If you do the wash in the old-fashioned

the clothes for wearing out so quickly.

NINTH GRADE RETURNED
TO HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

The action of the school board in
re-transferring the ninth grade this
year back to the high school building
where it was originally located, is
based on the conviction that it will
mean greater school efficiency. The
ninth grade should be close to the
high school in work and in location
it is so that its greatest usefulness can
be worked out. The consequent com
binatIon of all the seventh graders
into one room and of all the eighth
graders into one room is felt to be
equally a move for the better and
in accord with the best educational
usage; the practice of one teachers
having two or more grades in her
room, even the rural schools are try
ing to abolish as an IN fortunate situa-
ton and unproductive of the best re-
suits. The changes made appeal to
the board in every way as making for
greater school efficiency good sense
and judgment demand that action be
measured on this basis and be given
the fair trial it deserves.
Considerations of sentiment and
convenience should have little weight
as compared with the argument Of the
greatest good for the school. There
are very few if any Lancaster Oh ildren
to whom the added distance will be
any real hardship; it will be far
short Of the two miles established by
law as a reasonable distance for the
country child to travel to reach
school. There are here moreover,
good walks which lessen any difficulty
OF distance. A few less dollhouse
principles in education and a few
more stringent exactions would make
better schools and better children.

A QUESTION OF E C

Secretary of the Interior Fisher has
passed finally upon what are known
as the Cunningham claims in Alaska.
These claims. several HUNDRED in
number, we're the chief occasion of
the nproar raised by Clifford Pinchot
while MIR. Ballinger was at the head
OF the Interior Department. Nothing
ever has been developed showing that
the Taft administration was ever
party to any plan or conspiracy for
placing the Cunningham syndicate,
or any other syndicate, in possession
of valuable public lands or privileges
in Alaska. in opposition to public
right. From the first it was to be
seen that Mr.. Pinchot was Jumping at
conclusions. HIS dismissal by the
president was we'll justified by his
conduct. The motive of that conduct
is palmer now in view Of the third
term candidacy of MIR. Pinchot's
particular friend. What it was i'm
possible to understand at the time his
charges were first brought. on such
fimsy ground as he brought them, it
is easy to understand nov. Mr..
PinchOt was playing politics.
This is the second time that these
cases have been decided adversely 10
the claimants. Originally they were
decided in that way by Commissioner
bennett. An appeal was taken from
that decision by the claimants, but
supporting the plea Of the claimants
for what they called their rights in
the. case we're a large number of the
citizens, and many of the large bust
ness interest Of Alaska, insisting that.
for the proper and rapid development
of the resources of that territory, the
recognition of these claims was neces-
sary. 1t is q fact that, neither in
Alaska or in any other part of our
domain, where the Pinchot policy of
conservation has been enforced on a
large scale, is it at all popular. In
all probability there will be wide
disappointment in Alaska at the re-
lection of the Cunningham claims.
But Secretary Fisher has found it
necessary. from considerations of
general public policy which touch not
