MARION COUNTY
FOR PAST YEAR
Pupils In Marion county schools
had an average attendance record
of 95 per cent during the past school
year, according to the annual report
of County Superintendent Fulker
son which she has now partially
completed. Average daily attendance
In elementary grades was 96 per
cent, in junior high 96 per cent and
in high school 94 per cent. The total
days pupils were absent amounted to
90,094 while they were in atten
dance a total of 1,879,219 days, of
which elementary pupils attended
1,177,729 days; junior high pupils,
254,680 days and high sehool pupils,
446,802 days.
In the tardy section a total of 11,
197 of such delinquencies were re
ported. In the elementary grades
unwilling schoolboys and girls were
late 5736 times, in Junior high there
were only 970 tardy marks registered
and in high school 4491 registered.
There were a total of 571 neither
tardy nor absent of which 186 were
In elementary grades, 186 in junior
high and 81 in high school.
Statistics in grade enrollments
have been prepared by the county
superintendent as follows: showing
the number enrolled in each grade:
first, 1239; second, 1096; third 1178;
fourth, 1232; f.'ifth, 1248; sixth, 1228;
seventh, 1301; eighth, 1207. In high
school grades the enrollment is se
gregated as follows: ninth, 1043;
tenth, 972; eleventh, 899; and twelf
th, 744, or a total enrollment of 13,
461. Mrs. Fulkerson in commenting
on the foregoing called attention to
the cveness of the figures from the
third grade on indicating a uniform
standard of scholarship. In the first
grade the figure Is high as so many
are set back because of starting in
school too early and have to do the
work over.
She also has segregated the num
ber of pupils of school age in the
county according to age out of the
total roll of 17,423, of which total
there are 8889 boys and 8554 girls.
The segregation as to various ages
is as follows: four years, 839 ; 5 years.
420; 6 years, 993; 7 years, 1049; 8
years, 1073; 9 years 1108; 10 years,
1150; 11 years, 1145; 12 years, 1242;
13 years, 1128; 14 years, 1200; 15

date a pledge that he would vote at
the convention, wet or dry, as his
county voted. The delegates will
have no discretion at the conven
tion, which probably will be held
within 30 days.
Light balloting was predicted by
state election officials. Out of a
total registration of 444,009, possibly
not more than 280,000 would visit
the polls, they said. The vacation
season, the fact that it was a spe
cial election, and an apparent gen
eral apathy was responsible. Al
though both sides made use of con
siderable advertising and oratory
the voters did not become greatly
exercised. The balloting counting
was to be slow inasmuch as the
state decided as an economy meas
ure to abolish double election
boards.
Congressman Charles H. Martin,
a democrat, rounded up the cam
paign for the wet side with a plea
for support of the administration.
"You must, if necessary," sacrifice
your personal views." James A.
Parley, chairman of the national
democratic committee, declared In
a telegram to democratic head
quarters that "It is highly essen
tial that Oregon votes in favor of
repeal this week.
Some responsible prohibition
sources, while mentioning for pub
lication that" they believed there
still was "a fighting chance" that
the wets would be vanquished, ad
mitted privately that if Oregon to
day gave repeal a majority no grea
ter than it did last November, they
would consider that a "victory" had
been won.

, Goss, when under cross-examination,
said he might be on the
court house grounds yet if he hadn't
been arrested, and that "we may
have to go there again."
In his testimony yesterday Goss
told, ' on direct examination, of
events leading up to the occup
ancy of the court house grounds
by the Unemployed Council mem
bers. He said that five committees
of 10 persons each had gone In
succession to the relief station In
behalf of specific cases of need and
that none of the committees had
been received at the station. The
next move, he said, was a march
to Judge John Slegmund's home,
and the next step the occupancy
of the court house lawn. The latter
move was made, he said, to focus
public attention on local conditions.

after Henry W. (Bunny) Austin, sec

sensational upset by trouncing Els

The double setback came as a
shocking blow to the American team,
virtually crushing their high hopes
of forging into the challenge round
against Prance next week.
With the doubles match scheduled
tomorrow and two concluding sin
gles matches Sunday, the British
need only one more victory to gian
the challenge round, whereas the
United States now needs three
straight to capture the series.
Austin duplicated his "giant kill

into camp with such ridiculous ease
that the American camp was stun

only two and a half games ahead
of Chicago, with the Corsairs trail

His plane was repaired during the
night and Post obtained some rest
in the United States army signal
corps station here. The operators
took the filer in charge and put him

he was still ahead of the old records
The flight to Edmonton is over
mountainous country, but Post con
siders it like "going down hill' as
he is quite familiar with the route
and weather conditions are likely to
be better.
At Fairbanks preparations had
been made for a quick refueling of
the Winnie Mae and Post was ex
pected to be soon speeding on his
way to Edmonton, 1450 miles away.
The Edmonton-New York leg, the
final one of his chartered route, is
2200 miles.
Post said he had been completely
"lost" over western and central
Alaska yesterday before finally land

He had been unable to follow a
"proper course," he said, because of
his exhaustion. For seven hours af
ter first being sighted over Nome
at 1:30 p. m. (EST) yesterday, he
had fliown back and forth, before
landing here, only about 300 miles
to the southeast.
BLAMES EXHAUSTION
Post blamed his extreme exhaus
tion on the fighting of bad weather
over Alaska during the seven hours
he was "lost."
"I should have landed at Nome,"
he said, "as soon as I sighted land,
or a short time after that."
He was asked whether he. had
been able to find the Yukon river.
"I saw a dozen Yukons," he re
plied.
At one time, he said, he was all
ready to "bail out" of his plane,
and during much of the time he was
afraid he would have to land In an
isolated region, out of communica
tion with the world. He was unable
to use his brakes on the landing
field, because it was bumpy.
"When I saw the wireless masts
here," he explained, "I decided to
make a landing at all costs, and
find out where I was."
