Large Registration Due to the
Many Men Returned from
.War and Military
Academies.
Returning soldiers, men who have
been attending military schools and
students who liscontinued their
schooling last semester because of
war conditions swamped Principal
Masters of the Central High school
Monday morning to register for the
second semester, which opens Tues
day. With the largest incoming class
of freshmen ever registering at the
school mid-term, the enrollment of
Central High is now close to 2,200.
Only 41 of the 524 graduates from
the grade schools have not regis
tered at one of the four high
schools.
New System Adopted.
v A new system -of registration is
being adopted. Students are per
mitted to choose their own teachers,
hours and subjects. Each student
is expected to make out his own
program of studies, subject to the
approval of the home room teacher.
This program is to be signed by
each teacher in whose classes the
student wishes to enroll. This sys
tem has been used in Denver and
eliminates the work. of a small
group of teachers attempting to sat
isfactorily arrange programs for
1,800 students. .
Several new teachers will begin
their work when classes open Tues
day. Miss Helen Sommer, formerly a
teacher at the Columbia school, will
teach English. Miss Elsie Fisher
will teach history. Lieutenant Hill
will take Mr. VVedeking's freshman
algebra classes, and Miss Drake, a
graduate of Smith college, will teach
the classes in French, taught last
semester by seven different teachers.
Miss Elizabeth Kiewit and ,Miss
Marie Coons will not be back this
. semester because of illness. Lieu
tenant Andrew Nelson has returned
to the school from the artillery serv
ice. Miss Katherine H. Hilliard has
recovered from an accident incurred
last fall and will teach in the junior
English classes. Mr. Louis Bexten
has left the school to be assistant
Boy Scout commissioner. Mrs.
Stephen Davis will be transferred
from South to Central High, while
Miss Josephine Duras will return to
South High from Central.
The High School of Commerce,
which has the quarterly system, will
not register new students until
March. Benson High reports an
unusually large number of seniors.

DROPS OF MAGIC!
LIFT OUT CORNS'
Sore, touchy corns stop hurt
ing, then lift right out
with fingers
For a few cents you
can get a small bottle of
the magic dru freezone
recently discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Just ask at any drug
store for a small bottle
of freezone. Apply a
few drops upJn a tender,
aching corn or callus and
instantly all soreness
disappears and shortly
you will find the corn or
callus so loose that you
lift it off with the fin
gers. Just think! Not one
bit of pain before apply
ing freezone or after
wards. It doesn't even
irritate the surrounding
skin.
Hard corns, soft corns
or corns between the
toes, also hardened cal
luses on bottom of feet,
shrivel up and fall off
without hurting a parti
cle. It is almost magical.
Ladies! Keep a tiny
bottle on the dresser and
never let a corn or cal
lus ache twice, Ail

Ask any one of .the management of the Paxton-Gallagher Co., whole
rale grocers, of Omaha, that question and the answer will come: "Noth
ing easier! We'll put one of our office stenographers on the work of
posting our ledgers, and we know that the work will go forward without
a slip."
Burroughs Direct-to-Ledger Posting has prepared the Paxton-Galla
gher Co. for this emergency, or for any other difficulty of similar nature
for the Burroughs Machine is so simple of operation that anyone who
can read can operate it successfully.
Burroughs Direct-to-Ledger Posting brought perfect accuracy into
the Paxton-Gallagher Company's bookkeeping department automatic
adding and subtracting, a daily proof of posting, and trial balances that
balance at the FIRST addition.
It brought uniform neatness and speed, and made possible a daily
balance on all accounts.
Yet, even more than any of these advantages, the simplicity of the Burroughs Direct-to-Ledger
Posting method appeals to this firm, because it permits anyone in the
office no matter how inexperienced to take over the bookkeeping work in an
emergency. '
With Burroughs Ledger Posting Machines, either card or loose leaf ledgers may
be used. The machine prints dates and amounts, extends the balance at the touch of
a button, and gives a speedy and accurate proof of the work.
The Paxton-Gallapher Co. is only one of many Burroughs Bookkeeping Machine
users and boosters in Omaha. We can give -you some very interesting information
about the work of these machines, and show you how the machine-posting method
can be applied to the bookkeeping work in your own office at a saving for your com
pany. A 'phone call will bring a Burroughs man to your office atany time. Let him
study the way your work is handled, and then draw up a definite outline of what the
Burroughs Machine can do for you.
If the machine cannot save you time and money, our representative will tell you
so. If it can, he will show you where and how.
