|CHANGE IN SYSTEM
OF LOCAL SCHOOLS
Board of Education Approves
Recommendations by Supt.
Thurston.
SUPERVISION IN GROUPS
is ONE OF THE FEATURES
Plan Believed to Make for Economy
and Greater Teaching
Efficiency,

Important changes in the public
school system of Washington were
proposed 10y Ernest l.. 'rhurston, su-
perjnteudent of schools, at a meeting
of the board of education at the Frank
lin building yesterday afternoon. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Thurston's recommends
tons which embody two important
changes in the matter of supervision,
the board unanimously Endorsed his
propositions. giving him power to take
the necessary steps. The plans will be
nut into operation with the reorgani-
cation February /. and will be regard
ed only in the light of experiment for
the present
The two changes proposed by Supt.
Thurston are the placing of two or
more schools situated in natural
geogra phical group under one pri''ci-
pal, and increasing the number of
principals, relieving others and put
ting this latter class in charge of
special departments of work. Supt.
Thurston made it plain that in neither
one he denoted in either salary or posi-
ton and that he intended to put the
plan into operation only as vacancies
naturally occur.
At the time Mr.. Thurston spoke sew
eraI prncipa ships were vacant. and
one supervising principalship, caused
by the death of Bernard T. Janney.

Offers Free Ball Uniforms.

Isaac Cans. representing SakS Il Co,
made an offer to the schools through
the board, whereby base ball suits are
to be given free to high school teams.
The board thanked Mr.. Cans and re-
ferred the offer to the committee on
military affairs and athletics.
A letter was received from Mrs. Cora
Harris asking her reinstatement a
tea cher in view of the recent court de-
cision, holding that rule A. was in
valid. The fact that an appeal has been
noted from the decision of the court
was noted and Mrs. Harris request
placed on file.
| A letter of regret for the death of
Mr.. Janney was read from Supt. Thurs
ton. Mr. Thurston later noted that the
| granting of leave of absence to Miss c. L..
! Garrison, for many years connected with
the schols of the District, in reality
| marked her retirement, at least tenn
| porarily. He took the occasion again
| to urge that retirement fund should
| be provided for teachers.
| He spoke highly of Miss Garrison's
work, saying in part:
| Miss Garrison has filled every posi-
| ton she has held in the schools with
distinction. Her fine intellectual qua :
ties and her tactfulness appealed
strongly to the patrons of the schools
she served as principal and teacher:
Miss Garrison during her teaching
| ca reer did much editorial work along
educational lines and this without de-
| racting in any way from her efficiency
| in the classroom. 1t is earnestly hoped
| that she may soon be restored 10
health sufficiently to enable her to re-
sumo her work in the schools

Changes to Be Made.

Experiment with the group principal
idea is to be made first in the cases of
the jefferson and Amidon schools, the
Wallach and Towers schools and one
other group not Yet chosen. The first
step in the redvision of work among
the supervising principals resulted in
detailing Ben w. MurCh, head of the
second division. as supervising princi-
pal of the first division, recently filled
by the late Mr. Janney: the abolition
of the second division as such. with the
schools therein being divided among
the first. third and eighth divisions.
The second division, as name or des-
ignation. was dropped instead of the
thirteenth, as would have seemed more
natural at first thought. in order to
prevent an entire REMEMBERING of the
system. with subsequent confusion.

Those who have recently re.
ceived bills for their subscrip.
tion and failed TO send in their
check will not receive another
issue Of the Courier unless the
said bill is paid. We are not in
the business for our health at all,
and if you do not think our paper
is worth the money it is an easy
matter to discontinue. The
groceryman and dry goods store
must collect their bills or they
refuse to credit you further, and
the Courier must do the same
thing. Your bill is small, and if
everybody comes across 1t will
help wonderfully, and no one
will miss the small amount.
We will soon have our linotype
installed, and will be able to give
our readers a much larger and
better paper. The farming lands
will soon come into their own,
and the Courier will Away
strive to record every improve

Home Grown Fruits

The Courier acknowledges re.
ceipt Of a fine lot of apples and
peaches from Mrs. w. ! Hobbs,
grown on the Hunt place, which
Mr.. and Mrs. Hobbs have rented
The apples are well matured and
Of tine flavor The peaches were
small, but sweet and of the finest
flavor. The orchard suffered
last year on account of not being
given proper attention, and
seems also to have affected this
years crop. The trees are about
seven years old and have a fairly
good crop this year regardless
of the disagreeable weather after
the bloom had come out last
spring.
Chas, Heath also has fairly
good crop Of apples, pears and
peaches. His fruit has suffered
quite a lot from the birds, but
the apples and pears are tine.
His trees are also seven years
old, and have done well.

Government Brings
in a Good Well
Water on New Camp Site Now
Sufficient to Supply Over l7,OOO
Men, AllOwing.2S Gallons Per
Day for Each Man.

The Hulsey we'll drilled by the
Government on the new camp
site was tested out the first of
this week after larger pump
and casing had been installed and
a much larger quantity Of water
was developed than had been ex.
pected. The capacity Of the
plant first installed was only
about so gallons per minute. A
six inch pipe was put in and 5A
inch cylinder, which furnished
100 gallons per minute
Work has been stopped on the

ment did not expect to use the
Engendorf well, il being further
out than was intended 10 20 with
the camp. This well has been
pumped for several years and
has a capacity Of over 100 gallons
per inmate. The Miller we'll will
be finished just as soon as the
drlller can get back To it. The
intentions are TO drill other wells
Just as soon as this one is com.
pleted.
Lieutenant Colonel Farms worth
stated that this was the best
camp site he ever saw. The land
il sandy and naturally drained
aud there is absolutely no danger
Jf the grounds ever becoming
muddy. The first two wells tried
out were not very encouraging,
but the last wells developed have
proven to be far bette than was
expected, and now the supply of
water is sufficient for all the
troops in the ,icinity of Colum bus
with plenty to spare.
1t is the general opinion among
the officers that Camp Furlong
will be the largest distributing
station on the border, and all the
preparations made so tar would
indicate that large body OF
troops are expected in the neat
future. The large expense thai
the government is being put tc
indicates that the camp is not by
any means meant for temporary
purposes.

1t will be noted, however, that the

ment in spending the money in
manner that it would be of some
benefit to the tax payers, but we
certainly would like to know
where every cent of the money
has been spent and would like TO
see a financial statement.
The Courier was opposed to
the 100000 bond issue in the
first place, and made statement
before the date of the election
that not over fifty per cent of the
money would actually be spent
on the roads. Now we have our
doubts about fifty per cent of the
first years appropriation being
actually spent on the roads, and
will continue to doubt until the
! financial statement is published
Mr.. Kelly said after the meetss
ing on Monday September 4th,
that whatever differences had
existed before should be forgot
ten now in such an emergency
and that he would endeavor t.
have something done to make a
first class highway to Columbus,
and that he would invoke the
aid Of Chas. Heath, and hold a
special meeting if necessary.
Mr. Heath has always advocated
a good road between the two
towns, and if, within the last
four years, any other mem ber OF
the board would have stood by
him we would now have such a
road. Mr.. Kelly has known al
the while that Mr.. Heath was
ever ready to cooperate witt
him If a road was really wanted
but such co operation has never
been given.
Now, when it can be readily
seen that this road will be o.

favor of drawing on next year,
