high" school. Prof. Bunker's
scheme is to put a boy through
a course of six grades and grad.
uate him from the elementary
school; then through three
grades completing the ninth) and
graduate him from the "ad-
vanced" school,; from which
point three more years finishes
the high" school.
The scheme has some merit. II
is worth thinking about. Here
are three fairly easy ~stages..in-
stead of two long ones. Your
article says that during the
month of June last there dropped
from the schools AN army OF
100000 children who had failed
|of graduation. The larger frac.
ton of this 100000 educational
failures had completed only six
of the eight grades in the
course of study" Mr.. Bunker
arrangement would graduate this
large fraction from the sixth
grade, and thus make of them ed
ucational successes instead OF
educational failures" as your
article calls them. This simple
modification of our school course
would enable you to write "suc-
cess" instead of failure" in. all
such cases.
By Mr.. Bunker's plan each one
of this large fraction of $780,
900 children" could hold up his
head and say that he had accom-
plished something-not much,
perhaps, but something. 1t is
bad for boy to feel that he has
failed; it is great thing for him
to know that he has accomplished,
completed. finished up, some
thing.
The same argument applies to
the ninth grade. 1t is a notorious
fact that many pupils start into
the high school become discour-
aged. or for some other reason
drop out at the end of the ninth
year. Many rural schools are
able to support only the first
year (ninth grade) of the high
school. Why not make the ninth
year complete in itself, and grad
uate all these at that point? Then
they can hold up their heads and
declare that they have not failed,
but have accomplished some
thing?
Come to think of it, there is no
very great, overmastering reason
why we should continue our
present system of grading, and If
is gained by a change to
some such plan a Mr.. Bunker is
advocating, why not change?
Someone may claim that this
would be lowering the school
and bringing the standard down
to the child instead of bringing
the child up to the standard. Well,
now, possibly that is just the
thing we should do.
After all. it seems to me the
school is made for the child. and
not the child for the school.

A.-You evidently have catarrh
of the nose. with more or less
obstruction of the passages. This
causes you to open the mouth to
breathe easier. The catarrh also
causes a large part of the dad

sluggish. Simplify the diet. Get
the bowels regular. Consult

until she was almost tempted to
push the little cuckoo out; but she
was too kind and motherly for
that. Then suddenly she laughed,
If ever bird did. She had thought
what she could do.
If you have never watched a
bird building a nest, you don't
know how cleverly it can work
with its beak and claws-iust as
well as you can with your fingers.
She pulled some horse hairs
from the nest, tied one end to the
legs of each baby wren, and the
other to the nest. Then she flew
off; and each time she came back
with a worm, she found the irdies
right there, as safe as safe could
be.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Two
stories appearing close to one an
other on the front page of a
morning paper surely found apt
juxtaposition. They would do
for the first and last chapters in
the life story of almost any one
of a certain curly-eared, flat-nosed
fraternity. Here is the first
story, waited to Broadway from
the coast:
Wilson Miner, latest manage
for Stanley Ketchell, went WITT
Ketchell to San Francisco to ar
range for Ketehell's projected
fight with Sam Langford. Miner
lived at his home in Frisco, Ket-
chell at the st. Francis hotel.
Four or five days later Miner got
look at Ketchell's hotel bill. 1t
amounted to several hundred dol
lars.
''KetchelI, before he became a
prominent pugilist, never knew
any abode more pretentious
than a two-room bunk house In
Montana. The plain fare of a COW
camp was good enough for him,
and he found tin basin satisfac-
tory for his abIutions.

Editor Tacoma Times:
Congressman McCredie wants
to release the player that will not
do team work. The base. ball
fans of Tacoma should have big
pile of love for McCredie. This
is the man that pulled the Port
land team out of the Northwest
erp league. If there is anything
q ball fan hates it is little two
by-four league. A six-club league
is small enough, but a four-club
league is the limit. Congress-
man McCredie would like to re-
lease all of the good players in
the republican party and make
that organization a little four
club affair. The republican party
has up to this time been full
eight-club league. There was
always room for men with ideas
and brains, but Wednesdays con-
vention goes Oh record as only
favoring four clubs, and those in
the hands of Piles, Jones, Hum
phrey and McCredie. They are
willing to make the republican
party n four-club league and leave
Congressman Poindexter out, Just
as McCredie left Aberdeen out of
the Northwest league.
The smaller the league the
more bonehead players one has in
the clubs. The republican conven-
ton now goes on record for West
ern Washington and says to East
erq Washington that brains do
not count. A man who has brains
enough to go Into the United
States senate regardless of loca-
ton should be kept in the bush"
league. This kind of machine
rule made the Pacific coast once
go outlaw, and 1T came near dis
rupting base ball in the United
States. The republican machine
is busy all over the United
States trying to hold good men
in bush" leagues, and as a re-
suit Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and the Dakotas have
all organized insurgent leagues.
The republican party can make
outlaws If they like of the insur-
gents in Washington, but they
will find the people in Washing
ton like the fans of California, |
that when the outlaws (insur-
gents) play the people will turn
out regardless of organized ma
chimes.

THE CUCKOO

The cuckoo is queer bird. In
stead of building a nest of it's own,
1t lays its eggs in other birds
nests.
This spring Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
Wren built the incest little nest
in an old apple tree, ind in this
dear little nest cuckoo egg was
laid. When the babies Matched,
Mrs. Wren was surprised enough
to find this stranger in her home.
A little cuckoo, even when it is
first Matched, has a broad, strong
back. so strong that it can push
the other little birds out of their
home.
One day, when Mrs. Wren came
home from a worm gathering, she
found the little cuckoo just push
ing ont of her little babies out.
She flew into the nest with a great
flutter, and the birdie was saved.
But poor Mrs. Wren! She slept
little that night. She was trying
to think what she should do the
next day. If she left the nest the
babies would be killed; If she
stayed ehere, they would have
nothing to eat.
Papa Wren had gone to neigh
boring orchard to take part in a
concert and would be gone until
the next day, so she had no one to
help her. What was she to do?
In the morning the little birds
all began to cry loudly for worms

fashions

Light colored serge is used to
cover frames for early fall hats.
One of the most notable fea-
lures of high grade fall millinery
is the under-brim facing of a
color contrasting with the rest of
the hat. The shapes, as a rule,
are dark, while the facings are
light or brilliantly colored.
Ties with wide pleated ends
Tapped Ascot fashion are much
worn with tailored waists.
White hose are worn more this
season than for many years.
The fad for belts and girdles
of red patent leather shows no
signs of abatement.
