How Helen Keller "sees."

Think of one blind and deaf from
early childhood who finds the world
"alive, ruddy, and satisfying" That is
Helen Keller's own expression; and
certainly 1t is unique and important
human document which is promised in
her essays on Sense and Sensibility,"
the first to appear in the February
Century. Here she tells. to the world
for the first time, how she "sees" and
hears:
How can the world be shriveled
when this most profound, emotional
sense, touch. is faithful to its service?
I am sure that If fairy babe me
choose between the sense of sight and
that of touch, would not part with
the warm, endearing contact Of human
hands or the wealth Of form, the no.
bility and fullness that press into my
palms"

Nanny Liza has lived with the

words and expressions. which, used at
second hand, are sometimes fatal to
the family gravity. Recently men,

call for the horse and surrey from
the livery stable. After waiting q
long while the order was repeated,
with no immediate result Nanny,
having heard the conversation, and
knowing the impatience of her mis-
tress, expressed herself thus:
Huh! Dey's jes' no use countin' on

Dear Superintendent or Principal:
At q recent meeting of the State

of Importance to the high schools Of
the state we're considered and action
was decided upon some:
l. In no case does the High School
Board consider it proper to graduate
pupils who have not completed all of
the constants required by the high
school course. What these are, may
be ascertained by referring t the
Manual.
2. That hereafter. to no pupils who
have received a credit from the High
School Board in general history will
certificates be issued in ancient and
modern history. 1t has been found
that many pupils have been able to
secure three credits for one years.
work in General history.
3. That on and after September
1909 manual training and domestic
science shall be considered as a re-
quirement for first class rating and
that these subjects are strongly urged
as part of the work to be offered by
high schools of the second and third
class. A more definite statement of
what is required will be issued later.
4. That no examination will be Of
fered by the High School Board in
physiology and civics to grade pupils.
s. That commercial arithmetic be
added to the list of electives as a one
half year credit.
6. That the High School Board
earnestly recommends that adequate
provision be made in every building
designed for high school purposes
for an assembly room and also {
gymnasium, and that the matter Q
proper ventilation be given especia
attention. l. has been ascertained b,
the High School Inspector that man,
buildings recently constructed TO
high school purposes are sadly dc
icient in these particulars.

PHELPS ENEoRCEs THE LAW.
Fearless District Attorney Is Candi-
date for Reelection.

uapO AOH AbCCACCdOhs
After four years in the office Of dis
trlct attorney for Umatilla and Nor
row counties, Gilbert w. Phelps comes
before the people as the regular re-
publican nominee for an endorsement
Of his policies and second term.
Mr.. Phelps needs no introduction
to the people Of Umatilla and Nor
row counties, for those who do not
know him personally know him off,
cially. When elected Mr.. Phelps said
he would enforce the laws and the
people know very we'll that he has
kept his word, for the laws upon the
statute books have been enforced.
II in the enforcement OF these laws
Mr.. Phelps has trampled upon the
toes of some people and thereby in
Cured their enmity, 1t is a tribute to
his qualities as an official for II the
people do not want the laws they
should be repealed, but so long as
they remain upon the statute books it
is his duty to enforce them.
The success of criminal prosecu-
tions in both counties has been uni
formly flattering. Mr.. Phelps has not
filled the dockets with petty and un-
certain cases. but has always thor
oughly investigated the charges and
has brought prosecution only in those
cases where the law had been clearly
violated and where violated and where
there was every reason to believe that
the prosecution would be successful.
In all other cases he has either in
duced pleas Of guilty or dismissed. the
charge, thereby saving the taxpayers
large sums of money for petty prose-
cutions which could never amount to
anything more than acqulttals.
He has conducted the office of dis
trict attorney fairly and impartially,
recognizing neither friend nor enemy.
but giving to all that equality which
the law presumes. For those reasons,
and for many others. Mr.. Phelps is en-
titled to the support Of the republicans
at the June election.
