manded that high school students
should take a severely classical
course in the high school, that all
students should take practically
the same course. and that the
course should be an adequate tech
meal preparation for college re-
gardless of the fact that only
small percentage of the students ex-
pected to attend college and col
lege preparation was therefore not
Dy any means the most important
of the functions of the high school.
IN ten years the high school has
developed to such an extent that
the colleges no longer dictate its
courses and it is fast realizing it's
ambition to be not merely a step
e stone to the college, but to
ford in itself a practical and use
full training for the young people
who attend it. The high school
contends that this practical train
ing including some of the cultural
clements and taking into account
the local community needs and in
terests is the best possible prepar-
alton for college. The better col
leges of the country admit the turth
of this contention and have modi-
fled their entrance requirements to
enable the high schools to give the
students great freedom of choice
of subjects, thus enabling each
high school student to choose the
subjects in his high school course
that will be most useful to him,
whether he expects to attend col
lege or not.
The university of Chicago requires
only three years OF English, giving
The student perfect freedom of a
choice of the other twelve units re-
CURED for high school graduation.
The university of Minnesota re-
quires four years of English and

lish. One hundred and ten COL

sion. and 20 colleges require no

The board Of education has re-
vised the tuition regulations to
read as follows:
Regular tuition in grade schools
two dollars per month required OF
all pupils who are residents of La
mar only during the school term
for the purpose of attending school
and whose parents live outside
of district No. IA. or do not occupy
an entire house in Lamar.
In the high school the regular
tuition is five dollars per month
under the same conditions, ex-
cepting that pupils whose parents
live in the high school district en-
ter tuition free.
Pupils who make their home in
Lamar during the entire school
year pay no tuition.
Pupils over twenty-one years OF
age will not be required to pay
tuition unless the schools should
become overcrowded on account OF
admitting them.
Pupils whose parents. either OF
both, move to Lamar and rent an
entire house during the term pay
no tuition.
The board believes 1t is a good
thing for the town II families
are encouraged to move here for
the winter to educate their child

for those who wish to establish

DISCOVERY OF WILD WHEAT.

There recently arrived in this country
from ZichrOn Jacob, 4 Jewish colony in
Palestine, a young Jewish a~grOnOmist-
Aaron AarOnsOhn by name, who is the
discOverer of wild wheat" the lOng-lOst
parent grain from which wheat, as il
is known today, was derived and for
which agriculturists have sought for
centuries.
From numerous excavation made in
Egypt and Central Europe it had been
concluded by scientists that wheat was
the staple article Of food for prehistoric
man, as it is today. Wheat was cult
waited III Egypt at least 1000 years be-
fore the Chritian era, and for as many
years in China. Whence wheat came to
man, however. or what was its original
wild form which prehistoric man found
and cultivated, what was the true nature
of this plant and how far cultivation
for thousands of years caused it to dcv-
late from its natural habits, puzzled ag-
ricultural scientists and bafflcd answer.
Prof. Schweinfurth, known in the
scientific world as the king of explorers,
and several other eminent agrOnOmistS
believed that wild wheat could be found
in M~eSOpOtamia or Palestine, and they
urged Mr.. AarOnsohn to undertake the
search, states the American Hebrew. In
the year 1903 Mr.. AarOnsOhn started to
explore Northern Palestine with the
hope of finding the precious plant, but
for three years he failed to find any
trace of it.
On June Is, 1906, he was walking in
the vineyard of the Jewish agricultural
colony. ROSh-Pinah, at the foot of
Mount Kenaan, when he noticed sudden
lv in the crevice of Il rock an isolated
plant which, at first sight, looked like
a stalk of barley, but which, On closer
inspection, proved to be wheat, whose
ripe spikelets could be detached from the
brittle rachis by the slightest shake. The
development of the head and grains was
so perfect. so similar to the forms pro
duced under cultivation at the present
day, that the young agrOnOmist could
hardly believe that this was the wild
prototype of wheat.
IAlCIIuIHS uS CCdICn 1uIlHOI hOIlns
Mr.. AarOnsohn found numerous forms
of the wild wheat growing in abundance
at the foot and on the slope of Mount
HermOr specimens of the discovery
were sent to PrOfs. Schwcinfurth. Koer-
nicke, AschersOn and others, and the
scientific world concluded that at last
the long-sought ancestor of our wheat
had been found.
At first only the scientific and the
oretic value of the discovery were taken
into consideration, but the subsequent
studies of Mr.. AarOnsOhn convinced him
that the wild wheat rarely appears on
soils that have been cultivated for any
purpose. 1t grows upon the slopes of
the most arid and rocky hills and in
places exposed to the hottest rays of
the Eastern sun.
BY selection and crossing of this wild
cereal new races could be produced
which would be very persistent and
hardy. In this way the cultivation of
wheat could be extended to regions
hitherto barren because Of the poor soil
and the severity of the climate. These
facts are set forth in a bulletin written
by Mr.. AaronsOhn and published by the
bureau of plant industry of the United
States department of agriculture

five years to life. The wife recites
the fact that he was convicted in the

time in the state prison. AS a second
ground for divorce, she claims that he
had illicit relations with Hazel Bene-
