was deCidedto send a committee up TO Wash

w. j. Waddingham, who recently re-
turned from Australia, has decided to
go into business in Los Angeles.
The movement toward establishing
experimental stations and test plats at
various points in Southern California
for the purpose of putting questions to
the soil and obtaining answers from the
soil, has been practically taken hold of
by the dean of Chaffey college, assisted
by friends of the enterprise. The college
campus consists of twenty acres, and
will be the field of operations under the
control of Prof. Gooch and a wellknown
arboriculturst, H. r. Sheiting. This
move in the interest of horticulturists
of Southern California has received sub
stantial encouragement from the stand
taken by the Los Angeles Herald in rec
ommending practical experiments in
preference to abstract and expensively
arrived at theories. Work will COM
mence next Monday, and as soon as
important results of trial plats become
known information of interest to ranch
ers and fruit growers will be published.
The Importance of such practical ex-
perments as are contemplated cannot
readily be estimated, as, besides edu-
eating the students of Chaffey college,
who take special interest in horticul
tural matters. the plot plan, if success
full as it undoubtedly will be under
proper management, is sure to be
adopted at other important fruit grow
ing settlements in Southern Califor-
.lia.

REDLANDS
Grammar School Teachers Resign to
Avoid Further Friction

REDLANpS, Jan. 21-This morning
two of the trustees of the Redlands
grammar school sent in their resigna-
tions to Miss Mogeau. county superin-
tendent of schools. Their names are
Prof. r. T.. n Eaton and DIR. Lockwood
This action, which will be a surprise to
almost everybody, is the result of a long
standing friction in the board.
j. p. Breed is the other member and
president of the board, and all are of the
very best and most respected men of
Redlands.
No feeling whatever is shown by any
member of the board against any other
member but they disagree as to meth
DDS in school management, and SO Prof
Eaton and DR.. Lockwood felt that it
would be best to step out and allow
Miss Mogeau to appoint others who
could enter upon the work with unpre-
JUDGED minds.
President Breed feels that many minor
affairs might better be left to Principal
F. A. Wagner, who has shown himself
capable and is very popular here. The
other two members believe that the
board should attend to these things, and
the difference begins and ends just there.
