'THIRTY-EIGHT PUPILS
IN SCHOOL FOR BLIND
Next School Year viii Open
September 2O---New
Equipment

The Oregon State School for the
Blind viii open for the school year
next Monday, September 20, with 3S
pupils. As usual in all blind schools, the
boys are in the greater number, and in
this school 90 are boys and 10 girls.
While about 25 per cent Of the blind
are born in this condition, the greater
number Of boys without their eyesight
may be attributed to their more ad-
yenturous ways of play and differences
in their work from that of girls.
Besides superintendent L. T. MoOres,
who puts in part of his time in class
work, four teachers are now employed
in the institution. The last legislature
appropriated enough money to give the
school broom equipment, and this will
later be installed, and sometime in the
future, instructions will be given in the
practical making of brOoms. For the
girls, the domestic science work will
be extended, which will include instruc.
tions in all kinds of cooking and house
work.
Another department for the boys
which will be given more attention this
winter, is that Of piano tuning. The
last legislature appropriated money for
the purchase Of piano, and this will
enable the superintendent to use the
old pianos for instruction and practice
in the tuning work. Many factories in
the central and eastern states are using
blind tuners.
Another kind of work which will be
developed the coming school year is
that of writing on q typewriter from a
Pupils who show an apti-
tude for typewriter work will be given

Of his business letters last spring to a

less for the work, and the coming year,

In the music course, the study Of the

defective that they cannot attend the

'een prepared by which they will be

information regarding the applicant and
his parents, general subjects are to be
answered by a physician, especially re.
garding the health of the applicant,
where possible, an Oculist is required
to give the cause of blindness, and other
information.
Pupils are accepted between the ages
Of six and 81. The work is divided into
ten grades, exactly the same as public
schools and the same text books used,
printed of course in the raised forms
for the blind.

Has Company Right
To Sell Irnpounded Water?

Stockton, CAL, Sept. 14.-Has a DOW.
er company any right to sell the water
which it has impounded after it has
used that water for power development
purposeq
That is one of the questions before
the International Congress which
opened its 22nd annual session in
Stockton yesterday with hundreds of
delegates from all parts of the world.
The question will be discussed at round
table held by representatives of irriga-
ton districts under the direction of
A. L. Cowell, former secretary Of the
California Association of Irrigation
districts. Irrigation districts claim
that, after the water has created elec-
trio energy and is turned back to the
stream it belongs to the people, not to
the power companies.
This session of the irrigation congress
termed "the congress on wheels" be-
cause sessions will be held in Stockton,
Fresno, Sacramento and San Francisco
in succession and because the delegates
will spend three of their nights in
Pullman sleepers on special trains
speeding between cities, promises to be-
come most notable.
The congress was called to order this
morning by Major Richard W. Young
of Salt Lake City who introduced L.
A. Mares of Fresno, chairman of the
California board of control.
The keynote of the convention was
sounded by j. B. Case, of Abilene, Kan,
president of the International Irriga-
tion Congress.
One of the first resolutions intro
duced at this mornings session was
presented by William E. Smythe of
California and L. W. Shutliff of Utah,
who sat in the first National Irrigation
congress and who have attended nearly
an subsequent sessions. 1t calls for

Water, plus clay or ordinary
earth, when mixed, invariably
forms mud. On ordinary earth
roads the rains and melting snow
furnish the water and the passing
tsraff;c the mixing, and the results
muddy roads. Take aytbe water
or prevent it from mixing with the
clay or earth on the road surface
and little or no mud will result. In
other words, keep your road dry if
YOU wish it to remain hard, smooth
and free from mud.
Except in very sandy or arid re-
,gions, good. drainage is the cardi-
nal principle in the maintenance of
earth and gravel roads. Get the
water away from the road as quick
ly and completely as possible
Water naturally seeks the lowest
level. You can not keep the water
from falling on the road, but you
can assist its natural inclination to
get away tosa lower level.
Keep the ruts filed and the road
| crowned with slope toward the
side bitches Of from three-fourths
to one inch to the foot, and the
water will not collect on the roaC
to soak in and be mixed to mud by
passing traffic. Keep the sme
bitches clean and with frequen
outlets to get the water away from
the road entirely.

HOW TO MAKE AND
KEEP THE ROADS DRY
An important Paper Issued 10y
the American Highway Association

Do notlet the culvert clog up or
material accumulate ia the bitches
and hold back pools of water to
soak into and soften the foundation
of your road. Water is an enemy
that will run away il you will give
it g chance. Do not,neglect to give
it every chance. 1t will pay and
pay well.
Like most other enemies, water
is not very destructive or danger
GUS until it collects in force,
Therefore, get the watereway from
your road at every available oppor-
tunity and before it has time to
collect in sufficient volume as to be
dangerous to the road, and do not
invite certain disaster by making
your culverts too small to care for
the largest possible storm. Fur
thernore, build the cUlverts SO that
the water will, of necessity, flow
through them and not find way
around or beneath them. Proper
ly designed substantial wing and
end walls are the Notifications
which protect the culvert from at
tack and destruction during severe
storms. Do no build dry weather
culverts; build them with q view OF
caring for and protecting She road
during the worst possible .etorme.
Make yeur road dry, build it
it hard,end compact swith~a crown
sufficient to shed water rapidly to
the side bitches, and with ample
culverts and drains. To keep your
road dry, maintain the drainage,in
good condition. Drag your roade
after each rain; dragging Ellis in
the ruts, smoothes the surface and
! maintains the crown. On a road
which has been properly dragged
the rain finds no place to- collect
and soak into and soften the sur
face. Unless the rain is of long
duration the surface is softened
but very little. As soon as the rain
has ceased and the road surface
dried so that the clay is not sticky,
but while it is still plastic, drag the
road again. Any depression or
ruts which have been formed dur
ing snd after the reiE are thus fill
ed, and the surface .smoothed up
and plastered over with thin
plaster of clay or earth which packs
and becomes very hard. under pass
ing traffic. Therefore, in order to
make and keep your road dry, first
provide for good drainage and then
maintain the good drainage by sys-
tematic dragging after each rain.
Diligent attention to these points
will, in general, insure an eartk
road, fairly passable at all timee
and very good most of the time.

NO USE FOR HER.

A certain small village in the

noise and hustle of commerce,
boasts a female preacher, and the
lady's duty are many, says the
Springfield (Ill.) News. One day
she may visit the sick, another at
tend a funeral and the next bap-
tize a baby.
One afternoon she was preparing

and twirling his straw hat in his

"Yes, sir"
"Yess? Mel, [ want me to xii

The lady's hair is beginning to
silver and the German glanced al
it. Then he damned his hat or
his head and hurried down the
road.

after him.
"You gifts no chance nit me,
