dition than did those pupils of the
village, who had walked but a few
blocks"
How do the pupils themselves like
the changer" asked the reporter.
IS So far as know, they are well sat-
isfied." Here a smile was visible on
the teachers face, and he added: ut
was lust a few days ago that l over
heard a group of children talking and
some of the younger children from the
other district remarked that they had
lots more fun this year than iast be-
cause there were more to play with
Rut one of the older ones more sagely
remarked that "a person can tell now
where he will be next year. By this
ne meant that eacn years work would
allow him to pass to the next higher
grade. whereas before the school work
had been indeterminate.'
The reporter next visited one of the
directors who informed him that the
EXPENSE of transportation was $40
month. 1--WE secure the driver and his
team for that sum and are sure we can
always do as we'll. You see the driver
has the school hours and school holi-
DAYS for his own work. The Whit
man district usually paid it's teacher
$50. So you see there is left above
the hire of transportation, SO a month
which. with the bonus the state laws
allow to every consolidated district
is quite sucient to pay for the ed
ucation of the children.
Briefly speaking the proposition
was this: We have four teachers;
Whitman had one. Both districts had
five teachers. The districts were con-
solidated and now four teachers do
the teaching and a man is hired to
transport the pupils. So you can see
that expenses are just about the same
as ever. It was a venture. But two
months have passed and we are quite
sure that consolidation was a wise
move with us. In fact we still look
forward for more territory to be add
ed to u.s.

LIMITING OF COLLEGE PLACE
AND WHITMAN DISTRICTS
SATISFACTORY.

COLLEGE PLACE, Nov. 4.-The col
7eee place public school claims the dis
tinction of being the first district IN
Walla Walla county to venture in con-
solidation While a large number OF
schools in western Washington have
heen consolidated, very little has been
attempted in that direction in this part
of the state The one organized at
College Place has Just finished its sec
ond month, and it is to be hoped by
the county superintendent and other
comfy educators that the excellent
workings of this district will cause
several other consolidated districts to
be formed in Walla Walla county.
Those who advocate consolidated
districts maintain that the benefits OF
a farm home and a graded school are
secured to the children of such dis
tricts-benefits which tend to de-
velop citizenship of the highest type.
A reporter for the Statesman visited
the district to learn of it's workings.
One of the teachers informed him that
the district which had been added was
the Whitman district, joining the Col
lege Place district on the west. This
district" said the teacher, was like
most of the districts in a wheat
country, large territory with a small
number of pupils. l think the usual
attendance was twelve pupils and these
in several grades. Since the CONSOLE
dation these pupils have been distrib-
uted among the various grades of the
College Place school, where they have
many other pupils by which to measure
themselves.
For the purpose of transporting
these pupils a carryall has been pur-
chased by the district which passes
the pupils home bringing them to the
school on time and with less exposure

country boy or girl experiences. In

is true, that a blind mans library has
been in existence for some time at
Stepney, but it was altogether made
Quate to supply the demand for such
books. The small library proved a
success and municipalities in all parts
of the country decided to establish

not only to extend the system of
branch libraries for blind people, but to
have books, either in the dot system,

wealthy and prominent society people
are interested in the movement and it
is expected that contributions will be

them with books.

Objects to "uncIe Toms Cabin"

Wilbur N. Roe of Columbus, Ohio,
Is writing to governors of states ask
ing them to recommend the passage
of laws forbidding theaters to produce
the play Of Uncle Toms Cabin" Mr..
Roe objects to the play because, he
says, it misrepresents the people of
the south, and he says that every
state should pass such law, so that
while stump speakers in one hall are
talking of the elimination of sectional
hatred in the United States in the
next hall there may not be company
teaching the people that Uncle Tom
was killed in the south because he
was good. His protest is based on
the political and not on the artistic
idea.

In 1869 Mr.. Thomas took his or
chestra on tour through the country
and made similar journeys with them
during the two succeeding years.
Mr.. Thomas work was largely done

of it in Chicago. The first concerts of
the Thomas orchestra in Chicago we're

In 1872 Mr.. Thomas directed the
first musical festival in Cincinnati and
had been the conductor in these great
musical events, occurring biennially,
from that time. He was the director
of the Cincinnati College of Music
from 1873 to 1880, and was the di-
rector of the New York and Brooklyn
Philharmonic orchestras from 1889 to
1891. He directed the performances
of the American Opera company, or

browning success of his life in that
city. He brought the efficiency Of the

Longest Continuous Term Has Been
That of Allison of Iowa.
With the advent of the new year
and Senator William b. Allison of
Iowa still in his seat, his mind as
fresh, his body as active and his ca
pacity for work as great as ever, he
now holds the record for the longest
continuous service in that august
body. What is more, his present term
does not expire until 1909. And If
his health continues good he will seek
reelection.
Senator Allisons record to this date
is thirty-one years, nine months and
twenty-six days. Until two days ago
the late Senator Morrill, held the rec
ord for the longest continuous serv-
ice. While Senator Allison holds the
longest continuous service record, he
has not as yet attained the longest
actual service record, which belongs
to the history of John Sherman.

many less formidable astronomical
festivities. In the two years he has
travelled, in round numbers, $4,000
miles on railroad trains and steam
boats, in automobiles and stage
coaches. His range has been from

Theodore Thomas Life Work.

Theodore Thomas, one of the most
eminent figures in the world Of music,
was born in Essen, Hanover, Oct. IL,
1885. His father, violinist, gave him
his first instruction in music, and the
boy made such progress that he made
successful public appearances at the
age of 6. The family immigrated to
America in 1916 and his education was
finished under the direction of private
instructors in New York city. Mr..
Thomas was educated as a violinist
and began his musical career as a per-
former upon that instrument. He was
first violinist in some of the leading
orchestras, and was for several years
a member of chamber music associa-
tions. Mr.. Thomas played in the or
chestras which accompanied Jenny
Lind, Sontag, Mario, Grisi and other
singers whose names are upon the roll
of the worlds most distinguished and
honored musical artists. He also played
in seasons of Italian grand opera in
which these singers took part, and
often conducted the performances.
After making a decided success as
a player, Mr.. Thomas organized an
orchestra for the purpose of giving
symphony concerts. The first of these
was given in Irving hall, New York,
in the early COS Of the nineteenth cen
fury.
From this time Mr.. Thomas was
known almost solely as conductor,
and made for himself a reputation
that is cosmopolitan. In 1866 Mr..
Thomas interested himself in orches-
den, and a year or two later engaged

INDEPENDENT OF THE EAST.
West and South Amply Able to FL
nance Their Own Affairs.

The West and South are now financ-
ing their own industries. In former
years New York and the Eastern
money centers were annually drawn
upon for funds to move the crops,
handle the cattle shipments and per.
form all of the service in the mar
keting Of the products of the West
and South. AS natural result when
shipping time arrived the producers
sent their shipments to the East, most
of them being necessary to discharge
obligations for money advanced. The
men who had loaned the money were
interested in the railroads leading
toward the Atlantic and thus drew
double tolls from the producers. All
this has been changed to a very re-
markable degree within the last few
years. The West and the South have
their banks filed with money seeking
investment and are able to finance
their own affairs.-Washingt Post.

soldier walking near him stopped. to
watch, with some amusement, the at
tempt of the northerner to masticate
the meat. Whats the matter, Bill'
asked he. "Oh, nothin' much" was
the sullen reply. Then, disgustedly
regarding piece OF beef that he
held in his hand, the Yankee added:

when they talk about the sinews of
war"
