Albert z. White of Milton and
George Tonkn Of Pilot Rock have
been appointed as supervisors Of the
rural schools of Umatilla county in
Conformance with the new school law
passed at the recent session Of the
legislature. These men were select
ed out Of a large number of appli-
cants at the recent meeting of the
new county educational board. Both
Of the appointees are young men but
both are men Of experience and abil-
ity and the board members believe
they will prove entirely satisfactory.
In speaking Of the new law mem
Der Of the board said;
1T was the unanimous opinion of
the board that the maximum number
OF supervisors should not be employ
ed at first. BY beginning with a
small number of supervisors. the eX-
pense would be less and at the same
time the plan of rural supervision
could be given a fair test. The board
divided the county into three super
yistory districts. While the county
superintendent will still have general
supervision over all of the schools in
the county, his supervisory district
will include all Of the towns and most
of the larger country districts of the
county There will he about eighty
teachers employed in his district. and
it will require about SCI miles of trav-
cling for him to visit all of the schools
in his district at once
THE northern supervisory district
extends from about eight miles
southeast of Walla Walla to five
miles west of Holdman, and from the
state line almost to Pendleton. This
district contains about forty schools,
only one of which employs more than
one teacher, this district being sit
uated in the mountains east of Wes-
ton. 1t will require approximately
377 miles of travelling to visit each
of the schools Gin this district ,Once.
"The southern supervisory district
extends from few miles north of
from Cabbage Hill on the east TO
Lower Birch creek on the west This
district contains about thirty-five
schools, and the supervisor must
travel approximately $40 miles to
visit each one of the schools once. By
visiting a half day at each school, the
rural supervisors can visit all of their
schools in about twenty days. How
ever, after becoming acquainted with
all of the schools, it is not likely that
they will be visited in regular rotation
as some of the schools assistance,
while others will need more help and
must be visited more frequently

to the work of the plans for the con-
structive government he hopes to es-
tablish. In an exclusive interview he
stated that he must improve the
schools first. DR. Gomez will be as
signed this duty. Madero said he
would not make a campaign for the
presidency. American and foreign
capital will always be welcomed. He
fayors universal suffrage. The revo-
luton cost him 100000 and not a
single cent of American money was
represented in this sum. The au-

TO STUDY FLYING IN AMERICA.

A representative from the Japanese
Imperial Navy Yard will arrive in
America soon to study the art of aerial
navigation. Sweden also will send a
military attache, and a number OF
smaller countries will be represented
by officials IN American schools OF
aeroplaning.
While all army and navy expert
ments will not be open to these schol-
ars from foreign lands, they will be
given the benefit of American skill in
experiments.
For the last few years America has
maintained supremacy among na-
tions in the conquest of the air. Her
aeroplanes have risen TO greater
heights, have covered greater dist
ances, have become at home on the
water, more than those of any nation.
The eAmerican-designed aeroplanes are
the most accepted of any in the world.
They have been copied and reproduc-
ed by every country interested in
aeronautics. America is the supreme
conqueror of the air.

DISTRIBUTION OF PAUPERS.

1t is interesting to note the numDe
of paupers in the poor-houses of tn;
different states of the Union and now
this number is affected by the climate
the age of the community, and the
character of the inhabitants.
If you would draw line horseshoe

the United States north, swing across
the northern states and back down the
states near the Pacific Ocean to the
southeastern corner of the country.

FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE.

Unlimited arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain is be,
ing considered. If this is finally adopt.
ed it will be regarded by the peace ad
vocates as the greatest victory of their
movement.
On small matters England and the
United States have long had arbitra-
ton treaties. However, if their differ
ences were to extend to questions of
national honor, it is probable that ar
bitration would be effectual. The new
treaty purposes covering everything
and would compel the two nations TO
abide by the decision of the court oi
arbitration in all cases. If this WORK
ed successfully between the United
States and England it is probable that
other nations would follow their lead.

posed by Secretary of State Knox To
the British Ambassador. 1t will have
to be ratified in detail by the two gov
ernments, but as it is for universal ar
bitration it probably will be accepted
or rejected without much debate.
America and England have greater
and more diversified interests than
any other nations of the world. Their
people are Of the same race and have
conflicting interests in many quarters
of the globe. If these two great ma.
tions can trust the fairness and ability
of an arbitration conference, so can
the nations with fewer and smaller
controversies.

AMERICAN HERO WORSHIP.

There is 10 surer way of becoming
President of the United States than by
attaining military distinction. While
not all of our Presidents have served
in the army many owe their election
to the great American instinct of hero
worship.
The hero Of the school ground is the
boy that can whip all the other boys.
E,en in college the greatest idol is

General George Washington was
