JUDGE THOS. NELL
HAS SCHOOL VIEWS
Former Pullman Man Gives His
Opinion on Big Question--Strong
for Vocational Courses

In compliance with the requests
of mem bers of the committee on edu-
cational survey appointed at the last
session of the legislature that pri-
committee their opinions in regard
to future policies of the school sys-
TEN of the state, Judge Thos. Neill
of Colfax, formerly of Pullman,
opines as follows through the col
umns of the Palouser, published at
Colfax:
Il believe that we have arrived at
a time in social development when
the public school system must be
changed and the child taught from
a different view point, and while it
may take some time to make the
change, still it would be we'll that
all proposed changes should have in
view some ultimate purpose.
I'm considering and discussing the
public school system'we should keep
in mind that it is distinctly social
institution, and that the only excuse
for its existence Cat the public ex-
pense) is to educate and develop in
dividuals so that they may become
more useful to society.
Every subject taught should have
this end in view and should be
taught from this viewpoint.
Under a rational system, the
time now taken to complete the
eighth grade should be sufficient to
develop the child mentally, morally
and physically for average citizen
ship.
The intermediate course between
the college and the public school
should be vocational and semi-Yoca'
tional; that is to say, it should have
vocational courses which would be
complete in themselves, and other
courses which would be preparatory
to the college course, and all college
courses maintained at the publlc's
expense should be vocational. Socl-
ETY. should not be required to pay
the expense of giving anyone a pure
" literary course which has no social
purpose in view.
Teachers should be required TO
study and understand the capablll-
ties and aptitudes of each pupil
under their charge, so that they can
intelligently advise parent or pupil
as to the avocation which the pupil
is specially fitted to follow as his
life work.
"The present system of managing
schools and employing teachers
should be changed so that teachers
may be placed in schools with the
viewpoint of their qualifications TO
meet the required conditions and
should not be subject to the whims
of local ideas or prejudices, and they
should be paid salary commensur-
ate with their ability, and induce
ments given them to make teacnins

councilman Watts Point Sustained
by State Commission-.Gas Must
Test 900 Thermal Units

When Councilman George II.
Watt offered an amendment to the
gas ordinance now under considera-
ton by the city council. providing
that the gas furnished test between
5O0 and $50 British thermal units
per cubic foot, he brought a storm
Oh protest from Mayor jackson and
some of the councilmen. who
claimed that such a demand upon
the company would be impossible
OF fulfillment and would result in
the withdrawal of the petitioners
from the field. Three hundred and
nifty British thermal units was men
toned as a fair demand upon the
company, but even this failed of
passage and no provision was made
fer the guaranteed efficiency of the
gas furnished under the proposed
franchise. Councilman Watt was
persistent in his contention that his
proposed amendment was a fair one
to all concerned, and Mayor jackson
was equally persistent in his claims
that it would be impossible to pro-
vide that efficiency with the fuel
facilities offered in the state of
Washington, and that the proposed
requirement was not consistent with
the requirements made of other gas
companies.
That Councilman Watt was within
reason in his demands is indicated
by letter received by him this week
from Arthur j. Lewis of the public
service commission of the state of
Washington, which reads, in part,
as follows:
Replying to your letter of July
23d, we beg to say that in the rules
adopted by the commission, all gas
furnished to consumers for lighting
or heating purposes shall show a
monthly average total heating value
of not less than 900 British thermal
units per cubic foot, with a mini
mum which shall never fall below
$50 British thermal units per cubic
foot.
From the court decisions as to
the jurisdiction of the commission
in matters of rates and service of
public service companies, it is quite
we'll established that the commission
las superior jurisdiction, and that
franchise provisions control only I'M
til such time as the commission
should, upon investigation, establish
what in their judgment was the
proper service and rate. .
Commissioner Lewis enclosed a
pamphlet containing the commits
sion's rules concerning gas, electric
and water service, which also
throws considerable light upon the
m Dotted question. The special rules
concerning gas will be of interest to
Pullman people at this time, and
are printed in full:
Rule 10. Every gas company
selling more than 100000 cubic
feet of gas per annum shall, when
required by the commission, provide
itself with equipment necessary for
testing meters, such equipment to
consist of a standard meter-proyer
with suitable accessories, to be ap-
proved by the commission.

liver gas without any noticeable
fluctuation in the light caused by
the mechanical operation of the

Rule 10. Each gas company
whose output exceeds 100000
cubic feet per year, shall maintain
at different points on it's mains one

service is rendered.
Rule 20. Gas pressure, as meas
ured at meter inlets, shall never be

inches, not exceeding one inch for
each 1875 feet of elevation of the
consumers outlet above the gas
holder supplying that section.
Rule 81. In no case shall gas sold

tain more than 80 grains of total
sulphur per 100 cubic feet, nor more

tain more than five grains of am
mcnia per 100 cubic feet.

INSPECTORS RAP
ECONOMY SCHEME
Report of State Bureau of Inspection
Says Plan Has Cost County
Thousands of Dollars

Olympia, July 23.-That the So
called economy scheme of the
county commissioners of Whitman
county, whereby they have cut down
the force of the county treasurer,
has resulted in the loss of thousands
of dollars to the county is the state
ment contained in the report on the
financial affairs of the county, made
by the state bureau of inspection.
The county treasurer has to handle
100000 annually and make ap-
proximately 286 segregations month
ly, so the work is no sinecure, and to
handle this immense volume of bust
ness an astonishingly small force is
kept and the pay is too small, &C
cording to the report.
In connection with the severe ar
raignment of the economy" plan the
report says the school districts as
we'll as the county are losing money
every month on account of belated
warrant calls; in fact, they are los
ing more than the county has been
able to save by the reduced clerical
force.
The report is complimentary of
the financial condition of the county,
showing assets of $319,637 and liza
blities Of $129,545, leaving a sur
plus on hand of $4,000. Cash on
hand aggregates $75,381, delinquent
taxes $64,442, the fixed assets ap-
proximate $166,520 in value, while
the estim ated receipts total $11, 486.
OF the total liabilities $3416 rep
resents the warrant Indebtedness,
while the budget of expense for the
coming year is estimated at $685.
1877. Due to the large amount of
money the county treasurer must
handle the report recommends that
that officials bond be increased
from $4,000 to $25O,0OO.
Touching the offices of county au-
ditor and sheriff, as we'll as assessor,
school superintendent and county
commissioners, the report deals with
them in terms of highest praise.
The recommendation is made that
the county auditor be made county
purchasing agent so all acquisitions
for supplies shall go through him.
Regarding the assessors office,
the report recomm ends an up-to-date
ownership record, and 1t also sug-
gests that a systematic land cruise
Of all holdings in the county be
made for assessment purposes. A
great deal of money can be saved in
assessment work by this plan, says
the report.
In the findings the report shows
that the county commissioners have
allowed bills turned in by the county
physician for medical care and sup
plies in cases which, the report says,
should be covered by the contract Of
the county with the physician call
ing for this service free of charge.
These alleged illegal claims amount
to 1901.
