Only six weeks remain for study before the Seniors shuffle off to the mortal toll called examination. On the fifth of May they start and the Seniors are beginning to burn the midnight electricity in preparation for this event.
 The seriousness of the situation is beginning to dawn on the creeping intellects of the Seniors and they have begun to give the idea some con sideration.
 Groups of them may be seen at the High School boring over seldom used volumes of lore and on the play grounds and during the recreation hours they may be heard repeating quotations from the classics,

Euuinoctials.

The equinoctial or line storm Is pop. ularly supposed to happen when the sun crosses the line in March and Sep. tember. and is particularly expected about September 21. A careful tabu- !ation of the weather conditions of half century makes 1t clear that the weather more frequently is clear at that exact period. The idea was prob ably given birth to by some great storm which happened to fall at the time of year when day and night are of about equal length.

Seals are still numerous and are dis liked by Labrador fishermen. Dr.. Grenfell says that he has known seal to haunt a net so persistently that to get any fish the owner had to watch al. the while at one end of 1t. and even then the seal would almost snap of the dsherman's hand as he raced to be first to disentangle the salmon.

High School Building
Heated By Electricity.

Electricity from a government pow err
house furnishes heat for the new high
school at Rupert, Idaho, in the center
of the Minidoka Irrigation Project,
according to a statement issued by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. This Is said TO be the first
case on record where a large building
has been heated entirely by electricity.
The use OF electric current for heat
ing and for a variety OF other pur-
poses in the new building has caused
1t to be known as "The Electric High
School"
The system of electric heating in
stalled in the Rupert High School is
remarkable for its simplicity. The
usual arrangement OF hot-air pipes,
f1ues. etc, has been adhered to, but
instead of furnaces or steam coils of
electric heat units, similar to those
used in electric baking ovens. provides
the heat Twenty 1S-K. w. units. are
installed in pairs, each pair with
separate control of the current from
flee. Thus the principal can regulate
absolutely the amount of current used.
An emergency switch in the princi-
pals office may also be used to cut
out all current from the entire build
ing-heat, light, power, etc.
Electricity is put to work every
where in the Rupert building. A 10
horsepower motor, besides driving the
ventilating fan, supplies all the power
needed for the lathes and saws in
the manual training department. An
electric water heater supplies the hot
water for the domestic science depart
nent. for the shower baths, for the
various layatories. and for the science
rooms. In the domestic science room
each girl of class OF 20 has her in
dividual electric disk stove and all
necessary cooking utensils. This room
will also have an electric range and
other electric equipment for serving
cafeteria lunches on large scale

VOX POPULI.
PROF. ARMSTRONG DISCUSSES
THE TAX ASSESSMENTS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Few people think enough of it to
realize the gigantic task that Is con-
fronting our county, and city tax as
SCISSORS; for each is engaged in an
attempt at hundred per cent valua-
tions of property. I dare say each sees
his job lot only as gigantic, but, with
the facilities at hand, almost hopeless.
l have seen some of the results of
the work of our city assessor His eff
forts are conscientious; and in the
judgement of one who is not an expert
in real estate values, he is arriving as
nearly ut the truth as the means at
his disposal will permit. He is not
satisfied, however; he knows from his
one season at assessments how i'm
perfect must be his appraiseGnents, or
that of the commissioners acting as
an equalization board, when they have
so few data on which to base their
opinions. In his desire to set about
his task irtelligently, some time ago
he began making inquiries of other
cities as to their methods. His in
quiries led him to a correspondence
with the Somers Unit System people
and inviting their representative to
come lay his plans before the city
commissioners. This representative
came and the commissioners invited
the public to hear the proposition out
lined. There were few present when
the system was explained, but to those
few it must have been evident that
at last a method has been worked out
whereby valuations are no longer left
to haphazard; whereby. for all prac-
teal purposes, just assessments can be
arrived at, so far as real estate is
concerned. AS for personal property,
that will, it seems, always be a source
of injustice, a premium on perjury and
swindling. as it has been always.
The method Of arriving at ground
values is simple enough to one who
understands the system. It is done in
public meetings, and the values placed
are after all the valuations that the
community places on our land, with
the front foot as a unit.
From the experience Of other cities
that have adopted this system, it
seems satisfactory. 1t really distri-
butes the burden of taxation Of land
and improvements according to values,
as is contemplated by our laws. The
question is, How much is 1t needed?
How would the public profit by 1t?
1t would require the work Of experts
and a considerable clerical force for
it's installation. How would It pay
for itself?
Let US see. We are supposed by
an ordinance passed some years ago
to be assessed on a SO per cent or 70
per cent basis; 1 do not remember
which now. but that is inmaterial.
The point is how nearly has this been
followed out, how uniformly. how just
ly The point, after all, is to secure
justice, distribute the burden as it
should be distributed according to the
law.
1t would be a useless task to null
tiply instances of inequalities. one
would almost think determinations
A few examples that are representa-
tives will suffice to show that we need
some just system, uniformly applied.
Few people are inclined to protest
against bearing their just share of

This rs, 600 Dollar Deposit
Was Garanteed.

Yesterday the city of Pensacola re-
ceived a check for s25,0oo.0o from the
surety company, which had guaran-
teed the city's deposits to that amour:
in the First National Bank
The cost of this guaranty, to cover
period of one year, was s125.o0, or
one-half Of one per cent, which the
bank paid to the surety company as
a premium for its guaranty before the
money was deposited by the city.
If surety company can make these
guarantees, and profit by the bust
ness, at a cost of IL of one per
cent per anrum, why should not the
governmsn itself guarantee deposits
for all depositors, little as we'll as big.
and require all banks to pay the prem
ium to cover all of the deposits just
as this bank paid the premium to
cover this one deposit?
The guaranteed deposit is nothing
more nor less than an insured" de-
post, of the same character of pro-
lection as is your house insurance OF
your life Insurance. When your house
burns. you get the amount for which
1t was insured When you die, your
heirs get the amount for which your
life was insured. Why isn't it equally
as reasonable to have bank deposit

fail you would be paid the amount of
your deposit?

do no more important work than to
put bank deposit guaranty system
into effect 1t will come in a short
time anyway. Why not have it at
once?

form and upsets were curiously inter.

analysis of the play is confined strict.
ly to the regular varsity team, the re-
suits conceded with predictions. The
injection Of numerous second and
third string players produced several
features, not included In the forecasts
This applies particularly to the
Yale-Princeton and the Harvard
Brown contests.
Yale after scoring 10 points against
Princeton in Is minutes of play, thus
coming within one point of Harvard's
score over the same eleven one week
previous, sent line of substitutes in
in check. The complete failure of
this manoeuvre was shown by the
fact that the Orange and Black piled
UP two touchdowns and two goals in
less than ten minutes and was threat
ening to wrest victory from the Blue
when the final call Of time cut short
the chances Of an eleventh hour win.
Harvard. with the same idea of con-
serving the energies Of her varsity
combination for the Yale game next
Saturday, sent team composed chief
ly Of substitutes against Brown and
the result was q no-score tie. So
tar as actual bearing on the outcome

pected can be disregarded since a
