The New Business Course.

One Of the valuable and perhaps
the most practical of the branches
of our public school system is the
Commercial High School It's pro-
ducts have for years justified the
institution to local business men.
Girls and boys from its halls have
gone directly into our stores, job
biug houses and offices, supplying
a maximum grade of intelligence at
q reasonable cost, andy virtue of
a good general training, as well as
a marketable special training-have
advanced rapidly in Washington's
business field.
All this has been achieved with
high school course of two years.
The school program has now been
changed to grant the student either
the old two years training, or
new, broader. slower course of four
years. In these extra facilities, we
think the community viii find
genuine satisfaction.
For two years of high school
teaching graduate the child at
the age of sixteen. In all,
save exceptional instances, this
is manifestly too soon. The
mind natures rapidly, it makes
unusual and important progress, it
often determines all the limitations
of the after life, in the years be-
tween fourteen and eighteen; and
progress during those years is in
variably hampered or stopped by
the withdrawal of trained leader
ship and the occupation at work of
The child's whole day.
Moreover, no course of study,
however carefully planned, can con-
tain its proper proportion of Eng
Ish and mathematics, its general
study for personal culture, and its
special study in business branches
such as shorthand, bookkeeping,
and banking. Something is neces-
sarily sacrificed. Whatever it is. is
costly.
Even so, the board does well not
10 abolish the old two-years pro-
gram. There are some students
who cannot spare four years. They
should do so, but they cannot. Also
there are students in the academic
and scientific courses who would
profit by two years Of business

The Warmth Of q Snow House,

Usually our snow igloOs allowed each
man from eighteen to twenty inches
space in which to lie down and just
room enough to stretch his legs we'll.
With our sleeping bags they were en-
tirely comforta bic. no matter what the
weather outside. The snow is porous
enough to admit OF adr circulation, but
even a gale Of wind without would not
affect the temperature within. 1t Is
claimed by the natives that when the
wind blows snow house Is warmer
than In a period Of still cold. I could
see no difference. A new snow igloo
IS, however, more comforta BILE than one
that has been used, for newly cut
snow blocks are more porous. In one
that has been used there is always a
crust Of ice on the interior which pre-
vents a proper circulation of air.-Dil-

would otherwise have been. Howey-

means There was a large number OF

The circus, known for a half centu-
ry as "the greatest show on EARTH is
by far the best tented attraction that
has appeared in Richmond for years.
The show is larger than ever and the
acts are run off with the precision of
clock work. Every act is feature
and when the performance is over one
leaves the tent with a headache from
trying to watch four rings, a plat
form and numerous trapeze stunts at
the same time.
Animals Were Attractive.
The animals in the exhibit tent
were numerous and attracted much
attention, especially the giraffes, ami
mails seldom seen in captivity. There
were three of these curious animals
and the populace to get a glimpse at
the heads of the beasts got kinks in
their necks rubbering skyward. The
big hippo was also a center of attrae-
ton. The monkey cage was popular
place with the young people.
The reckless female who rides the
auto in the dip of death sent many
chills chasing up and down the spines
of the audience by her dare devil act.
The ski jumpers were also novel fea-
lures to the show. The usual number
of gilt and silver spangled bareback
riders of both sexes was on hand to
make the crowd realize that it was at
tending a regular American circus and
not an immense movable hippodrome.
People of this section will welcome
Barnum and Bailey any time the big
show desires to play an engagement
here, but everyone hopes that the next
visit of the circus here a parade will
be given. The American citizen will
never become reconciled to a circus
without a street parade.

Deputy Game and Fish Commissioner
VIII Tiff is investigating the report
Power company is turning its refuse
oil into the Whitewater river, thus
killing the fish by hundreds. Mr.. Tiff
has spoken to Manager Lane of the gas
company, and it is sa;d that he has ex-
pressed willingness to comply with
the law, which required that refuse oil
be burned and not be allowed to pol
lutte the streams
A few years ago a number of grand
jury indictments were returned against
the company for the same offense. The
late VIII Roney, who was then mana
ger of the gas company, kept his COM
pany from being prosecuted by prom
Use to stop the pollution of the stream.
He kept his word and fishermen inter-
ested say that they believe Manager
Lane, who is now in charge. violated
the promise only through ignorance of
it having been made.
Good Fishing Possible.
If the present trouble is rectified, as
it very likely will be, fishing in the
Whitewater and its tributaries should
be good this season. Already num-
Der of fine catches of bass have been
made and channel cat are said to be
plentiful The running season this
year, fishermen say was earlier than
common. 1t is customary for the fish
to come up stream in april during the
warm freshets. There were no warm
freshets during the last April, but fish.
ermen say that the fish took advantage
of the good running weather in March
and now in great abundance are wait
