1 ENGTHENING THE
HOURS OF SCHOOL
Spokane Board Of Education will
Have Longer School Hours and
Less Study Out Of School
IGate citv special Service

[Gate City Special Serv1ce.l
SPOKANE, Wash, July 23.-Meet-
ing the popular demand for less study
outside of the school room, the Spo-
kane board of education has decided
to Iengthen the hours of attendance
in the high schools by three-quarters
of an hour. Commencing In Septem.
Der the high schools will convene at
$3.50 a. NJ, instead OF 9 as formerly
and will close at 2:45 p. m, instead
of 2:30.
In statement regarding the
change superintendent Bruce NJ. Wat
son said: This schedule provides for
seven school periods per day instead
of six, as formerly. It does not con-
template more subjects or heavier
programs for pupils, nor generally for
teachers. The seven-period system
makes possible school pro
gram caring for the numerous activi-
ties of complex high school organi-
cation to better advantage than the
six-period plan. 1t also enables a
pupil to choose his program to better
advantage.
"The new plan gives every pupil
one more period for study In school
under conditions better for study than
most homes afford and also affords
better opportunities for consultation
between pupils and teachers"
J. Grier Long, president of the
board, suggested that the change in
hours might interfere with contracts
under which pupils were working out
side of school hours. 1t was decided
that such cases could be met by spe.
cia1 arrangements Mr.. Long also
pointed out the danger of overcrowd'
ing the school courses by giving pu'
pills opportunity to take more sub
iects. The duty Of guarding against
this was left to superintendent Wat
son and the new schedule passed by
unanimous vote Of the board.

Charlton Loses Privileges.

COMO, Italy, July 23.-As a result
of the recent socialistic riots in Italy,
Porter Charlton, the American wife
murderer is having to undergo for the
first time the full rigors Of Italian
prison life.
Since Charlton was returned to TIA
ly from the United States last August
he has been the sole occupant OF the
Jail here. AS such, he has been allowed
the most unusual privileges, such as
the receiving of an occasional visitor,
an unlimited correspondence, daily
papers, magazines and novels. Dur
ing the recent riots the jail here was
filed up with socialists and others
who ran a foul of the police and mill
tary. That these may not be able
to take advantage Of the many pr1vi-
leges heretofore accorded Charlton,
all his privileges have been curtailed.
The reading of a daily Italian paper
was prohibited on the ground that tits
might give the other prisoners infor.
nation of the strike. As Charlton
has mastered italian perfectly during
his year of Italian prison life. his
daily American paper was also ia
booed as he would be able to commun-
icate to his fellow prisoners pro,:ibi-
ted information.
Present indications are that young
Charlton will have to continue his
present restricted regime until his
trial comes off next November. He
continues in the best of health.

Drudgery.

Register and Leader: Many people
have a feeling that what they call
drudgery is far beneath them, that it
represents an undignified, unpromis-
ing and altogether CALLING state OF act
Iivity. To very young persons, espec-
tally, this scorn of uninteresting ap-
prcation is likely to be common. Yet
the successful men and women OF the
,wor1d-successful in any sense of high
personal achievement-have not gen.
lerallv managed without little Of the
hard work that we are fond OF calling
drudgery.
| The point is that they have looked
beyond the toll to some ultimate pur-
pose, or that they have Illuminated
even drudgery by their own faith or
hope or devotion. 1t Is so often our
own fault alone If we allow our task
to remain drudgery. If we slight or
despfse it we are bound to overlook
pleasant possibilities to which 1t might
eventually lead. 1t is probably a good
thing to question our drudgsry, to
discover Just how much of it is es-
sentiai and unacceptable. After this it
is well to attack it with the disar1ning
cheerfnlness that refuses to be down
ed.
For work is a masterful thing I'M
less we prove ourselves its master.

WESTERN WATERWAYS

Museatine journal.

the Hennepin canal to the west
ward.
1t is estimated that the rehabili.
tation will cost about million
dollars in round figures. The last
legislature appropriated $oo,ooo
as a starter, and this is tied up IN
a test case in the circuit court OF
Sangamon county to determine
whether the state can without
violating the constitution provide
funds for the undertaking. The
canal cost the state nothing, ana
the property today is valued at
more than s3,500,0O0 1t was con-
structed at a cost of $6,S39,ooo,
and the deep rock cut cost 30
900 900 more. The entire expense
was paid out of the proceeds OF
the federal land grant and the
earnings of the canal itself.
Years ago the railroads fought
the waterways and put them
largely out OF business. Nova
days railroad men are coming to
the conclusion that barge canals
may aid the roads by relieving
them of low grade freight on
which the profits are small. Such
men as w. l.. Park, vice president
of the Illinois Central; Frederic
A. Delano, president OF the NO
non, and H. U. Nudge, president
of the Rock Island road, say the
railroads are friendly enough to
the proposition of rehabilitating
the rundown link between Joliet
and LaSalle.
an Europe the canal or river
has done what our railroads dnd
years ago in this country" said
President Nudge of the ROCK Is
land. which parallels the Illinois
and Michigan canal. while our
railroads have created industries
along their routes, in Europe the
waterways did that very thing.
In Europe the freight rates on
railroads are almost prohibitive
and more money is made by pas
senger traffic than from hauling
freight. Most of the English
freight trains, for instance, would
be considered jokes here-some-
thing like switch engine and
few box cars"
