splendid opportunity your city has to

CHARLES R. DONOVAN
LEAVES CITY SERVICE
Many People Under a Mistaken
Impression as to What First
National Bank Has Done

CITY Treasurer Charles r. Donovan
on Saturday completed ten years OF
service for the city of North Yaki-
ma, ending his term as city offlcer
on the tenth anniversary of the time
he first took up his duties. Many
people remarked to The Herald Satur-
day on the efficiency and geniality
of Mr.. Donovan and expressed high
appreciation Of the services ne has
rendered and the manner in which he
rendered them.
In connection with the work of Mr..
Donovan, who is assistant cashier in
the First National bank, this is an
opportune time to correct mistaken
impression held by many with refer
ence to the attitude of the First Ma.
tional towards the work done by Mr.
Donovan. Some people, apparently
have heard a report which some one
has circulated, to the effect that the
bank charged the city for office rent
|ligt, telephone rent and other monies
for the use Mr.. Donovan made of it'
property during his term Of office
There is, of course. no truth in any
such report. Not only did the FRS

and through him the city, the frees

facilities for business, but it assisted
In the transaction of that busir ess
As an indication Of this little bi
of recent history may be cited. A
$4,000 North Yakima bond issue wa!
due in New York November 2 and thu
city was not prepared to handle I
and would have defaulted. Under
the circumstances Mr.. Steinweg, pres
ident of the bank, rendered to tbs
commissioners the services Of his in.
stitution and on the very last day
acting on their desire, asked his bank
in New York to take UP the bonds
and charge to the First National bank
account, which was done. This saved
this city from defaulting and main
tanned it's credit to that extent. The
benefit is one which any financier will
recognize.
The First National has had the city
funds to deposit in return for its at
titude but after all is said and done
that has not been an unmitigated benz
eft to the institution.

LAWYER TELLS HOW
HE WORKED HIS LAND
Harold L. Hull Made Nice Returns
In First Year of His Opera
tons on Sage Brush Soil

Harold l.. Hull, lawyer and ranch
er. presents facts with reference to
his work the past season on raw land
in the Tieton. which prove the ease
with which an orchard can be brought
to development by a careful worker.
Mr.. Hull makes no pretensions to-
wards the title OF an expert in the
handling of land and says, In fact.
that this season on his Tieton tract
was something of a picnic. His work,
he says, was not hard. He was less
than two hours drive from the tim
Der and he frequently felt the call, SO
that at times he was out with his
family and friends under the trees. by
the side of cool mountain stream.
enjoying life instead of hard at work
at home, according to tradition.
Speaking of his ten-acre tract and
says:
How He Handled Land
Last year l had the northeast
quarter of the southwest quarter of
the northeast quarter of section 10,
township IA, north, range 16 N. w.
NJ, cleared of sagebrush and plowed
up after which the tract was set to
apple trees, thirty feet apart each way
with q filler in the center of each
square.
"This tract had clean cultivation
for that year. 1t was then plowed
among the trees and about the mid
die of the month of May planted to
Burbank potatoes. with four rows be-
tween each two rows of trees.
Got IL Good Crop
IL irrigated the ground before
planting and three times thereafter
and cultivated after each irrigation
and in the fall l took from the ten
acres one thousand fifty sacks of mar
ketable potatoes and had about two
hundred sacks of seed potatoes placed
in pits.
This gave me little over hfty-two
tons of marketable potatoes, which l
sold in North Yakima for sl7.40 per
ton. The expense OF putting the pota-
toes on the North Yakima market
to about $3.50. leaving me
net returns from the tract of a little
over 800.
The land had never been fortified
in any manner and the trees have
made a remarkable growth; in fact
equal to that usually made OH land
previously cultivated To alralfa"

STAFF MANAGEMENT
IN THE CITY SCHOOLS
Believes Principals Should Not
Have to Give Time to Sign
ing Excuse Cards

A significant point touched upon by
DR.. Charles f. Rugh of the University
of California in one Of his talks here
before the Washington Educational
association, in explanation of why, as
he claims, the high schools of the
country are only 90 per cent efficient,
was the waste Of time. To get the
best results, he said teacher must
be teaching all the time of the school
periods allotted to her and princi-
pal must be Participating" all the
time. In the case of the teachers. he
criticised them in that they were in
clined to take up too much time In
such matters as rollcall and the col
lection of papers. With the princi-
pals, he said, too much time was TAX
en- up with signing excuse cards and
other merely clerical duties.
More Than Clerk
DR.. Rugh expressed the belief that
high school principal, to give the
best results, should be relieved from
the recordkeeping, bookkeeping. jan
itor service. trivial and mechanical
duties which generally require so
much of his attention. In zone Cali
fornia school of which he knew Dr..
Rugh said that the principal spent
so per cent of his time, interviewing
pupils as to why they were to pc ex-
cused from classes and signing ex-
cuse cards. 1t is the sort of work.
he said, which moderate-priced
clerk could do; that no school board
with a proper idea OF economic man
agement, would think of allowing Its
high school principal, a specialist and
a high priced man, to use up the time
for which it paid him In sucn trivial
and purposeless ways. 1t would be
like requiring te division superintend-
ent of a railroad to run out and turn
the switch for a freight train.
For Bigger Things
The principal, he thinks. should
have full strength of his capacities to
turn TO the bigger problems of school
management, such as bringing about
that cooperation among the teacn-
ers which gives staff management to
school. No institution Of any sort
succeeds under line management, yet
right there, according TO the Cali
fornia man, IL one OF the primary
causes OF inefficiency In the high
schools. Each teacher teaches her
own subject and nothing else. Each
teacher. perhaps, teaches her subject
as n the whole time Of the student
could be given to that alone 1t is
an almost common failing for each

that her subject is the most import

Opinion Has Weight

A man like DR.. Rugh, who has
reached certain conclusions through
observation, investigation and study,
ought to DO the biggest sort of help
to any community. The questions
that are vexing educators the coun-
try over, he has tackled and wrestled
with and while he does not pretend
tina. his views are necessarily final or
the right ones. at least, he can back
them up by q knowledge of facts and
tendencies with figures and definite
statements, which is more than many
an earnest worker at educational, So
cial or moral problems can do.
