THE ASSOCIATION.
Another Bunch of Fast Horses Arrived
Today--Ceebrated Queen T on
the Track.

The prospects for a large attendance
and splendid races in Walla Walla May
1928 are growing more encouraging
every day. Every race has been filled
and some of the best horses in this
part Of the United States are to be
SEEN Speculation is rife as to the
qualities of Garvin Wilkes, Tacoma
horse which has been entered IN the
2: 80 pace This horse is an unknown
quantity, but it is reported spectators
will see some going. All reports so far
about the "Unknown' indicate a sur
prise Already there are nearly $50
horses at the track of the Walla Walla
County Fair association, and every
morning they are working in anticipa-
ton Of the coming event Several car
loads are expected within a few days
from Boise and Baker City, and stable
room is already at a premium.
The officers of the Walla Walla
County Fair association have made
every effort to make this the best track
on the circuit, and visitors may be as
sured that every race will be run on
it's merits. Robert Leighton, of Van
couver the best known judge in the
Pacific northwest. will be at Walla
Walla to start the races, and his pres

In addition it is the fastest track in
the West, and already some new rec
ords have been made. Special rates
to the races have been granted by all
roads leading to Walla Walla.

rived from Boise this morning to take
part in the spring race meeting. There
were seven very speedy animals in the

runners are expected to arrive tomor-
row from Seattle.

WALDORF SHUTS OFF

NEW YORK. May 24.-No longer will
the policemen on the beat that includes
the Waldorf Hotel live on the fat OF the
land.
1t has been the custom for some time
for the city blueboats TO dine IN the
servants room at the Waldarf and pay
nothing for their meals. High living has

prietor Boldt has shut down on dainties.

are doing so for the amusement OF
the thing, and that every one of them
could quit work and &c home and
fold her hands. if she so chose.
In few cases this may be so, but
oddly enough, these cases are usually
found in callings in which little or
no opposition to women workers
exists. There are a great many
teachers in this country who are
teaching because they like the extra
money and the better social position
which their work gives them, and
who are enabled to secure positions
because of social connection rather
than merit Yet nobody nowadays
teaching. 1t is in the world of bust
ness that they encounter opposition.
and there is probably not one busi-
ness woman in ten who deliberately
chose to become a business woman.
How did they get into their pres
ent positions? How does the aver
age man get into his? In most cases
it was necessary, for one reason or
another, for the woman to do some
thing. She would have been willing
to marry, probably, if the right man
happened to come along, but a hui
man being needs food and clothing
and shelter, and the woman cannot
sit up under a glass case and wait
for the man, any more than the man
can pursue a similar course while
looking for wife. A very large pro-
portion of Sc supporting women are
supporting helpless mothers, sis
tiers, or children, and in few cases,
fathers or husbands. They cannot
marry without bur1ening their hus-
bands with the support of these rela-
tives. and this is in many cases i'm
practicable. So they give up the idea
of marriage and earn money. 1t is
their Kismet. They may be fright
full failures in industry, they may
even fail of their highest develop
ment, but & great many people have
to do that in this world, and it is
perhaps better to be a frightful fail
ure than to starve to death. At any
rate, anybody who has ever tried the
starvation process is likely to think
so.
1t is about time to cease discussing
women in a lump, and understand
that the mass is ,made up of indi-
viduals, each of whom has her own
especial problem to solve. and is solv-
ing it to the best of her ability. In
most cases the problem is created by
conditions over which the individual
has no control.

Clerks Reported to Be Doing No More
Because of Longer Hours.
The man who invented the proverb
about the ease of leading a horse TO

him drink was one of the most saga
cious and far-sighted of the observers
Of human nature His wisdom has
received a new proof in the way in
which the clerks in the Government
departments are said to he taking the
4:30 closing order. There seems to
be a general disposition to admit that
no more work is done than was done
when the departments closed a la
fOur-o'-clOck./
There are many hundred clerks in
Uncle Sans employ, and to make
any or all of them work when they
do not choose to work is a practical
impossibility. Every teacher knows
the futility of trying to disturb some
cid established tradition against the
will Of the majority of the school. It
takes all of the teachers time to de-

devices of the pupils 1t would take

Public School Principals.
Curious Phenomenon Observed in New
York Schools.

Curious Phenomenon Observed in New
York Schools.
J. NJ. Rice. editor of the Forum"
who has been studying New York
public schools, says that in compar-
ing the results of teaching in differ
ent schools. he finds that the school
average depends not on the different
teachers. but apparently on the prin-
cipal In other words, the teachers
in one school will present high aver
ages, and those in another low aver
ages, and the best teacher in a weak
school is usually equal to the poorest
teacher in a strong school.
Like most statistical deductions,
this may be upset by considering all
the faces. The weak school may, in
city like New York, be situated in
ward in which all the people are IL
literate immigrants, while the strong
school may be made up OF pupils who
have had some advantages at home
All the same. there seems to be good
reason to think that the principals
ability to evoke teaching power has
more to do with the effectiveness of
the school than anything else.
Every teacher who has formed a
unit in the great machine of pub
lie school system knows that the at
titude Of the principal has more to do
with her efficiency than any other one
thing save her own personal ability
to teach. A finicky, unsympathetic.
careless, or prejudiced principal can
do a public school more harm than
any one teacher with the same quail
ties, for, as our schools are organized,
the principal is in control of the sit
uatlon. The teacher may know that
with her particular room full of chill
dren a lecture on nature study would
be helpful, or continual drill in spell
ing useful; bat if the principal is OPP
posed 10 it there is nothing she can
do. Prejudice on the part of this ON
nipotent being may demoralize a
weak teacher and destroy the influ-
ence of a strong one. II is q lament
able fact that in many cases the pub
lie school principal is a young man to
whom teaching is not a carefully
chosen life work. but a sort of make
shift Men of this type do not Otter
