Consolidate School Districts

According to figures compiled by
State Superintendent H. B. Dewey, the
number OF one room school districts in
the various counties range from 40 to
lbs in Whitman and Stevens counties
down to 8 in Island and 20 in Asotin
counties and throughout the entire state
in these one-room school districts one
sixth OF the school children occupy
three-fourths of the number of school
buildings in Washington. In Chelan
county $50 pupils attend schools in 40
one-room school houses or there are an
average of only about 16 pupils to each
school district. The number Of pupils
in the 1st grade in these districts num-
Der 1872, those in the second grade
number IS, there are n in the third
grade, 76 in the fourth grade, 103 in
the fifth, 50 in the sixth, rs in the
seventh and IS in the eighth grades.
In a measure the one room school dis
tricts are being eliminated by the build
ing of larger school houses and the
consolidation of districts, but they are
still very numerous, there being 1926
such districts throughout the various
counties OF the state, and Superinten-
dent Dewey believes that in order to
increase the efficiency of the schools
and give the students a better educa-
ton that there should be still more
consolidation of school districts in
Washington.

EdeIweiss on Mount Rainier

Professor Edmond S. Meany, Wash
ington's famous historian, has received
from Anton Lang, the actor, a packet
of edelweiss seeds, which will be
planted by members OF the Mountain
GERS Club next summer on Mount
Rainier. This beautiful plant, which
thrives at greater height than any
other flower, is familiar to those who
have climbed the Alps, and an earnest
effort will be made to see at what alti-
tude, if at all, it may be grown on
Rainier. Anton Lang is the man who
took the principal part in the Passion
Play at Oberammergau in 1910.

Albert Johnson, Of Hoquiam, can
didate for congressman-at-large, points
out that the second choice proposition
has tangled the situation. Two con-
gressman-at-large are to be elected.
That means of the eight candidates
now running, four will be selected at
the primaries to go on the final ballot.
Now, with the present election ma
chinery, the voter may designate
Johnson as his first choice for one
place and second choice for the sec
ond place to be filled. In that event,
he would have both first and second
choice vote to his credit. The ques-
ton raised is whether such ballot will
be thrown out, as under ordinary cir
cumstances. This matter will have to
be passed on by the attorney general
before the primaries.

A report of four months operations
OF the Workmen's Compensation Law,
recently issued by the State Industrial
Insurance Commission, makes fnan-
cial showing that is not entirely fair to
the public. OF total Of S428,057.42
paid into the various accident funds by
employers of the state, the report
shows that only $57, 329.08 has been
paid out for claims. The report
makes no mention Of the heavy obi
cations against the insurance fund,
which have been allowed but which
are being paid in small monthly in
stallments. The allowance for acct
dental death is 81 900, but this is paid
to beneficiaries at the rate Of $40 or
$50 month. Under the Commits
sion's system of bookkeeping the total
of claims allowed, which exceed $780,
900, are not deducted from the bal
ance on hand, the only charges being
the total of small monthly payments
5000 to $500 month. In this way
the Commission makes a good showing
of the balance of cash in hand, but
this balance would he greatly reduced
if fair showing were made Of the
Commissions obligations.
