The temperature of the school room
should be kept constantly at TO- de-
grees F. throughout the coldest winter
weather. Heating and ventilation Oft
en- go hand in hand, but some heating
plants are better adapted than others
to bring about proper ventilation, with
out the use of special appliances. Thus
hot air furnace always produces
good circulation of the air and thus
favors ventilation, although there may
be other objections to the use of hot
air furnaces. Stoves also favor ven
tilation but 1t is difficult TO get an even
distribution OF heat in room that is
heated by a stove.
Lighting.
1t is very essential that all school
houses should be properly lighted.
This means both an ample supply Of
light and the proper Introduction OF

strike the pupil from in front, but
from the side and behind, preferably

BIG FLAG IS IN DEMAND.
The Monster Flag Made by Mrs,
H. E. Mitchell to be Unfurled
BY President Taft

The big American flag made by
Mrs. H. E Mitchell, wife of Captain
Mitchell. u. S. A., commandant and
military instructor at Washington
State College, will be used Ia the
opening exercises of the Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacihc exposition at Seattle, on
June /. The management of the
big fair has arranged to use the flag,
which is said to be the largest in The
world in the opening of the expos!-
uon A REQUEST fer the use OF the
flag was received by Mrs. Mitchell
who has loaned it 20 the exposition.
A big cable will be stretched more
than 90 feet above the ground and
the flag will be hung in folds from
this. 1t will be looped up by patent
fasteners which VIII be attached to
electric wires and when President
Taft, sitting in the parlor Of ;he
Whitehouse OF Washington, d. c.,
touches the button and sets the
wheels of the big fair in motion, he
will also release the flag and it will
fall gracefully down until it is
stretched its fall length C10 fccO
alm0s, to the ground
This will be a novel and pretty
feature OF the opening day. It is
one that will attract much attention
and VIII bring Pullman and Washing
ton State COLLEGE prominently be-
fore tens of thousands Of PEOPLE
from all parts of the word. Mrs.
Mitchell has been honorcd by the ex-
position management, but the honor
is deserved, for the flag is admitted
ly the largest in the world and has at
tracted attention across the ocean
The London Daily Graphic, the lead
ing illustrated paper Of Fnglard, has
sent for a photograph of the flag to
be used in it's illustrations. The
Seattle Post-Intelli gencer recently

on its front page, with a brief story
of the flag, and the interest it is

Accident Occurred at Wawa-
wal. Military Funeral;
Burial at Reardon.

Not since Washington State College
was established has anything hap
pened which has cast such deep
gloom over the school and the COM
munity as the accidental killing of
X. E. Davidson, one of the most pop
ular and most beloved students of the
college, last Tuesday. Davidson had
accompanied Tabor LaFollette, the
University of Oregon debating team
and d. p. Murdock to Wawawai, the
intention being to give the Oregon
debating team a delightful ride in
La FOllette's automobile and show
them the country and the big orchard
at Wawawai
The party started out full of life
and hope and joy. The day was
ideal for such a trip, the roads were
fine and the young men composing
the party had everything to make
them happy. They took several guns
with them for the purpose of shoot
ing squirrels on the road. The big
touring car was left at the top of
Wawawai hill after a rapid run to
that point, and the young men walk
ed down the steep hill to the old HON e
lily. Many shot were tred at squir-
rels as they went down the hill and
the guns became dirty
Reaching the La Toilette home the
party sat down to rest, cool off and
drink of the COOL delicious water.
After resting a while they decided
to clean their guns and two of the
Oregon boys were using the ram
rods, wiping their guns when Mr..
Davidson took his gun apart and pre-
pared to clean it. There were but
two ram rods and both were in use.
The following story of the tragedy
was told by three members of the
Oregon debating team who were the
eve witnesses to the terrible tragedy:
How Davidson was Shot
eve were in that position, two OF
us cleaning our guns when Mr.. David
son took his gun apart and stepped
I'D near US, and waited for one OF the
ram rods we were using. Mr.. Muir
dock sat down behind Mr.. Davidson,
sitting on a bench, and started to take
his gun apart to clean it. There was
a shot and Mr.. Davidson fell. He
pitched forward and sank down with
out a groan or murmur. 1t was
done so quickly and We were SO
startled it is difficult to state just
how it happened, but the gun in Mr.
Murdock's hands was discharged and
the ball entered Mr.. Dayidson's head
and passed clear through. 1t is such
q terrible thing we can't realize just
how it happened, but we know that

of the most handsome floral offerings
ever seen here, the gift of friends
and classmates of the deceased stu
dent. Mr.. Davidson, Sr. was heart
broken and it was with difficulty

a full military funeral, under the
direction of Captain Mitchell and the
full cadets, who appeared in full uni

Go and See it

What is expected to be the great
est game of ball ever played in Pull

and tarbers of the Artesian city. The
game is TO be played next Sunday and

POPULAR ". S. c. STUDENT IS KILLED
K. E. Davidson Accidently Shot by His
Friend Tuesday Afternoon.

no one was to blame. Mr. Murdoch
was almost crazed when he realized
what had happened, but it was not
his fault 1t was just as likely to
have been any one of us as him"
The story was told to the Herald
reporter by the Oregon men, one of
whom did most of the talking and
the others coroberated what he said
All were SO nervous and distracted
that it was difficult for them to talk
at all. They had just reached Pull
man in Mr.. La Follette's automibile
accompanied by Mr.. La Toilette and
Roy and seemed dazed yet These
statements are borne out by others
and investigation shows that it is one
of those terrible accidents for which
no one is really to blame. Mr.. Muir
dock, the unfortunate young man in
whose hands the gun happened to be
when it was discharged is to be
greatly pitied. No one should CEN
sure or condemn him. He will suf-
fer more and longer than anyone,
not even excepting the relatives of
Mr.. Davidson and it is believed that
Mr. Murdockx has the heartfelt SYM
pathy of every one in Pullman and
those connected with the college.
Mr.. Murdoch is the son of the edi-
tor of the Charleston paper, and We'd
nesday morning he was taken in an
autimobile to his home in Charleston
where he can be cared for by his
family. Mr.. Murdock suffered terri
bly, and it was thought a change Of
scene and absolute rest and quiet
were necessary for him. In chapel
Wednesday morning President Bry
an announced that he desired that
the sympathy of all be extended to
Mr.. Murdock, but this seemed al
most unnecessary, for every one in
Pullman gave ann all the sympathy
of which they were capable.
In the death of r. E. Davidson,
Washington State College loses one
of its brightest and most promising
students. He was one of the strong
est men in the school, almost model
of uprightness, honesty and industry.
1t has been said of him that he was
carrying more real business than any
two students in the college. Aside
from athletics he was prominent in
every department He was steward
of the Y. NJ. C. A. dormitory, was
leader in military work and a member
of the crack rife team which won
the championship of the United
States. He was prominent in Sun
day school work and President Bryan
announced that he had never won
