T j Jwenty-Five Percent of High ; School Enrollment-from ifv Other Districts J Twenty-five per cent of the en-. roll men t of pupils in the senior high school of Salem, and the junior high schools of -the city, comes - from districts outside of Salem, according to the official Teports of George W.

To be exact there are 280 pu pils attending tne roun highest grades in the city schools who do not live in Salem, but who come here on account of the better ed.u , tation offered by the' senior and - Junior high schools of the city. !

Polk county Is. sending 63. stu , tents, Lln county, six and other ; distant districts six. . , , - L This crowding of. the upper grades of the city's schools is due to the high school law passed toy the legislature several years ago, by which it was Intended that ev ery pupil in the state of Oregon should be given the advantage of high school education. ; .! 1 By this law, called the county high school tuition fund,, the county tromt which the pupil comes pays to the Salem, school district, . the tuition fee. t Last tear the district received 4n tui tion from these pupils, the sum of 123,000., ? !. ..- Many people renoving to Sa lem to give their children the ad vantages ;of the.

There are 410 attending the high est grade of the junior high school or what was known as the freshman - class in the old time organization. , These 1,110 students are crowding' the high, school build ing and the junior high schools to their utmost capacity. In fact. many primary grade pupils in the Grant school, are being sent to other schools to make room for the Increased enrollment in the Grant junior high school. There are 225 more pupils at tending the Salem public schools than a year ago, and as there has been a steady increase for the past few years, the problem to be figured out by those in charge of the public schools will be that of Undine accommodations. Tne county hig'h school law will bring to Salem by next year, possibly 350 pupils from outside districts. There will be a normal growth in Salem, and according to one of the school directors, the biggest problem confronting the board of education will soon oe that or jiig uring out some place to putitne 4200 who will attend the public schools.

Efficiency Now. is the time to arrange on th$ front porch or at some convenient place a receptacle for letters; and papers which one may be looking for frons the mail man.' ' : 1 ! , The! postoffiee department' in Washington has decided that it wocld ! add greatly to the effici ency of the service if each house wer provided with either a slot through the doqr for ail mail, or with a box of some kind. On Wednesday, October 19, all mai carriers will bs asked to re port to the local postoffice the address of houses or buildings thaf have no proper receptacle for mail. ! Those that have not will receive, communications from the postoffice department urging them to provide proper recepta cles If they : want prompt deliv ery.

When recentaclos are provided the' department figures the mail man will be; able" to handle his work n a much more satisfactory manner, and at the same time make it safer for those receiving mall. !
