believed would be desired by his COM
pany
Another man who represented com
pany In Kansas is keeping an eye on
lands which he hopes to get right after
the arrival of representative who is
expected to arrive within few days.
Still another local representative is at
this time negotiating for leasing OF lands
lying within the Basin Gardens, these
leases being taken over for drillers who
are at this time located I'm the Oklahoma
field. M
| strike Near basin.
This activity comes as a result OF the
| strike made by the Greybull Oil company
in lands lying rist cast OF Basin. In
every well drilled the company found
oil In sand which lies above the Grey
| bull sand and which It did not expect
to find. This land lies on either side of
the Torchlight holdings and this property
is believed to be very rich in oil.
The great find OF natural gas, which
was mado in two wells brought in within
the last four weeks. was made in land
lying two miles north OF tho Torchiight
property. The first OF these wells Is
estimated to have an output OF 1850. .OOC
cubic feet per day, while the second IL
estimated at l.5OO.000. The company IL
at this time drilling a third well which
Is expected TO come In within a day OF
two and It is generally believed II will be
another good we'll. as the field Is thought
to be large one
Drilling Begins soon.
But what pleases the people OF Baair
and vicinity most is the assurance that
the lands OF this vicinity will be drilled

providing for drilling during the mex
eight months. While attention has bee,
generally directed toward the withdraw
public domain. the decided lands OF thi
section have been passed over by III,
companies which have been doing bust

/ action OF the new companies Is very graf

Another thing which Is cheering tn

OF the fact that the government has no

understood that this was the case, but ,
5 recent investigation shows that the gov

suit OF this finding Is that these Ian,
owners are happy in the thought that

Another result is that some OF the me
who are seeking leases are now consider

Wilbur Hollow.

In the event Of the General Assembly's
turning down the Providence Water
Supply Act" which seems more than
likely, what will the city do with Wilbur
Hollow which it has recently purchased
in anticipation of the coming deluge. It
strikes Us that the case will be somewhat
like that of the man who bought an
elephant The city will have a lively
little suburb on its hands that it cannot
very we'll annex. 1t will be like foreign
possession, or an arms length tributary.
Wilbur Hollow sounds little too rural for
Its metropolitan connection and we would
recommend it be called Cary City
Coventry has a Rice City and why should
Scituate not have a Cary City or Potters-
burg? A municipal cider mill could be
maintained at Whitman's place, the Shat
fer mansion could be utilized for the
Mayors summer residence aud the presen,
land Office should be kept intact, for the
city would have land to sell instead Of
land to buy. In short, it looks as though
the new owners of the Hollow could make
things hum there for awhile, even though
the big dam al Kent is~never built or the
mammoth reservoir never gets beyond the
limits ofsan "iridescent dream"

The Providence Tax Payer.

The person who should be most interest
ed in the building Of a storage reservoir in
Scituate and the one who had the least to
say about it thus far, is the Providence
tax payer. The reason that be Is ap
parently not interested is because he does
not understand the matter. He has been
told that the city needs more adequate
water supply and that his representatives.
have found the only place in which the
reservoir can be located He also vaguely
knows that it is going to cost a good deal
OF money. If he should "wake up" and
really sense how much it really will cost, If
the expensive plan now pending should
become operative, then the State House
hearings would be swarmed with interest,"
ed and angry citizens who would fairly
howl their protests against the bill The
tax payer is so used to having his repre-.
sentatives saddle him with obligations that
it is hard work to arouse him. The Prov
idence Journal says: Public seutim Mt is
clearly In favor of the Scituate reservoir
project" II public sentiment was educated
little, it would be strcnously opposed to
the extravagant scheme.

DECREASING IN EF-
FICIENCY?

In the opinion of several
heads of higher institutions OF
learning in the State, the grad.
uate of the average high school
in Texas today is not so well
prepared to take advantage OF
a college education as was the
graduate of the average high
school in Texas fifteen years ago
Professor Thomas Fletcher,
who inspects for the University
of Texas, has concluded, after
interviewing the heads of va
rious colleges and universities
in Texas, that the training CIV
en- in a great number of high
schools in the State has deter
iorated in the last fifteen years:
In speaking of the causes OF
mis- deterioration, Prof. Fletch-
er says that the chief reason is
the over-expsndon Of the high
school programs of study, re-
sulting in the overtaxing OF
both teachers and students.
With a view TO correcting this
evil, the questions arise Of how
many classes a teacher can
teach with n maximum of eff
cheney under given conditions,
and how many recitations a day
can the average high school stu
dent attend with profit? The
practice in sixteen high schools
in Texas was examined and 1t
was found that eight of them
require students to carry four
subjects at a time. ,
The Springfield Mass High.
School requires a minimum of
three recitations per day; the
st. Louis High School, four;
the New York High Schools,
the same. The Iowa Board of
Education requires of its ac-
credited list of schools that not
more than four recitations be
allowed per day. In short,
the overwhelming verdict of
pedagogical authority in the
United States would limit the
number of Rotations per day
per pupil to four. The trend is
toward a less number.
Now, let US see what the
practice is in this regard in l43
high schools of the rank and
file in Texas. In thirty-eight of
these schools pupils recite four
times a day; in ninety, five
times a day; in fifteen, six or
more times a day; so, in the
large majority Of the ordinary
high schools of the State the
practice is against the great
weight of reliable authority
the practice of over-burdening
the pupils with work.
