Declares TacOIna'S
Schools Are WrOnU

Leslie r. Mulch, alienist, OBJ
jects to the curiculem found in
the Tacoma schools.
The Russell Sage Foundation,
he says, after survey of 20
American cities, found that the
retardation of pupils due to
wrong systems average AZ per
cent.
This retardation consists
chiefly in the fact that children
are not permitted to advance as
rapidly as they might in subjects
in which they are most pro-
ficient," says he.
THE child IL kept back be-
cause of some other subject which
is difficult and also because other
pupils are not able to progress as
rapidly, in that, or other subjects.
THE average city school is run
on a hard and inflexible system
which is based on the view that
all children can be made to do the
same work at the same time in
the same way.
Not Personal in Attack.

ors of the city schools to be most

no attack on them.
Il have protested against the
continuance og system that
makes child cog in a machine
that thwarts in large measure
the actual education of the
child. This system drives the
majority of them out of the
schools before they reach the high
school and that nearly doubles
the taxation.

public school is breaking down

of the question whether extralateral
rights exist upon a vein IN the form
|of a single anticlinal fold. 1t is the
| contention OF counsel for appellant
that such rights do not exist for the
reason. among others alleged, that
the federal statute does not contem-
plate extralateral rights in opposite
directions. 1t is the contention that
only veins dipping in the I'm di-
rcctlon as the discovery vein may be
followed extralaterally; that where
within the same location a secondary
vein is found dipping i'll the opposite
direction as that of the discovery
vein extralateral rights cannot be en-
1oyed. We think the statute is 0
susceptible of this. construction. The
statute gives to the locators-
the exclusive right, possession and
enjoyment OF all the surface includ-
ed within the lines Of their locations
and OF all veins, lodes and lodges
throughout their entire depth. the
tops or apexes of which lie inside OF
such surface lines * * * although
such veins, lodes or lodges may SO

Congress manifestly contemplated
that the locator Of 4 mining claim
might discover more than one vein
within his surface boundaries and
provided that he should have "all

direction negatives an intent to per-
NIT ~extralateral rights in opposite
directions because the words in
their own direction" relate to but
one direction. that of the dip Of the
discovery vein. We are unable to see
the force OF this contention. The
direction of an end line depends upon
which end OF the line it is viewed
from. The courses given in a pat
ent of the two end lines Of a clam
usually, and doubtless invariably, are
in opposite directions. 1t would be
a strained construction and me-. we
think, not within the letter or spirit
of the statute, to hold that end lines
may be considered as having but one
direction.
If a vein in the form of a single
anticlinal fold maye be said to have
an apex, we think there is nothing in
extralateral rights upon such vein IN
opposite directions the same as though
it were two veins with separate
apices, instead Of one vein.
The most serious question present
ed in this case is whether the vein in
question may be said to have al
apex. The vein is in the form OF q
single anticlinal fold and the precise
question presented by a vein in sucl
form appears never, heretofore, tc

latter, should be held to constitute
an apex.
The distinguished counsel for ap-
pellant in his great work on Mines,
says:
In the light OF the rules announc-
ed IN the previous articles. if a given
mineral deposit is in place. it is a
lode. The law assumes that the lode
has a top. or apex, and provides for
the acquisition OF title by location
upon this apex. \ lode without an
apex IS not contemplated and no pro-
vision is made for locating it. IT
cannot be located under the placer
laws, because these laws apply only
to deposits not in place. and before
it can be legally located as a lode.
the apex, or top. must be found. Ii
a location is made on the side or on
the dip, whoever discovers and prop
to enjoy the full rights accorded to
regular valid lode locations, and the
rights OF those who have located on
the side edge, or dip, must Yield.
"The most serious difficulty in de-
timing the apex has arisen in connec-
ton with certain fiat, or blanket
deposits, which have beer judicially
determined to be lodcs within the
meaning OF the statutes. 1t is often
quite 1mpractlCable to fix upon anv
exposure Of such a deposit which
properly constitutes the apex. 1t S
true that alter a lode patent is issued.
the existence OF an apex within the
patented ground will be conclusively
presumed, but not necessarily the
apex OF the Eein in dispute. Nor will
1t be conclusively presumed that any
particular exposure OF the vein is
that apex 1t must still remain a
question Of proof" CLindley on
Mines. Vol. l. 3rd Ed. Sec. 305.)
Can it be said with reason that A
VEN Ill the form OF a single anticlinal
told was not intended to be the sub
Ject OF a location within the meaning
OF the mining statutes because it
does not possess a terminal edge? 1t
is conceded that it is a vein or lode
and it is we'll settled that it is one.
An valuable mineral deposits y
open to exploration and purchase" is
the language OF the statute. (Rev.
Stats, L. s.. Sec. 23lo,. The federal
statutes clearly contemplated that the
vein i'll question was subject % loca-
ton, for it made no exclusions OF
veins Of n particular character. If
a vein without an apex is not con-
templated and no provisions made
for locating it., as the distinguished
author says, then it follows as a nee
