one OF the most difficult problems
that confronts county school superin-
tendents and educators in Eastern
Oregon, is that of the small country
school, in which there are not enough
pupils to near justify the running of
the school. County superintendent
Frank X. Welles has given considera-
BILE study to the matter in this coun-
ty, and in view of the fact that the an
nual school elections will be held next
Monday, June 19, he gave the follow
ing to the East Oregonian this morn
ing, in order. that the subject may be
taken up by the citizens of the various
districts at that time:
Suspension of Schools.
As most of the public school fund is
divided among the school districts in
proportion to the number of children
residing in the district it follows that
districts containing but a few chill
dren receive only a small amount of
money for school purposes.
There are about 80 or these districts
in Umatilla county, and although most
of them vote large special tax every
year, few of them can have more
than three or four months of school.
The legislature of 1903 passed a
/ law that is intended to help these
small schools. and wherever this law
has been applied, it has proven a
/ great benefit. This law provides for
the temporary suspension of schools
and is given on page 1873 of the Ore
gon School Laws.
Under this law the voters may a
the annual school meeting, or at {
special meeting called for the pur
pose, suspend the school for year OF
longer, aud the money which il
thereafter apportioned to the dis
trict is used by the directors in pro
viding for the instruction of the chill
dren in some adjoining or other dis
trict. or districts where school i
being taught.
A district which has suspended it
school does not lose it's organization
but retains all its officers and handle
its own money the same as thougI
the school were not suspended.
The following table shows the tota
enrolment in some of these sma
schools. and it must be remembers
! that the average daily attendance wi
p fall considerably below the enroll
r ment:

STEVENS ANNUAL REPORT
TELLS OF THE WORK OF THE
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

Turned $4,000 into State Treasury
from Fertilizer and Oil Inspection.
Weevil Quarantine Enforced.
The annual report of the state de-
partment of agriculture, O. B. Stew
ems commissioner, has been issued
from the press. This report contains
number of interesting facts regard
ing the work of this department with
which, perhaps, the public is not gen
orally familiar.
The department maintains four cat
tie inspectors in Rabun, Towns, Union
and Fannin counties, the only counties
in Georgia from which cattle can be
shipped under the United States quar-
antine laws to the markets of the north
and west.
By careful economy the department
has saved from the annual appropri-
alton of Sl0,0 900 during the past four
years 50, ZOO, which has been turned
back into the state treasury, notwith-
standing during that time it has
issued and distributed 10, 900 copies of
Georgia ever published.
Lie OSpdIGLu6Au mas dlSO 1SSucu tSOVO
copies of comprehensive book on
"Georgia's Resources and Advant-
ages" some of which are still on
hand and now being distributed.
The department received during the
year S92, 1877 from fertilizer inspec-
ton fees, of which 500, 811.57 was
turned into the state treasury for the
school fund, the balance going to pay
the expenses of inspection.
The department received $34, 449. 80
from the inspection of oils, of which
$40, 593.28 was turned into the state
treasury for the school fund.
State Chemist John M. McCandless
reports the inspection of more than
700,0 900 tons of fertilizer during the
year, which necessitated a larger
number of chemical analysis than ever
before in the history Of the depart
ment
The state entomologist, r. l. Smith,
reports the inspection of 2l0 nurseries,
to 178 of which certificates were issued.
There were also inspected 1913 orch
ards, in ffty-eight of which the San
Jose scale was found.
The boil weevil quarantine has been
strictly enforced.

THEY NOW HAVE NIGHT SHIRTS
County COnvicts Provided With Slum-
Der Robes of Striped Pattern.

The convicts worked on the Terrell
county roads must hereafter sleep in
night shirts. For the enlightenment of
the modest reader it must be explain
ed that some time ago the state prison
commission ordered that sleeping APP
parel must be provided for all con-
victs in Georgia, and the Terrell
county commissioners therefore placed
an order for the requisite number of
slumber robes.
This does not mean at all that pink
pajamas will in time supercede the
present garments. There was not the
slightest thought of fastidiousness
connected with the order. 1t was
prompted by good sense.
The pattern of the recently acquired
robes is striped-not white. The wear
ers thereof have been instructed fully
as to what they are intended for.

! morning and the annual musical
litaI at night. The music for the
Orring exercises was furnished by
s. Sears and her class. There
re two graduates, Win Gunnels
Il Miss Kate Collins. Both per-
med their parts very creditably.
l. most enjoyable feature of the pro-
|am was the literary address by Mr..
In. Hankins. superintendent Of the
wson public schools. He took for
subject 1.-The Difficulties of Life, "
Ia he handled it in a truly masterful
inner. His address was pronounced
those who heard it as one OF the
lest they had ever had the pleasure
hearing. After the address Profess
Huffaker made a few remarks, and
en delivered the diplomas to the
sduates. He also delivered state
ttfcates to five. Joe Parker, Beach
lrker, Paris Hill, Will Gunnels and
Rte Collins, for having satisfactO-
" completed the common school
bdies for the state of Georgia.
The exercises at night consisted OF
ngs. instrumental music, tableauX,
etc. The large crowd
esent thoroughly enjoyed the num-
Fs on theprOgram.
New teachers have been elected to
ke the places of the present literary
Bchers. Prof. S. D. Rickenbaker OF

Isses Lila Green and Ethel Hill the
sistants. Professor Rickenbaker
S educated in North Carolina and

ry highly recommended. Miss

bools, and Miss Hill, a native OF
'onwood, is attending Wesleyan
llege. Under these capable teachers
'onwood expects to have fine
hOol next year.
The question as to who will be at the
ad of the music department has not
en- definitely settled. The present
lcher, Miss Sears, gave universal
hsfactiOn, and she has been re-elect-
but as she has also been elected at
