An attempt to determine accurately the productive e fciency of senographers is reported in number of the Literary Digest The writer found that because there standard of proficiency his office one nographer apt to be paid twice much another not done with the highest efficiency
 Tn order to discover standard number of things had to be considered, such as the average number of words in typewriter line the average number of lines to the number of stenographic pages to
 typed page, the average number of words to a minute in typewriting and the average of minutes re quired to typewrite page.
 With these statistics go and two fixed require mens for stenographersto pens instead of pencils and to operate the typewriter by the touch systen-i was comparatively simple establish standard of 100 cent proficiency
 All the stenographers in his graded according to the standard adopted the writer says They are paid for what they actually accomplish at the rate of so much minute hour the the standard averaged number of words per minute-for example one cent 9 minute for 40 words minute
 This system opened the way for many improvements n efficiency and general satisfaction the office Ste nographers who up to standard when copying but who were below the standard when transscribng from short hand notes, given work thye could do to the best advantage of the whole office Both employer and employee received fair return, the for his none. tl other for his work.

 Nothing better has happened Mexico for years than the punitive expedition sent across the border elimi- nate Villa and his band.
 The benefit to Mexico, may we'll admit, is pure y incidental purpose is solely avenge the death the Americans slaughtered by Villa and his bloodthrs ty in their raid America nterritory.

 But the advantage that Mexico herself gain from proper performance of this unpleasant task is of all proportion advantage. It is the interest of every awabding Mexican-and there really such-to eliminated the chief obstacle to the establishment stable in Mexico It is worth many lives and much money have the bandits cleared out the state of Chihuahua. Mexico could well afford pay all the expenses of sending American troops clean up the other regions if hankefed after any such job.

Manager Robinson seems to have
a better team this year than for sew

some fine and consistent hitters, and
the defensive ability of both in and

than any in the National league.

Just a few days ago he went in

for instruction. The two prominent
methods of teaching the deaf, known
as the silent or manual method, and
the oral or speech method, were
started at the same time about 1870.
A controversy Immediately sprung
sprung up between the adherents of
each and has not ceased yet. The
schools in Europe were divided, some
using one of these methods and some
using the other, and both doing
good work and getting good results.
1t remained, however, for the Ameri-
can schools to recognize the good
points of both methods and to unite
can combined system, which Is used
in this school.
There is in Washington, d. c., the
only college for the deaf in the world.
Gallaudet College Is supported by the
national government and its gradu-
ates are doing business and making
good in every part of the United
States. The state pays the expenses
to Washington and return of any of
the graduates of the state school.
The uniformly cheerful resignation
and gentle obedience of these unfor-
tunate little ones entities them to
the most generous fostering care on
the part of the state. The happy dis
position of the children Is amazing
and in their play they rival all chill
dren with full hearing.
The School for the Deaf Is situated
upon a tract of land containing a lit
tie over II acres, and 1t lies about a
mile and a half from the business of
the city of Vancouver. The outlook
ID strikingly beautiful; the build
ings face the south and are on a
bench about 125 feet above the sur
face of the Columbia river and in full
view of Mt. Hood.
The administration building occu-
pies about the center of the tract.
The foundation and walls OF the
building are brick. but is a rookery,
and has long been considered un-
sanitary and a menace to the health
and the lives of the pupils The
building has outlived its usefulness
to a great extent, and a new up-to-
date and fiRe-proof administration
and school building should be pro-
vided by the legislature.
The east and west wings of the
building contain the hospital, lady
teachers rooms, school rooms and
bed rooms for the night watch. Back

are the chapel and dining rooms. Ad-

While NJ. f. Durham of Seattle
is not considered a politician, yet
he has shown unusual campaign
ability in his race for the office
of state superintendent of public
instruction. In King county,
where Durham has occupied al
most every position from rural
teacher to city teacher and county
superintendent of schools, he will
poll an overwhelming majority of
the votes. The country school
patrons declare Mr.. Durham to be
the creator of modern and better
conditions in their schools and the
business and professional men Of
the county are demanding state
administration of more practical
and business-like nature such as
Durham has demonstrated in his
handling the affairs Of King
county schools. Those who claim
to know are outspoken in their
expression of confidence in his
election.

The progressive party of this
state in mass convention at Seat
tie last Saturday decided by a de-
cisive vote to maintain all it's
state and county organizations, to
continue the national organization,
and to induce candidates to file
on the progressive ticket in state
and counties. A resolution was
passed providing that where there
was no progressive county ticket,
an examination be made to deter
mine the progressives on other
tickets and support them.
The convention refused to sup
port Hughes for the republican
nomination, evidently on the
ground that he was not progress
sive. Wilson was announced as
having given this country much
progressive legislation, and the
prohibition candidate Hanly was
stated to be progressive.
The national progressive party
is making arrangements to com
plete their national ticket, the
leaders of the party refusing to
accept dictation from the moneyed
interests or to return to the stand
pat element which they left four
years ago.
