The above subject used by Lizzie Lee
Coley cannot be improved on so l will
use it. Her article of June Gath puts
the problem of final examinations in
the right manner.
I don't believe that any teacher ever
considered the final examinations a
true test of their pupils scholarship.
I have been a teacher and ofttimeS
found those whom I considered my
best pupils made the poorest average
in examination.
The disappointments of childhood
loom up like mountains and children
who take an interest in their studies
begin worrying sometime ahead of ex-
aminations until they are almost in a
stage of nervous breakdown at the
very time they need all their strength.
The disgrace" of failing in examina-
ton to them is the worst thing that
happens in childhood I believe many
children who would not tell a story
under any other circumstances would
cheat in examination rather than carry
what they consider a disgrace in not
passing from one grade to another.
In some public schools they have
monthly reviews and from these re
views the average is taken instead of
having final examinations.
Gram it in, jam 1t in children's heads
are hollow
Ram 1t in, slam 1t in, still there's more

Slap in the Face.
The whole business was a, remed-
itated slap in the face for the south.
and the result is that the states Dor
dering on the gulf of Mexico are left
entirely unprotected, whilst the Allan
tic coast has no less than six navy
yards, including Charleston, Norfolk,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston and
Portsmouth.
Such an action, at such time, when
the existing government was lettering
10 its fall, can neither be misunder
stood nor permitted to succeed. Just
s the gulf of Mexico is about to
come into prominence, and it's chief
ports, Pensacola, Mobile and New Or
leans are on the point of coming into
their own; away comes an individual
invested with brief authority, who, on
the plea of economy slams the door
in their faces.
It is fortunate that the new secre-
tary, Mr.. Daniels, is giving evidence
that he is alive to the criminality Of
such conduct which is nothing but an
attempt to damage business prospects
in the gulf and Pull the strings to
benefit the Atlantic ports.
AS Daniels is already interested,
kind of Hffnrt chnITi7 he made q
once to induce him to reopen the
navy yards both a Pensacola and New
Orleans, as a righteous act Of restitu-
ton and as a necessary act of pro-
lection for long suffering south.

The closing of the navy yards at
Pensacola and New Orleans by the late
secretary of the navy, Meyer, was an
act which calls for and deserves the
severest Censure, and should on no
account be permitted to pass as a mis-
take or error of judgment.
With his term Of office drawing near
it's close. and with the air full of in
dica tons of a complete change of adj
ministration, this act can only be
haracterized as a piece of impudence;

OF INTEREST TO SUBSCRIBERS

The Supreme Court of the United
States has just published a ruling in
regard to newspaper subscriptions
which in substance makes a subserib-
err who takes his paper from the post
office and refuses to pay subscription,
guilty of felony and liable to arrest
as any other who defrauds.
The following is a synopsis of the
decision OF our final court:
l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scription.
2. Subscribers ordering the discon-
~tinuance of their periodical, the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodical from the post
Office they are responsible until they
hettIe their bill and order their paper
discontinued.
4. IL SuDScrlDerS move " othSi
places without informing the publisher
and papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
5. Refusing periodicals from the
postofice or moving and leaving them
uncalled for is prima faeie evidence
of intention to defraud.
6. If subscribers pay IN advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not want
to continue taking, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send, and the
subscriber will be responsible until
an express notice with payment is
sent to the publisher.

NEVADA GREATEST BATTLESHIP
AFAOAT

Broadly stated, the guiding princi-
pie in the design of a battleship is to
obtain the maximum amount of fight
ing power upon a given displacement.
Displacement, that is to say, the total
weight Oh the ship and her equipment
when she is ~afloat, is the capital which
the architect has drawn upon in get
ting out the plans for his ship. Thus,
in the case of let US say the Nevada, a
ship OF 1880 tons displacement is de-
voted to the Lull, so much to the
motive power, so much to the arma-
ment, so much to tn stores and mis-
eellaneous equipment. As the result
of the apportionment of weights to
these different requirements, we have

.RADIUM TO BE PRO
DUCED IN UNITED STATES

The manufacture of radium is to be
undertaken in America for the first
time in it's history. Alfred | du Pont
is investing millions of dollars in Colo
RADIO mines containing pitehblende and
in extensive apparatus for the extract
ing of radium from pitehblende. His
purpose is asserted to be a purely
philanthrophic one and, if true, it is
indeed c~ommendable. Radium is wide
" recognized as a cure for cancer. Mr..
du Pont, when a quantity of radium
has been procured, intends to build a
radium laboratory where experiments
may be made and a hospital instituted
for the use of the public.
Besides being the first radium manu-
featured in America, Mr.. du Pont' s in
s~titution will be the first in this coun-
TRIP to offer free treatment with ra-
dunn. In England, France and Ger
many public institutions of this ma
ture were recently established, some
of them philanthropic and others sub
sidized by the government.
The pitchblende fields in Colorado
were discovered about eight years ago,
but until the present time no extern
StNe attempt mas Deeu Waue 10 utlllZe
them for the manufacture of radium.
The expense of manufacturing this
precious substance is enormous, and to
do it on a large scale requires a CAPT
tai nothing short of fabulous. How
costly and how difficult the process is
may be inferred from the fact that
there are but nine grams of radium
in existence in the whole world.
There is need of radium in America.
We congratulate Mr.. du Point on his
new enterprise. If he succeeds in oh.
tanning radium and devotes its to the
uses he has promised, he will have
made himself a public benefactor.-

" ASTE BROOMHANDLES
OF THE UNITLD STATES

In this day of conservation of re-
sources, is it seemly that forests should
be depleted to provide handles for
brooms with but a brief life that leave
perfectly good, strong handles to be
thrown upon TIE rubbish heap; and yet
in this day Of sanitary science. who
will be bold enough to recommend the
return of handles to factories for a
second using and a third, and to the
end of time so far as the handles life
permits. But in view of the statement
of the National Forestry department
that 90, 000,000 b~roomhandles are used
annually inthe United States, the prob
lem of the broomhandle waste is OBJ
viously one requiring attention. The
secondhand bottle and the discarded
rubber and old paper problems have
long since found solution, with the rag
and junk inclusion growing steadily
more extended, until even the old tin
can is treasure trove. Apparently only
the broom handle is allowed to 90 to
waste, or at best to become extrava-
giant frewood. With the space writers
every now and then reveling in the
fortunes made from the junk heap and
the rubbish pile, somebody ought to be
ingenious enough to save those 90,
