Jessie, who could not resist the temp

At that instant Morris directed his

Blake box. The smile of joy when
he recognized Jessie turned to one
of blank amaZement when he saw
James Blake. In response to Blake s
signal the dazed Morris was picking
his way through the crush. Blake
led Jessie to the rear of the box.

Jessie's laughing eyes admitted the
truth and Blake looked properly con-
fused.

An Olympia dispatch says that
"only two of the sixty pupils in Thurs
ton county who took the eighth grade
examinations were successful, al
though sixteen received so per cent
IN part of their studies. State Sup
erintendent Bryan is determined that
the standard of scholarship in the
first year in high schools shall be
raised, and accordingly prepared a
rather rigid list of questions. The
superintendent should be encouraged
by teachers throughout the state
and by public sentiment in his efforts
to establish a higher standard of
scholarship in the pubEc schools.
Eighth grade examinations have hith-
erto been little more than a farce.

harmful rather than helpful, inasmuch

have given pupils grades that they
did not merit and encouraged them
