Seattle University
Students In Trouble

The power yacht; Tazlina. of Sc
attic. and six DIVERSITY students, all
well known on the campus have run
afoul OF customs laws and Robert
M oran says the Sunday P. l.
"Ihe trouble grew out of a weeks
pleasure cruise, an over-developed
idea Of college cuteness and the de
termination of Robert Moran. who
is monarch Of about half of Orcas
island, to keep what is his own.
'The Tazlina set out from Seattle
with six students aboard, among
them Ralph Casey, Clarence Bryant
Fred Sparger and Don Fullen, all
Seattle boys.
"The party visited the San Juan
islands, then slipped across the blue
rollers Of the Gulf uf Georgia to the
Canadian shore. During their stop
in King Georges dominions they
lost the small boat used as tender
to the 1azlina.
Returning to the San Juan ISL
ands the party conceived the clever
idea of taking one of Robert Mo-
rams small boats for a tender.
"The retired shipbuilder tele-
graphed at once to the customs
authorities at Port townsend noti-
flying them to look out for the stol-
en- boat. The Tazlina was sighted
not long afterward and laid aboard
by blue-coated officers of the law.
"1he students admitted taking
Mr.. Moran's boat. said it was all in
fun and promised to return it.
"But about this time more squalls
loome1 on the horizon. The Gus
toms men, hearing the Tazlina has
been across the boundary, examined
the yachts license and found it is
only for coastYise travel. They
seized the craft Tor violation of the
customs laws.
"After the department of coru.
merce and labor has passed on the
case disposition will be made of the
boat
The boys were permitted to come
to Friday Harbor on Monday
morning and were put under arrest
by Sheriff Boyce. Mr.. Robert Mo-
ran also arrived, secured possession
of his boat, and made complaint
against the culprits.
They were brought before Judge
Joiner Tuesday afternoon, pleaded
guilty to petit larceny and were fined
$25 and costs. In passing sentence
the court gave the boys severe
lecture on the property rights OF
others.

The islander would like to have
a nice little budget of news. person

Cost Of Small Schools

There are 1866 schools in the
state having less than 20 pupils, 80
districts with but 2 pupils and six
schools in which only one pupil is
enrolled. are some Of the most strik-
ing facts brought out in a bulletin
on Consolidation Of Rural Schools
and transportation of Pupils, just
published by the department of
education. This is a profusely
illustrated pamphlet and has been
prepared by ]. M. Layhue, assistant
state superintendent. Mr.. Layhue
has made a careful and exhaustive
study of consolidation in this and
other states, the results of which he
has compiled and tabulated in this
booklet. The material is accurate
much of it CLEANED from personal
|investig alton and inspection.
The work shows that in schools
having an average daily attendance
of less than five pupils, the total
annual cost of educating each child
is $143 "a.
The heaviest per capita expense
is found in the small school. By an
examination Of Table 6, it may be
seen that in 38 schools in this state
last year the average annual expense,
based on the average daily atten-
dance was more than 5000 per pupil.
This expense did not include any
permanent improvements but was
simply for the running expenses of
the school,"

Bulletins On Growing field Peas

The State Agricultural Expert
mental Station at Pullman has been
experimenting for several years to
determine the value of field peas as
a hay crop or for green manuring,
and to ascertain the best varieties to
grow and the best method of culti-
walton. Two bulletins, giving the
results of these experiments, have
just been printed and are now ready
for distribution. General Bulletin
No. SO, entitled "Field Pea Produc-
tion in Washington is report of
the cooperative experiments with
the Bureau Of Plant Industry IF the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
in testing varieties. rates of seeding
methods of harvesting etc. Popular
Bulletin No. SO, on "Field Peas on
a Palouse Wheat Farm" is an ac-
count of the Investigations of the
methods of seeding. cultivation and
use Of peas as a rotation crop in
conjunction with wheat growing.
The experiments show that, where
ever the average annual rainfall is
16 inches or more, field peas are q
very profitable crop to grow either
for hay or for grain. The method
and varieties which have been found
to be the best adapted to Washing
ton conditions are described in de
tail in the bulletins.
Copies of these bulletins may be
obtained free of charge by writing
to the Director of the Experiment
Station Pullman. Washington.

starter Uncle Sam is going erect and
equip what may be designated as a model post
office and which will be used as pattern for
all the post offices to be provided henceforth
throughout the country This model post office
will be located at the national capital and 1t is
designed to be model not only in its mail
handling equipment, but also in the furniture,
the arrangement of the various rooms and
in the architecture of the building itself and the
selection of site located with reference to
the railroad terminals that it will facilitate the
handling of the incoming and outgoing mails.
This last is a point to which the average citizen
seldom gives thought and yet 1t means that
If his post office is located too far from the rail-
road stations through which the mails dis
patched there will be unnecessary lengthening
of the time required to convey letter between
any two points.
So anxious has been the postmaster general to
have the scheme for better post offices worked
out Just right that he some time ago appointed
special committee composed of men high in the
postal service to prepare the plans for a model
post office. This body of experts has been busy
for months past perfecting every detail The
committee includes the first assistant postmaster
general. the superintendent of mails at Chicago
(Which city already has pretty well-equipped
post ofhce). the superintendent of delivery at
New York. representative OF the architects the
postmaster at Washington, D. c., and the assist
ant superintendent in charge of the handling OF
the foreign mails going out from the port OF

The distinctive feature of the model post office
which most conspicuously will mark its super
iority to the best of the old-time Offices will
be found in the extensive employment of mechan-
ical and automatic carriers and conveyors OF
different types for moving the letters and parcels
from point to point in their transit through the
post office. Indeed complete will be this force
of mechanical workers that 1t will be scarce

for one of the betterments that has been attained
in the scheme of this twentieth century post
office is the throwing out of safeguards for the
mail In transit safeguards designed merely
to protect the letters from the operations of dis.
honest employees but also to guard against loss
of even the smallest pieces of mail through care
lessness or haste in handling.
The mail conveyors and dis'ributors which
to reach the acme Of perfection in the new post
office have been developed rapidly during the
past few years In general way these devices
resemble in principle the cash carriers or over

many stores. But instead of converging at a
