The fourth of the Covenanter Letters, written by Wllliiim Howard Tnft, ox-president of the United Httites; George W. Wlckcrshnm, former United Htates attorney general; A. Ijiwrenro Lowell, president of Har vard university, and Henry W. Taft, of the New York Bar, takes up another phase of the league of nations covenant. It deals with: The Council. ' The Council Is the principal organ of tho League; for while its func tions are almost entirely confined to supervision and the making of re commendations, the sphere In which It can do this is large. Now the responsibility for carry ing out the objects of the Lengue rests mainly upon the five lnrger na tions. On their co-operation Its ef fectiveness dopends. Without them It would be powerless. They must be kept constantly in close touch with one another, and hence In the small body which moots most frequ ently and In which the most intimate conference takes place, they must el ways be present. But although that body possesses no legal authority to direct the action ot the mombers, yet If It were composed . exclusively of the representatives of the .five larg est nations those five eould, it they ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOLS SHOWS CITY'S GROWTH 1015 REGISTERED ON OPENING DAY. GAIN IS 25 PER CENT 7IMI Attended on First Day of Term In 101H Total Will lie Much Greater by End of Month, Hays Superintendent. . As an Indication of the percentage of growth In Bend's population which has resulted In the overcrowd lug of the city schools at the very opening of the term, registration figures wore given out today by City Superintendent B. W. Moore, show ing a gain of more than 200 over opening day registration In 1918. Yesterday, 1015 applied for admis sion Into classes, and 796 were on hand to start work at the beginning of the term last year. Monday's total even beats the number reached at the end of the first month last year, when 885 bad entered school In Bend. Mr. Moore considers that yesterday's registra tion Is only about 80 per cent of what may be expected at the end of the first four weeks. The only school In the city where last year's attendance was greater than now, was at the Central build lng, and thi is readily explained by the fact that only the lower floor of that building Is In use during the present school year, following a de cision by the board of directors taken In order to minimise the fire risk. By schools, registration tor the opening day Is as follows: Junior high, 160; senior high, 150; Central 115: Kenwood, 215; Reld, 325 Camps, 50. Last year's figures, while giving not an absolutely accurate basis for comparison because of the different plan on which the Junior high was at first conducted, still give a gen eral Idea of the distribution of pu pits at that lime, and are as follows Junior and senior high schools, 160 Central, 250; Reld, 276; Kenwood 86; Camps. 26.

It Is im portant, therefore, that the smaller states should be represented on the Council, and that the states having seats there should not always be the same... To accomplish this result the Assembly Ib empowered to select from time to time the states that shall ' send representatives; and since in the Assembly the small states will tar outnumber the large ones, nnd each state has one vote, the states to have seats will practically be selected by the smnller members of the League. In order, moreover, that Important action affecting any smnller state may not be taken In Its absence It Is furthered provided that In such a ease the state shall (Continued on Page 4.)
