Days Longer.
Xot only a longer year but longer
days are the order. Tho grade
schools will open at In the morning;
and close at 4 In the afternoon, with
a noon hour extending from 12 until
1:15. Efforts ore bslntf muria t- .i
vote a portion of the time each day
to supervised study under the direc

less upon home study. The hours
for the high school had not been def

Twenty New Teachers,
Twenty new facee greeted the 997
students who filed into, their respec
tive class rooms this morning. Of
these, 11 are special and high school
Instructors while there are but nine
new teachers in the grade schools, in
all there are 45 Instructors employed

man was employed last year.

Slightly more Interested in this phase
of the opening of the schools than
were the sons and daughters, for It

to be delivered and until they arrive,
supplemental texts will be used.
Iteglstratlon this morning did not
come up to expectations becnuse of
the many diverting influences. A
large number of hoys employed to
stand In the Round-Up ticket sale line
were among the missing expected to

while n few on vacations with their
f parents have not yet returned from
seashore resorts. At least 800 more
students are looked for by Wednesday
afternoon.
I Illtfi Softool Gains.
The hiKh school made the greatest
gain In enrollment, according to es
timates by H. E. Inlow, principal. At
noon he reported a registration of
275. which Is 11 more than were en
rolled at any time last year. When
. school closed In May there were but
215 In the high school. The enroll
ment Is large owing to the goodly
number from out of town schools.
The corps of teachers which will di
rect the destinies of Pendleton's
school children is characterised by
j.- City Superintendent F. P. Austin as
capable and very satisfactory.' Mr.
Austin addressed the assembled in
structors at the county library audito
rium yesterday afternoon, following
which principals of the respective
schools met their teachers and un-
folded their working plans. Work
will be begun In earnest. In all the
schools with the opentnK'bell tomor

"It Is what steel workers are conted-

out that the Pacific fleet, when all
its units have arrived will comprise
525,000 tons, compared to the entire
American fleet of 225,000 tons that
went around the world in 1907 at
Theodore Roosevelt's direction. He
paid tribute to Roosevelt's foresight
in sending the fleet around the world
in "keeping- with his wisdom in the
construction of the Panama canaL"
Daniels said the canal made the
Pacific fleet possible. By developing
the naval bases he declared, "We will
add strength to the fleet as much as
if we added the equivalent In fight
ing ships.' He asserted the capacity
of these naval bases "is beyond any
thing heretofore found necessary.
This will be true even after we have
relegated pre-dreadnaughts and all
old cruisers, destroyers, submarines.
gunboats. ete.to coast defense, or the
scrap heap."
"To sum up." Daniels said, "we will
soon have, instead of the six real
fighting ships of 1898. 27 modern
dreadnaughts. six battle cruisers, S00 j
destroyers, more than 150 submarines.
50 mine planters and large numbers
of mine sweepers and patrol craft, and
an entirely new air force."
