rule and the vast majority are aiming to-
ward a happy medium between the two eX-
tremes. A grade teacher, whose school is
a fair example of this plan, ex-
pressed the sentiment of many when she
said: The theory which | put into practice
in governing my school is simply common
sense. | never ask my boys and girls to do
a thing or to leave something else undone,
unless there is some better reason for it
than the fact that it is practiced in other
schools"
So long has the idea of uniformity been
associated with that Of order in the school
that it sometimes takes "A good deal Of cour-
age for a teacher to stem the tide of public
opinion and give the individual a chance. In
the newer discipline, occupation is the law

given a short period Of brisk gymnastics.
The rest exercise was again given and while
the pupils sat in easy positions the teacher
read an amusing anecdote of an artist whose
pictures the children were studying. Re-
freshed both physically and mentally the
school again resumed it's work.
In another room visited on a d. X, rainy
morning the children were found singing.
This is not my period for singing" said
the teacher alphabetically, "but my school
seemed dull and a five-minute exercise in
singing works wondrous changes. Music is
the best disciplinarian that l know"
The school where the greatest harmony
seems to prevail between pupils and teacher,
where children work with the greatest in
terest and pleasure and the least waste Of
nervous energy is the one where the method
of discipline is least apparent-where chill

action, yet made to feel that that had refer

firm hand, ever ready to encourage the

Trade Report.

Bradstreet's report of last weeks
business says: While trade is still
OF only midsummer volume, the be-
ginning of improvement in demands is
apparently becoming visible. The i'm
Provement is still one of tone, rather
than of demand, but with a yield of
54O,OOOOO0 bushels of wheat, a next
to record breaking yield of corn and a.
large production of oats, the western
crop situation contains many encour-
aging features. The Southern cotton
crop has undoubtedly suffered, and con-
ditions are unprecedentedly low for
this season of the year, but the acre
age planted was a leading one and
prices are so much higher that a sat-
isfactory financial return is confidently
looked for In addition railroad earn
ings point to the maintenance of the
business of the country at a volume in
excess of last year.
The effort of the big iron and steel
concerns to control prices, if really
made, has proven abortive and anoth-
er wholesale slashing of quotations is
to be reported this week. The pro-
duction, however, is falling off, and
prices of furnace stocks, though con-
siderable. would seem small if renew
ed activity occurred. 1t is hard to
see how lower prices can be expected.
and it is said that present quotations
are attracting some business, particu-
larly at Chicago.
The industrial situation is rather
better as a result of agreements upon
wages by a number of iron and steel
manufacturing concerns and their en-
ployes. Lower prices for lumber are
apparently inducing more activity in
building, though how much is due to
this or how much to the settlement of
labor disturbances is hard to measure.

Umatilla county, and is one solid fruit
belt. Throughout this entire region
the fruit of all varie les is first-class in
quality and the yield is unusually large
Wheat is coming to some warehouses
notably in the east end, near and at
Milton, where threshing has been in
progress for the past few weeks. AL
though no figures are given indicating
what the yield per acre is to be this
fall the quality in every instance is
said to be straight No. 1. All the sam
pies brought to Pendleton from the
threshers are of No. 1 grain. One
field of barley has been all threshed
and the yield was 80 bushels to the
acre, the quality being No. 1.

has been experimental with in this
section of the country. The heads are
well filled with large kernals, and Mr..
Brown is confident that it will make a
greater yield to the acre than the var
ieties usually sown.
The fruit shipments from North

ry for loading before time for the reg
