MOVING PICTURES EDUCATION

at moving pictures, or minimize their
Importance in the life of the com
munity," writes Walter Prichard
Eaton in The Munsey for January.
AN example of their geographical
value is arorded by a film taken not
long ago at the Panama Canal. That
film shows the sides of the canal as
the train moves along: it shows the
workmen and officers at toll and at
rest; it catches the tropic vegetation:
and. above all, it shows the huge
shovels and derricks and machines
IN actual operation. You see the dirt
ty, you watch the cut grow before
your very eyes; you can see how a
great canal is dug
Similarly, the motion picture of
the Old Faithful geyser spouting. in
the Yellowstone Park, is more accur.
ate and vivid than any word-painting
or still photograph"

GERMANS SWINDLED
OUT OF MUCH BEER

A Munich statistician estimates
that Germans last year were swindled
out Of S12,500,000 worth of beer, all
through getting short measure, and
this it seems, has been going on sys-
tematically for years. No wonder
that the beer drinkers of the Father
land are in a ferment of excitement
about it. The discovery arose out Of
the prosecution in the courts of Mu-
mich, where beer drinkers foregather
at the original fount of big beer
hall proprietor and his staff of wait
ers who were accused of habitually
serving short measure with intent and
malice aforethought: that is, their
liter and half liter stems never con-
tained the quantity fixed by law. The
prosecution alleged that the brewery
which stood behind the beerhall last
year made over $4,000 extra profit
by giving false measure, and the case
resulted in a conviction.

FEW GREAT FORTUNES
ARE LEFT INTACT

Few of the fortunes acquired by the
great financiers and captains of in
dustry acquired during the lat
ter half of the last century are now
intact. The Gould fortune has grown
but is now divided among the chill
dren and the grandchildren of Jay
Gould, and nearly all of the great in
terests he built up have passed from
the control of his descendants The
William H. Vanderbilt fortune of ap-
proximately $20O,O00,OOO has also
suffered the dividing up process
until the name of Vanderbilt is no
longer powerful in the world of "big
business" The Hartman fortune, a
year after the death of the man who
made it, is yet practically intact in
the hands Of his widow, but many mil
lions will be given away and the re-
mainder will go to the children. While
Mr.. Carnegie is not likely to die poor
his heirs will not be overburdened
with wealth. Marshall Fields eighty
millions have been split up among his
heirs. Nearly half of the s65. 900. 900
accumulated by John S. Kennedy went
to charity, and the remainder is now
in many hands. Mrs. Russell Sage
expects to distribute practically all of
the eighty millions left by her hus-
band, and no small part of it has
been dsbursed.

PENDLETON HIGH SCHOOL
Is IN FIRST RANK
(Special Correspondence.l

University of Oregon, Eugene, Ore,
Feb. 25.-Statistics recently compiled
by the university administration on
high schools, show remarka Die
growth in this department of educa-
ton during the past decade. In 1900
there were only six accredited high
schools in the state; of high schools
whose graduates were admitted to
reputable universities without exami-
nations. These were situated in Port
land, Medford, The Dalles, Baker,
Pendleton and Astoria. Now eighty
eight such high schools are in opera
ton, with fully as many more which
do not give a full four years course,
but carry one, two or three years OF
high school work.
This phenomenal growth is more
readily strikingly brought out by not
ing that as late as 1888, only one
school in the state carried a full four
years course, while this year there
will be nearly 1000 graduates from
the various schools.
Pendleton high is classed by the
university among the best in quality
of work done, although in size it is
much smaller than those with which
il ranks.

SAVER OF GAYNOR'S
LIFE Is DISCONSOLATE,

big Bill' Edwards, street clean
ing commissioner and Carnegie hero,
is disconsolate, and even a contem-
plation of the medal handed him by
the hero commission gives no COM
fort. Mr.. Edwards is pining for a
hundred thousand dollars worth of
squeegees, and the city dads won't
come across. A squeegee, it may be
explained, is a contraption fitted with
revolving rubber rolls for massaging
the pavements and forcing the dirt
toward the cutters. The board OF es-
innate and apportionment has sought
to assauge big Bills" grief with a
hundred thousand dollars with which
to buy high pressure water flushers,
but, while they will help some, Mr.
Edwards remains firm in the belief
that a few "squeegees" are absolutely
necessary. For" says big Bill"
pathetically, what is a town with
out a squeegee?" What, indeed.
