OTHER SCHOLASTIC NEWS

Media High School made a brilliant
showing in basketball this season, but
failed to win the Delaware County High
School League championship in this sport.
When the baseball season opened and the
league teams started play, the Media High
athletes set out to win the title in the game
on the diamond. They accomplished their
purpose and ended the season in the con-
test yesterday with Chester High.
Chester High also had a strong team and
II was nip and tuck between these two
mines until the final and deciding game was
played yesterday, Media winning, 10 to 4.
Sidney Agnew, the husky southpaw twrler
for Media High, continued his excellent
work on the mound, holding the Chester
boys safe at critical times and making
three timely hits, two of which were
doubles.
The Delaware County League was a
great success this year, not only in basket
ball and baseball, but in other athletic COM
petitions. The students at Media High
Swarthmore High, Ridley Park High
Darby High, Haverford High and Lans-
dOwne were inspired to greater efforts, and
never before has so much interest been
taken in the big events.

New Commercial
Instructor at H. S.

Mr.. L. T. Hartwell, a single man
2S years old, has been chosen to
take charge of the commercial de-
partment of the Ashland high school
for the coming year to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation Of
L. T. Hodge. Mr.. Hartwell comes
with the very highest recommenda-
tions from one of the best business
universities in the United States and
has had two years teaching exper-
ience.
Mr.. Hodge, who has been the COM
mercial teacher, resigned to accept a
position in the commercial depart
ment of the Portland Y. NJ. c. A.,
where he will assist in building up
what they hope will be the best COM
mercial school in the Northwest.
The Portland Y. NJ c. A. schools
now rank very high in efficiency and
no doubt the commercial department
will take its place on par with the
others.

UNIFORMITY. ECONOMY AND
EFFICIENCY

II the railroads of the United
States are to be regulated in the
interests of the public, the very ma
ture of the situation dictates that
such regulation shall be exclusively
by the federal government.
The present policy of double regu-
lation by the federal government and
by As states is one of diverging and
conflicting interests, often purely
local but general in harmful effect
Unless the railroads as a unit are
improved, developed and adjusted TO
the general needs of the public along
the line Of a well-conceived general
plan. economic and efficient service
can hardly be expected.
For example, considering the gen.
eral plan OF efficiency. of what bene-
fit it would be other than purely 10
cal. for one railroad to increase and
improve its facilities If the connect
ing carrier was not able to receive
and handle the traffic? II would
simply mean congestion and delay.
For this reason the whole scheme
of transportation regulation and de-
yelopment should be uniform and
general. The interstate commerce
commission should have complete
authority and control. Half the pres
ent state commissions might be abol-
ished or made regional commissions
making the whole system uniform
and efficient.
There is state and interstate mail
service just as there is state and in
terstate railroad service, but the fed
eral government has exclusive regu-
lation and control of mails and would
refuse to entertain even a suggestion
of regulation by the states.
After all, uniformity, economy and
efficiency are the determining factors
and constitute the whole object, pur-
pose and reason for regulation OF
public utilities.

disgruntled.
Prof. Gilmore has set forth their
sore disappointment in verses, set to

reference to Ashland as a suitable
"abiding place" the whole OF the

This is how the poets colloquial
poetry reads:

the middle OF June, next. Dream

Will Confer About
Grant Land Taxes

Throught the instrumentality OF
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce a
meeting of representatives Of the
county courts, oranges and CONNER
cial organizations Of the IS Oregon
counties, containing portions of the
Oregon California grant lands, has
been called for August 2S in Eugene
at which a conference over the prob
lem of taxing the grant lands will be
held. A representative gathering of
Western Oregon counties is antici-
pated.
Former Governor West has raised
objections to the plan projected by
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce,
on the ground that any action look
ing toward the placing of these lands
on the tax roll would make it i'm
possible for the government to pay
the back taxes, money for which has
been appropriated by congress. Mr..
West takes the view that the action
of congress is final and that the coun-
ties should take what is offered to
them.
THE issue as l see it," says L. E.
Bean, chairman of the committee i'll
charge OF arrangements for the con-
ference, "is not the right of congress
to take from the railroad the admin
istration of these lands, but it is the
right of congress to take from the
state of Oregon the right of taxation
on these lands.

"At the hearings of this bill at

However, the producer also has
opinions, and should seem rather
poverty stricken in respect to brill
liant ideas about pictures and pic
ture acting, you may rest assured
that he started in with quite as many
or more notions than you have, but
observation or practice has forced
him to discard a great many of them.
While it is deplorable for any one
to start on any kind of work with
out ideas about it, it is even worse
for him to start with mixture of
ideas which are both good and bad
and refuse stubbornly to discard one
as the other. The man or woman
who can hold on to the good while
gradually wedding out the bad is
one scheduled for a place in the hall
of fame.
Ny advice to a girl, who is just
trying to get into pictures, is to have
ideas, but some reluctance about ad-
vancing them. Be content at first
to keep them to yourself and test
them out in the light of your new
experiences and observations in the
actual making of motion pictures
Be as ready to let go of impractic-
able notions as to cling to and re-
inforce the good ones. Remember
it is easy to begin with a lot of pre-
conveiced ideas and let them grow
into prejudices instead of useful in
formation.
