The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-07-02
CHANGES ARE PROPOSED
NEW SYSTEM OF HOLDING
EIGHTH GRADE EXAMlNA.
TONS ARE SUGGESTED.
Dates Be Changed so as to Be Held in
January, May and September
of Each Year.

State Superintendent E. L. Bryan of
Washington has submitted to the diff
ferent county school superintendent a
plan, which if adopted, will radically
change the time of holding the eighth
grade examinations. Hitherto these
have been held in January, April and
will be on the first Thursday of jan
uary, May and September. This is to
give those children who are obliged to
leave before school closes to work an
opportunity to take the examination
before school begins in the fall, so they
can enter the high schools. 1t will
affect a large number of children in
the city and also in the county who are
obliged to take this examination before
they can enter the upper grades. The
sessions will hereafter last two days.
Another proposed change is that if
| a student gets over so per cent in any
subject ne can keep that grade till
| the next examination. At the second
examination he need only take those
subjects in which his grade fell below
so per cent before. Thus if he can get
over 80 per cent in all the studies in
three trials he is passed. This will be
a great advantage to those taking the
examination as heretofore it was neces-
sary to get over so in four studies &c
have it count If the proposed changes
meet with the approval of the different
county superintendent they will go in
| to effect at once.

EngIands aAncient Lights. -

Englishmen, at least the more pro-
gressive among them, are finally
awakening TO the absurdity Of the old
law which establishes what are known
as ancient lights" Under this law
windows which have been in existence
for nineteen years or more cannot be
deprived Of light by construction of
neighboring buildings without due
compensation having been made to the
owner. In other words. an owner of
land cannot erect a building which Will
shut in any Of the windows Of neigh
boring buildings, providing the latter
have been in existence for nineteen
or more years, without making himself
liable to extensive damages. Moreover,
the damaged owner can prevent the
erection Of any such building which will
take away his light if he wishes TO do
so. The light, by virtue of the time he
has enjoyed 1t, has become a part Of
his property. Efforts are now being
made to have this relic Of past ages
repealed. It is this more than anything
else that has prevented the erection of
high buildings in London.-Exchange.

THISTLE TEAM
WINS MATCH
Their Opponents Not Appear
ing, Referee Logan Awards
Game to San Francisco Men
VAMPIRES BEAT HORNETS
Eight Disgruntled Oaklanders
Are Easy Victims of Crack
Eleven From Alameda County

Yesterday proved an unsatisfactory
one for the lovers of association foot
ball. So many of the players thought
the ground at Idora Park would be too
wet for play that they failed to put in
an appearance.
The match between the Thistle and
PickWick teams for the championship
of the California league was not played,
being forfeited to the Thistles, who had
their full team on the ground, while
only one member of the Pickwick elev-
en- was on hand. At 1 p. m, the time
set for beginning play, the Thistle team
went into the field, in the center of
which the ball was placed. kicked it
down and into the net, scoring a goal.
Norman Logan, the referee, awarded
the match to the Thistles, who scored
two points.
At p. m. the match between the
Oakland Hornets and the Vampires be-
gan. The Vampires had a full team,
but the Hornets began with only seven
players, one more joining them later.
The Hornets seemed much disgruntled
and played rough, quarrelsome game,
In which they were encouraged by in
judicious supporters on the side lines.
Referee G. w. Irish awarded three or
four free kicks within the penalty area
to the Vampires and many free kicks
in the field.
In the first few minutes of play Kay
kicked a goal for the Vampires, and
soon afterward Petersen scored a goal
from a penalty kick. A second penalty
kick awarded to the Vampires was
taken by Petersen, but went to one side
of the goal. In the second half the
Vampires scored two more goals, one
being from a penalty kick. During this
period Shand, the center forward of the
Hornets, was ruled off the field by the
referee for refusal to comply with in
structionS.
The Vampires were represented by a
new man as goalkeeper; Petersen, cap
tain and left back; Theberge, right
back; Harwood, left halfback; Turner,
center halfback; Glarner, right half
back; Lees, outside left forward; Kay,
inside left forward; Wilding. center
forward; Shovel, inside right, and
Buchly, outside right.
The following players wore the black
and orange jersey of the Hornets: Pom
eroy, goalkeeper; Mckenzie, fullback;
Bird and Chambers, halfbacks; Pod
more, Morrison, Shand and Cowell, for
wards.
The ground, though soft, was in fair
condition at the opening of the game,
but a light rain which fell during the
play rendered the grass slippery and
falls We're frequent.
In the morning there was to have
been match on the ground at Webster
street, Alameda, between the hospital
corps and the second eleven of the
Vampires, but on account of the alb
sence of the latter it did not take place.
The members of the hospital corps and
some players picked up on the ground
took part in a practice game.

No

"No."
"Or if you can stop over for two
weeks somewhere to visit your Aunt

No"
The clerk leaped over the counter.
