SCHOOL NOTES

This week the date of the high school
chorus practice was changed. Hereto
fore, twenty minutes each day has been
devoted to rehearsals, but now the
chorus meets from 9 o'clock to 9:45 on
Wednesdays and Fridays. This method
condenses the work and makes it pos
sible to get more and better practicing
done than when the time was cut up so.
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays
the other classes meet for forty-five
minute periods as usual. The chorus
is working hard on the commencement
music, which is taken from oratorios
and art songs. The boys and girls
choruses are also preparing selections
for baccalaureate and commencement.
The voice culture exercises are improv-
ing the tone of the whole chorus.
The hot-beds in the school garden are
in the process of construction. The
agriculture boys had their pictures
taken while at work Tuesday.
The first class of the domestic science
department is making bread this week.
The teachers reported a profitable
vacation for visiting the last two days
of last week. Of the high school fac
ulty, Mr.. Groom went to Hermiston.
Ore; Miss Bragdon and Miss Smith, to
Prosser; Miss Nelson and Miss Shier, to
Pasco; Mr.. Meikle, to Pullman; Mr..
Romig, to Walla Walla. Mr.. Lewis
and practically all the grade teachers
visited the Pasco public schools.
The pictures which were purchased
at the time the Turner Art Exhibit was
here, Dec. 10, have arrived, and the
manual training boys are making the
frames for them.
Only two more months! The pupils
are almost counting the hours till they
will be free once more.
The report cards this month are about
as usual, some grades higher and some
lower than last month.

upon such things in general. We didn'
mean to belittle anyone. It's rather
an expressive description, however,
! and would fit some of the affairs.

"One leader like woodrow Will

W. P. GLEASON.

II all of the masters OF steel in the
world left it and only the 146
diners, who gathered in the Gary
Commercial Club on Saturday night
were left, they would be the founda-
ton for preserving its steel secrets
and starting out new.
These diners represented the
young Inen-their average age is 33
who are the superintendent and
assistant department heads of the
brains and controllers of the 5000
men who make steel in the big
plant.
The most notable figure of them
all was William P. Gleason. the gen
eral superintendent He has the
unusual distinction of first forming
a big construction organization that
was composed of 1000 men and then
when the mills were finished, of get.
ting together an operating organiza
ton of 5000 steel workers. Thi:
has been a great feat. When Mr.
Gleason came to Gary in 1906 +
was a wilderness of sand dunes; hi
first office was a shack; and his frs
subordinates were a handful of sane
shoyelers. So, in the meantime h
has built the greatest steel works il
the world and has been entruste,
with, the supervision of spendin,
$100,00o.0o0 for construction an,
$12,00o.00o year for wages
The head of the Gary steel work
has double-barreled honors as con
structor and an operator and he ha
carried on his work in very mod
est manner. He is really one of TIL
big men of the county and state.

FRUITS OF DEMOCRACY.

Some Of the inevitable fruits of
democracy are easily discernible in
the industrial reports from some sec
tions of the country, especially in the
far West At Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, ways and means are being
discussed to provide public employ
ment for 5000 men and women said
to be out of work. A resolution was
to be offered at a public meeting
called fr today to discuss the situa-
ton, that the city. of Los Angeles
appropriate s1.O00,000 for public
work to the end that the deplorable
conditions be relieved. At the same
meeting a demand was to be made
upon Gov. Johnson to provide state
employment for the destitute ones.
| Similar conditions prevail in Ore
gon. At Salem yesterday the state
emergency board convened by Gov
ernor West TO provide fund to be
used in employing the unemployed
on state roads, turned down the
proposition, not because such fund
is unnecessary, but because the pow
er to make such appropriation lies
with the Legislature rather than
with a board of its creation.
| In our own state at Gary, the re-
suit of tariff tinkering and Other
Legislation by the Wilson udminis
tration at Washington is clearly
tseen That magic industrial center
sounds a nearly alarm of what ma!
be expected drought the winter ant

Yesterday the plant of the American
ISheet and Tinplate Company, located
there closed down and 200 men ar,
thus out of work. Other industrie
iup there are reported to be plannin,
to reduce their time schedule, which
eventually means a reduction OF tn
working force, with the inevitabl
reduction in the amount of wage
paid. We all know what that mean
to the employees The walls of dis
tress now heard from the West ar
likely to be echoed close at home. /

nothing that can be said or done wi

undo what mas wrought the mischie
nor to stay its hand from applyin
