In the Increase of the school cenau
taken last February over 1906-6 by The
Journal. June 2S. Hy figures turned out
of the school clerk's office It was
shown that the Increase in the enroll
ment In the city schools was over 140
per cent greater than the increase in
tne school population, inis percentage
greatly amazed tho city school authori
ties when It was considered that the
general proportion of the enrollment to
the population Is but 7(1 per cent.
Several of the school directors were
seriously considering a recount, but It
was believed It would be too late in the
year to complete another census In time
for the county superintendent's appor
tionment of school money.
The Increase In the first report made
bv Clerk Allen of 29,139 children of
school ne in the district was an In
crease of 2,171 over 1906-8. The in
crease in the enrollment In the aohools
In the same period was 3,868 pupils.
Since the 1905-6 census was taken five
new districts have been annexed by
Portland Independent school district No.
1. I'eon this showing the school au
thorities could see that something was
wrong and that tha Increase in the
school population should number some
4,000 or 6,000 pupils.
More Work Can Be Done,
With the additional $20,000 which will
come to the district on the usual 110
per capita apportionment, considerable
work can be carried on that must have
been postponed had the error not been
rectified.
This morning the county school cen
sus was completed and shows a total
of 85,688 pupils. Of this number there
are 18,343 girls and 17,345 boys. This
is an Increase of 1,896 over 1806-6.
Portland school district Is the largest
one and district su wun nve cnnaren
the smallest.
The St. Johns school district baa
forged steadily ahead In the number
of children of school age and has now
graduated from a second to a first class
district. Districts of the first class
must have over 1,000 children of school
age. St. Johns has 1,004 such children.
This gives the district five school di
rectors and an opportunity to make
their own rules and regulations.

Mrs. Potter Palmer Declares
English Press Must Stop
Annoying Her.
(Journal Special Berries.)
London, July 16. Mrs. Potter-Palmer
is so thoroughly annoyed at the con
stant matrimonial announcements con
cerning her that she has taken steps to
prevent English papers, at least, from
originating such reports and from re
printing similar stories coming from
America.
Through her solicitors she has served
notice on English newspapers that
should they print any unauthorised re
ports concerning her she will commence
suit against them at ones. She Is fully
determined on this course. The report
that she was to marry the Earl of
Munster occasioned both herself and
the earl the keenest annoyance. The
two never met.
An Intimate friend of Mrs. Palmer
says that beyond a doubt she. will re
main unmarried for the remainder of
her life. She Is delighted with her free
dom and so glories In the name of Pot
ter-Palmer that she would not change
It for a title.

The question is raised, "Are the great
naval movements planned without con

the discovery that no verbal or written

The officials and officers have only
known by the public announcement that
the greatest fleet of American battle
