COL. PLACE PRO
NOTING LAND DEAL

After four months of strenuous
dickering with w. p. Davidson, presi-
dent of the Oregon G. Western Coloni-
zation Co. of st. Paul, Mimi, Col. E.
r. Place has closed the deal whereby
he comes into possession of 100000
acres of what is known as the Military
Road land grant extending from On
tario to Burns, Oregon. The COLOMBIA
tion company above mentioned pur-
chased some 100000 acres of the grant
from French syndicate of Paris. The
100000 acres purchased by Col. Place
is the eastern end of this great tract.
The lands will be offered to settlers at
a cost price within the reach of all.
Long time payments will prevail,
thereby giving every purchaser a
chance to dig the purchase price out of
the land. The tract purchased by Col.
Place contains some of the finest agri-
cultural land n Malheur county.
All of it is to be sold to small hold
ers, thereby greatly enhancing the
chances of procuring water where
needed at no distant day. Col. Place
will extensively advertise these lands
through the colonization department of
the Union Pacific Railway company at
Omaha. Headquarters for the sale of
the tract will be at Vale, Oregon.
III. W. Dorman will have charge Of

STORY OF THE
HOUSE NEXT DOOR

The story of the play, "The House
Next Door," is well known and needs
but brief outline. 1t turns upon the
idea of race prejudice, and while
frank in its picturing of this senti-
ment, balances so well the faults and
good qualities of both races as to be
free from iall possible offense. Sir
Isaac jacobson is the son of a Jewish
chair maker, who lived in cottage on
the Cotswold estate. He has prosper
ed while the Cotswold s fortunes have
waned. Thus the estate has passed
from the proud old English aristocrat
into the ownership of the newly rich
Hebrew, and following the wish of
his wife, the latter has come to live
next door to Sir John and be his land
lord. The children of the two families
fall in love with each other, precipi-
tating the clash of prejudice and the
complications that make the story. The
breaking down of the barrier of un-
reasoning bitterness between the two
families and the bridging of the gulf
by the affection of the younger gene
ration is the happy conclusion.
1t is an interesting story, delight
fully clean and human, and the
Characterization OF Sir John must live
among the best conceptions of the
modern drama. 1t is the sort of play
that everybody who enjoys clean cut,
clever acting and legitimate humor
should see. To have missed it is to
have lost an experience that will be
a pleasant memory long after Mr..
Manners has created another role.
"The House Next Door, will be
presented at the Nixon tomorrow
evening. Seats are now on sale at the
theatre box office

University of Wyoming, Sc plus.
This is very interesting for COM
parison. Early in June the regents
desired to know if the president of the
university could not reduce the teach
ing force of the university on the
ground that we had too many teach
ers and too few pupils. The president
said that he would compute the num-
ber of students to teachers in the uni
versity and the university high school
and report at the July meeting. TAX
ing the record of the new catalogue
the president found that there were in
the university professors who devote
their entire time to teaching, IA; as
sistant professors, 2; instructors, 8.
Dividing the number of students in
attendance last year-2l2-by IA
gives us 1917 students to profes-
sor; dividing the number by 16 gives
13A students to each professor and as
sistant professor; dividing by % gives
8 I'll students to each professor, as
sistant professor and instructor. In
the university high school the number
of Observation-Disclosures by the num-
ber of teachers who give their entire
time to the work of teaching-5-
gives Is students to each teacher. The
table published above gives us S.3 plus
students to every teacher. In the uni
versity the present year we have 235
students and have added one member
to our teaching force. Dividing 235
by 23 gives 10.2 students to each pro-
fessor, assistant professor and instruct
or. In the high school this year we
have so students and 5 teachers, which
gives l6 students to each teacher.
These statistics are very interesting
reading to the thoughtful person and
should put a stop to the ignorant fault
finding with respect to the number of
students to he teacher in the Univer-
sity of Nevada.
Very respectfully yours. =

ISIS, Hopkins Friday Night.

When Miss Rose Melville appears
at the Nixon opera house next Friday
evening as "Sis Hopkins that de-
lightfully quaint country girl in the
play of the same name, which has been
before the public for the past twelve
years, it will be the last time that this
clever and entertaining actress will be
seen in this city. When she COM
pletes her present season, Miss Mel
vile will retire from the stage per-
manently, and unless her manager, j.
r. Stirling, can, prior to her retire
ment, secure an actress capable of
portraying the complexities of the
character of "Sis,' the play will not
again be seen on the stage. Miss Mel
vile has built up this queer country
girl character until it has become the
classic of the American stage. lhe
oddity of the type, the exquisite SIM
plicity, the homely philosophy and the
great depth of affection which it
shows, has made it at once one of the
most complex and one of the most
interesting and lovable characters be-
fore the public at the present time.

COMPARES TEACH
ERS TO STUDENTS
University of Nevada, Presidents Of

University of Nevada, Presidents Of
flee, Reno, Nevada, Nov. 13, 1911.
TO the Regents, University of Nevada.
The following article showing the
number of students to teacher in
state colleges and universities was
published in Science on Friday, Octob-
er 27, 1911:
The following tabulations are based
upon figures found in Statistics Of
State Universities and other institu-
tions of higher education partially
supported by the State'' and show the
number of students to a teacher in
eighty one state-supported schools.
The average number of students to
teacher is 10.5 1t is interesting to
note that while no doubt, in general,
the cost of the unit hour of instruction
is smaller in schools having more stu
dents to a teacher, the best schools in
the list tend to have less than 10.5, the
average number of students to teach
er, thus for Cornell University, the
universities of Wisconsin, Illinois,
Michigan, California and the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology the
number of students to teacher is only
9.5 plus.
