new FEATURES FOR SCHOOLS
Oakland, Cal, Makes Report Which
Pleases Federal Educators.
WHOLE COMMUNITY BENEFITS
CALIFORNIA; City VIII spend Two MIL
lion Dollars This Year for New
Haildipgs fer Promotion
of Education.

WASHINGTON, Jan. so.-0fficials Of
the United States Bureau Of Education
today expressed their qualification over
two phases Of report received from
California that Oakland was preparing to
spend 100000 this year for new school
buildings.
The fact that Oakland's new schools
will provide, on a broader scale than any
where else at present, opportunities for
and otherwise. was one of the things that
commended itself to the federal educators.
The schools are to have assembly halls,
out and indoor gymnasiums. open air
school rooms, music halls, manual train
ing and domestic science quarters, spe-
clal rooms for health officers and nurses,
lunch and bath rooms and every hygienic
equipment possible.
The other phase OF oakland's broad
educational outlook pleasing TO the bureau
Of education officials was that part of
the committee to take charge Of the
construction was chosen from the nation
at large, because of fitness to give ,ex-
pert advice on questions relating to school
planning.
This shows the growing tendency"
said James c. Boykin, the bureaus ex-
pert on matters of school legislation, ito
take education out of the narrow, local
rut in which 1t has been running so
Icing. States and cities are beginning to
go outside OF their bounds so they may
have the best men they can procure to
administer to their schools. The false
local pride that a state school super
intendent must be native Of or resi-
dent in the state is fast dying out"

will determine whether former Governor
Folk or Speaker Clark shall have the
Missouri Endorsement for president. can

The election commissioners denied the
request of the city committee for the use
OF the ballot boxes end duplicate copies
Of the poll and primary election books.
The board. however. agreed TO furnish
printed lists Of the voters registered for
a recent bond election and old ballot
boxes, but refused TO assume jurisdiction
over the primary. Without the boards
jurisdiction there will be no way to pun
ish fraud or determine who is entitled

nclius Roach. His reasons for re.
fuSng to approve and proclaim
this attempted gerrymander have
been recently sustained by the
unanimous decision OF our Su-
preme Court, in the following Lam
guage:
"The analysis OF the facts ofdhe
case was most conclusive evil
dence that in apportioning the
State into d~istricts, they wholly
disregarded the consti.u ional man
dates as to c~ompactness of terri
tory, quality and population. We
are therefore OF the opinion that
the actual apportionment Is un-
constitutional, null and void"
In making this courageous stand
for the rights of the people has
put a check for all times on all
attempts to disfranchise a part
OF the voters OF our State by such
partisan and illegal methods. In
fact, 30 well has Governor Hadley
served and wrought that this adj
.inistration has become not only
pride Of every Republican, but
Of every other fair4minded citi-
zen who believes in honest, pro-
yressive government In the cause
