions for the necessary adjustment. It might be added that we have In cou of preparation forms upon which the sol dier, sailor or marine can render a monthly statement of his expenses at the end of each calendar month to the executive head of the Institution which he Is attending. From these statements the executive heads of the Institutions can prepare their monthly state ments of amounts in which they hav aid ed such soldiers, sailors or marines recelv lng Instruction therein during such period and for which they are entitled to be paid by the state from the funds available under this act. Statement and voucher forms for the con vent once of the executive heads of the In stltutlons In rendering such monthly insti tutional statements are also being prepared and will be forwarded at a later date. Unless It shall be construed otherwise, ft the understanding of the law at thli time that the benefits thereof are avail ble to an applicant only after the formal approval of his application by the executive head of an Institution and the actual entry upon the pursuit of a course of study there by such applicant. i nat is to nay, not withstanding an application may be made to and approved by the executive head of an institution and the applicant defer the pur suit of his course of study until some time afterwards, he Is not entitled to the benefits of the law until actually upon his work and certified by the executive head of the insti tution In the monthly statements to the secretary of state for reimbursement for aid actually furnished during the preceding calendar month.

They contain no drastic purgatives and therefore restore the natural tone to the bowels and help to re-estaDiish normal functions. 25-cent boxes of PURLETTS contain 36 tablets.
