GOVERNMENT STATISTICS SHOW

LESS THAN WOMEN.

Washington, June 14.-The federal
bureau of education. following the
Recommendation of Professor Edward
i. Thorndike, Of Columbia univer-
|sity, has adopted the plan OF separat-

to two divisions, for the purpose OF
securing greater simplicity and fur

have been arranged In series OF

each year, the five-year cycle to be
repeated Indefinitely.
This five-year cycle will cover
many subjects Of the utmost import

years work will be devoted to "the

The bureau of education has just

with the first of the subjects named
above, and obviously 1t will be five
years before it will have been able to
get down to the last one. The series
as a whole, once it is we'll started, 1t
lis believed will throw increasing light
Ion schools and teachers in the United
States, and enable the legislative
bodies in each of the states and cities
of the country to approach the diff
ficult problem connected with educa-
tional work with somewhat more OF
certainty than hitherto.
The pamphlet discussing the teach
ing force fills sixty pages. 1t dis.
cusses a variety of significant facts
with reference to the education, ex-
lperience AMI pay of teachers in the
secondary schools Of the land, and
shows what relationship pay bears to
education, experience and sex. The
bureau Of education officials hope
that the facts adduced by them In
this report will "be of use in many
ways to the authorities in charge Of
our educational system and to that
general public on whose opinion oul
systems of education must rest"
A few extracts from the report will
give a pretty good idea as to it's con-

FINDS A REMEDY
FOR TREE PESTS
ED HARTMAN USES A SOLUTION
OF BOILED SAGE BRUSH AND
WATER TO SPRAY TREES IN
YAKIMA-MOST EFFECTIVE.

A new remedy has been discovered
for the, determination of pests of all,
kinds that infest fruit trees and 1t is
no other than solution of water and
sage brush, says the Yakima Repub-
lie. According to Ed Hartman. fore
man at Pat Mullins ranch, six miles
northwest of the city between, the
Selah and the Naches, the solution is
the best he has yet found and is the
most effective. The cheapness Of the
article need not be argued.
Equimpent Is Simple.
Hartman has been using the solu-
ton for some little time ana Pat Null
Inns says that his trees are In fine
shape. Hartman has his own little
manufacturing plant which consists
only of a kettle and a paddle with
which he stirs the solution. The ket-
tie is suspended from two supports
and a mixture of sage brush and
water put In. Then a fire is built
under it and the solution made quite
strong.
Pests Avoid Sage Brush.
In connection with the merits OF
the remedy, Mr.. Mullins points out
that none of the pests which attack
a fruit tree are ever seen on. sage
brush and argues that II they do not
attack that kind of vetation it is
pretty good proof that the vegetable
matter is of such nature as to be
harmful.
Mr.. Hartman is meeting with sue
cess in keeping his trees free from
pests and the remedy appears worthy
of consideration.
