Washington, June 25. Politicians
here discussed with intense interest to
tiny Colonel Roosevelt's defense, on his
arrival in New York from Europe Wed
nesday, of Chairman George W. Per
kins of the progressive national execu
tive committee.
"Mr. Perkins," he was quoted as
KLdLLJ ANU rtUiKALl3!l"09t uspful member of the progressive
pany. as ior reatiing nun um oi uiw
party, when that is done, they will
have to read me out, too."
There was the liveliest speculation
as to what the effect of this utter-1
ance would be on the relations between
the ex prsidnt and Uiffnrd and Amos
Pinehot, who made the attack on Per
kins. By some it was thought he would
discuss the matter in the course of the
speech ns he scheduled to make in Pitts
burg June 30.
His statement that he would not be
a inndidate for governor of New York
in the fall was what had been expect
ed, since it coincided with an intima
tion given by him some time ago.
Will Make Certain Speeches.
The colonel's announcement that he
would make "a certain number of
speeches indoors" despite the fact that
ho could not do open air talking or
undertake a continuance speaking tour,
was taken as insuring sufficient liveli
ness in the fall campaign.
No comment was looked for from
President Wilson on the declarations
attributed to the colonel to the effect
that the administration's handling of
foreign affairs has made "tin United
States a figure of fun in the interna
tional world," that "it is hyprocricj"
to claim credit" for the Panama ca
nal" and at the same time attempt to

the Huertistas looking toward an

The protocol provides for the estab

According to the records kept by the
clerk of the Salem school board, Wil
liam Burkhardt, Jr., there are 4,709
children in Salem of the school age,
which is betwoen i and 20 years, 2,li03
of the total being males and 2,400 fe
males. in spite of the fact that there are
4,709 school children in the city, the
total attendance of the nine schools
at the last semester, according to the
report of the superintendent, was only
3,166, which leaves 1,643 people of
school age not attending sessions. The
last school census was taken November
Opening Attendance Good.
The first day's attendance at the
Salom schools was considered good, and
about 2,339 pupils wero eurolled. This
number was increased to 2,715 at the
close of the first school month. Taking
the attendance as a whole in compari
son with last year, 1914 records are
ahead by 251 pupils. The average at
tendance for the season just closed has
been 3,306, while last year the attend
ance was only 3,155. The Salem school
authorities are confident that at tho
opening of . the next school year, the
former number will bs increased by
large figures. Although the official
census shows that there are 4,709 per
sons of proper school age within the
city limits it cannot be explained why
.i,166 pupils attended fie schools
this year.
New System Suggested.
In an interview with Mr. Burkhardt,
tho clerk of tho board, this morning he
stated he has devised a system whero)y
the board can learn to a certainty what
it will cost to accommodate each indi
vidual pupil in the nine Salem schools
hereafter.
Mr. Burkhardt states that his new
system of recording will be along th
general business liii"S which have been
adopted by all business houses in the 1
country. Ho proposes to make out an
extra record book which will, when tho
scheme has been carried out, show the
actual cost of each of the school build-
ings; the bulk of equipment; the value
! of the school grounds: the cost of sup'
plies; teachers' salaries; insrance; spw-j
cial equipment for the playgrounds, and'
.in fact everything of value belongingl
to the district. With this information:
at hand, Mr. Burkhardt states that he
' will be able to figure down to a penny
I just what it costs the taxpayers to care
for each pupil in all of the nine insti
tutions.
