REPORTS WILL BE A
VOCATIONAL GUIDE

Most important and farreaching
among the resolutions adopted by the
county superintendents in their confer
ence at Salem last week, was the one
authorizing the state superintendent to
prepare uniform card record for the
pupils Of the grades and nigh schools
of the state to be used in all districts
of the second and third class. On these
cards are to be recorded, not only the
standings in each subject but also the
teacher 3 estimate of the pupil appli
cation for study, Il note of the sub.
jects in which he excells and physical
record; the lines of work in which he
seems especially interested and ais be-
havior. If he should leave school be-
fore finishing the grades, this will be
noted, with the cause of his leaving.
When the child is ready to enter high
school, this record Will be of service to
the teacher and to tne parent in plan,
ming the pupil high school course,
For example, the boy has always been
exceptionally strong in mathematics and
shows leaning toward scientific work,
but has been rather weak in his Lam
guage work, it will be easy to deter
mine the course tor which he is natur-
ally fitted, If he has been very irregu.
lar in attendance all through his grade
work, it will show the high school teach
ed that he will need special attention in
order to get anything from his high
school course. The record, IN short,
will be a vocational guide and will help
the teacher to be of assistance to the
boy or girl in finding out waat kind
of work they are best fitted to do
The plan is to have each teacher send
this record once a year to the office of
the county superintendent, lie will
have card index system in his office,
and the teachers report will be tran,
scribed to this card.

well that the farmers with well filled
Golfers will be free spenders The big
iObbing houses of the West are openly
confident. The agricultural implement
concerns are looking forward to a good
business and free payment of farm
ers' loans which had been accumulat
ing. Low priced automobile concerns
are also expecting large sales to the
farmers. The fruit crop is good in al
most all sections, and the corn crop
is progressing satisfactorily under ia
vorable conditions, in spite of the alb
sence of warm weather. Current esti-
mates are for a crop of 2,900,0000 900
bushels, which would be the largest
crop on record except that of 1912
which amounted to 3, 100000. The
only important crop not doing really
well is cotton, the condition of which
was reported at 1916 against SIS last
year, but the acreage is large, 36,900,-
600, having been exceeded but once,
last year, and the latest advices now
say the crop is growing well. Allow
ing for the usual deterioration in July
and August, there is still time for more
than average crops of both cotton and
/ corn, and the agricultural outlook as a
whole is one that affords the soundest
available basis for encouragement One
good authority estimates that our agri-
cultural products this year, including
animals, will probably reach IL or II
billion dollars, compared with 10 bill
lions last year.
Next to the crops, the best support
ing influence is cheap money. Funds
are abundant for qll sound purposes.
There may be some closer scrutiny of
commercial credit resulting from the
Claflin failure, but rGde conditions
generally are sound and good borrowers
will find no difficulty in securing all
the accommodation which they may
need. Further assurance regarding the
money market has been guaranteed by
Secretary McAdoo's prudent offer to
| give such assistance through the re-
lease of treasury funds for moving the
crops as may be necessary. 1t is quite
/ probable that the new reserve system
will not be in working order in time to
meet financial requirements this au-
tumn. Hence the timeliness of the see.
retary's action. Moreover, it will be
some months and possibly a year before
the new banking system is in thorough
working order. Gold exports have
about ended, and soon we shall be ex-
porting wheat and cotton instead. In
spite of the recent large exports of
gold, our banks are well supplied with
the precious metal.
The situation abroad shows an i'm
proving tendency, especially at London,
/ At Paris there is still some tension
owing to an uneasy political situation,
but financial affairs generally on the
continent are settling down, and the
ealmness with which the assassination
at Sarajevo was received shows that
no serious complications are yet in
prospect The shock of the Clafhn fail
ure has been safely passed; although
it is somewhat premature to anticipate
that the taking care of over $4,000, 900
Of liabilities can be affected without
some losses and difficulties Current
railroad earnings frequently show very
poor results, and additional receiver
ships are unpleasant reminders of the
strain imposed upon railroad finances

HENRY CLEWs WEEKLY
FINANCIAL LETTER

New York, July 3.---ht last the stock
market seems on the verge of awaking
from its lethargic sleep, and this in
spite of the many u,iS9vurable factors
which still remain. Eviently these have
! been literally discounted. Such shocks
as the Clafln failure, the assassination
, of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and
fresh railroad receiverships are almost
ignored. For some time past it has
been self.evident that this market was
, thoroughly sold out after nearly twenty
months of steady hquiIatlon. Its tech
I nical position, as has been frequently
pointed out, is steadily improving; and
only some developments of n convinc-
ing and promising nature are needed to
infuse fresh life and hope into tho local
market. In some circles the occasional
strength of the market was credited to
anticipatiOns of Il favorable rate deci-
sion. This, however, was pure guess
work, as the dictum of the commission
{ has been still further delayed and their
opinion as u body is still kept in per.
feet secrecy. There is good reason to

able decision, simply because of the

EXPECTS HUERTA's DOWNFALL
President Wilson's Action Feared by
Mexican Government

WASHINGTON, Feb 4.-President
Wilson expects the lifting of the en-
barge on the importation of arms into
Mexico to result in the complete
crushing of President Huerta within
short time. Representatives of the
Constitutionalists are jubilant over the
action of the American government.
Military experts claim that the re-
moval of the embargo probably will
have such market effect on Mexican
sentiment that Huerta will be driven
from Mexico City long before Car
rama is knocking at it's gates. Pro-
test lodged with the state department
from Senior Algara, charge OF the Mex
lean embassy in this city, against the
presidents action indicates how great
ly the Mexican government has feared
this action.
