WASHINGTON TEACHERS
More Come From Wisconsin Than
From any Other State

Olympia, Wash, Aug 19.-An in
teresting statistical article showing
the sources of education of the teach
ers of this state has been prepared
at the office of Henry b. Dewey, state
superintendent of public instruction.
A peculiar feature of the report is
the showing that 1876 of the teachers
of this state secured their instruction
in pedagogy in Wisconsin, as against
328 home-product teachers of Wash
ington, 236 from Iowa, 334 from
Michigan, 27S from Minnesota and
Ia from New York.
Teachers in this state, according to
the report, received their education
in SO states of the Union and two Ca
madam provinces. The report says:
The legislature of 1903 provided as
one of the duties of the state board
Of education that it should provide
a list % of colleges and universities
in other state whose requirements,
equipment and graduation require
ments were substantially equal to
the university of Washington; GU Of
normal schools graduation from
which represented work fairly paral-
lei TO that given in the advanced
state; CD of papers authorizing the
holders to teach and issued in other
states, the requirement to obtain
which were substantially the same
as those required to obtain life GER
tifieate in this state.
Even prior to 1903 generous rec
ognition was given for work done in
the leading educational Institutions
of the country, but no definite list
of such institutions was prepared.
The examination made by the state
board of education of an institution
applying to be put on the accredited
list is exceedingly thorough and fire.
quently requires several months
time. Among the questions investi-
gated by the state board of educa-
ton before accrediting an institu-
ton were these: When was the in
stitution established? Value Of build
ings, furniture and fixtures, number
of volumes in the library, extent Of
laboratory apparatus, amount of per-
manent endowment, amount of in
come from tuition, the salaries of va
rious professors and instructors, the
number OF instructors compared with
the number of students, the number
of hours per week that the head of
the department is required to teach,
that the instructors are required to
teach, the total enrolment in all
grades and many similar questions
regarding the organization, equip
ment and administration of the in
stitution.
More than 200 institutions have
been accredited by the state board Of
education during the past eight years,
giving Washington the largest ac-
credited list of any Western state,
and so far as definite information is
obtainable the largest of any state
in the Union. AS a result Of the wide
open door policy of recognition OF
adequate preparation, no matter

bulletins on Growing Field Peas

The State Agricultural Experiment
Station at Pullman has been expert
menung for several years to deter
mine the value of field peas as hay
crop or for green manuring, and TO
ascertain the best varieties to grow
and the best methods of cultivation.
Two bulletins, giving the results Of
these experiments, have just been
printed and are now ready for dis
tribution. General Bulletin No. SO,
entitled, Field Pea Production In
Washington" is a report Of the Co
operative experiments with the Blu
reau OF Plant Industry Of the U 3.
Department of Agriculture, In test
ing varieties, rates of seeding, meth
DDS of harvesting, etc. Popular But
letin No. SO, on Field Peas on
Palouse Wheat Farm" is an account
of the invest cations of methods OF
seeding, cultivation and use OF peas
as a rotation crop in conjunction with
wheat growing. The experiments
show that. wherever the average an
nual rainfall is 16 inches or more.
field peas are very profitable crop
to grow, either for hay or for grain.
The methods and varieties which have
been found to be the best adapted
to Washington conditions are der
scribed in detail In the bulletins.
Copies Of these bulletins may De

With the above facts confront
ing us, and without political pre-
JUDGE, we cannot help but think
and believe that the Republican
press of our state had better
drop their imaginary splits and
soreness among the Democrats,
by reason of John T. McGraw's
defeat for United States Senator.
and spend some time in studying
the condition brought about by
the wilful refusal of the Is Re-
publican Senators of this state
to discharge the duties of the
office to which the people have
elected them. They may be able
to estop and hinder legislation at
the present term. but the honest
and well meaning voter will hold
them and their party responsible.
and the result will be at our cleo
ton two years hence this State
will go so overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic, that Republicans will cut
no figure in our next Legislature.
And we again predict that the
Republican press of our state is
losing lots of valuable time in
commenting on Democratic dis
satisfaction which is all magma
ry. you will find Jno T. McGraw,
