Editorial in Prominent Pub
LEGATION Devoted to
CiN's System.

That the educational system OF
Missoula's public schools, directed by
Superintendent j. u. Williams. is re-
ceiving nationwide attention. is
crinccd by an editorial printed under
the caption ~Montana's Leadership
in the Journal of Education published
in Boston. Leaders in local educational
affairs consider that the tribute given
TO Mtssoula's school system by the
most widely circulated educational
journal in the country in admitting
that the educational system Of Mis-
soula is superior to that of the far Off
and effet0 east. is evidence Of the
efficiency of that system.
Winship's Editorial.
The editorial. written by 4. L. Win
shin. editor of the journal, reads as
follows:
1T will surprise many reader
in the eastern and middle west
states to know that several cities
In Montana are far in the lead
professionally and educationally
OF cities of the same size, and
similarly situated elsewhere.
"To be concrete. we select Mis-
soula. city of about $4,000 popu-
'ation. with no special source of
wealth. with no conditions Of spe-
cial Or unusual commercial and
industrial prosperity. 1t is i'm
portant TO keep those conditions
always in mind.
NO teacher receives less than
1850. and only for one year. the
FIRST year. is the pay as low as
that. increasing $50 a year up to
*l.:o0. with a flat rate for all
grades.
Naturally Superintendent J. L.
Williams can take his pick of the
best. and he done it skillfully.
No corps Of teachers has been
selected from n better class Of APP
plicantS
Progress Required.
"Fnt no preparation for teach
Ing satisfies Missoula. Every
teacher In service must make
twenty points in progress every
year. They must read good eau-
cational magazines, good educa-
ticnal and professional books,
must hear lectures, educational
and otherwise, must attend con-
Hcntions and associa tons.
These points are scheduled by
"a committee of the teachers cac,i
year. There is hot Il teacher in
The corps who does not score more
than the required 20 points. Sew
eral 80 as higa, as 40 points. Each
year there is course of study
upon which they talk or write.
For instance, one year it was
school sanitation anc the corps as
q whole read practically every
thing written on the subject.
But no preparation in advance
and no scoring of from 20 to 40
points year in educational or
professional progress Is satisfac-
tory to Missoula and one year in
three each teacher must spend a
summer in a university or normal
school session
Twelve hundred dollars salary
and continuous preparation sup
plemented by one year In three in
special study inevitably give
schools Of highest efficiency"

Engineer Ed. Cummings left on No.
western Canada, where he will spend
two or three weeks visiting with
friends and relatives. The family
left about a week ago and at the con-
clusion of their visit will accompany
Mr.. Cummings home.
Several crews of engineers and
helpers are stationed at various
points over the division, making an
accurate statement of the valua-
ton of the company's holdings. One
crew consisting of about ten men,
is stationed at Dickinson. Govern
ment crews are also engaged in valu-
alton work on all the railroads.
The well drilling crew will be sta
toned near the round house the lat
ter part of the week and will put
down a deep we'll for the company.
The water supply at the Heart river
dam, west Of the city, oftentimes
proves to be inadequate and the COM.
pany hopes to relieve the situation if
Ia good flow of water can be had
from wells in the yards.
Under a new time card put into eff
feet last Monday morning by the
Northern Pacific No. 8, west bound,
arrives in Dickinson at 2:15 and de-
parts at 1925, ten minutes earlier
thana the former schedule. No. 2,
east bound, arrives at 8 p. m. and de-
parts at 3:1O, five minutes later than
formerly, and No. 1, west bound ar
rlves five minutes earlier, the new
schedule giving them five minutes at
the local station-2:13 to 2:18 a. m.
No change is made in the schedule
OF Nos. a, 7 and 8.
According to railroad men, women
are coming into their own. Already
several are working in freight depots,
offices and shops all along the lines of
the big railroads. Now comes news
OF another field of activity. 1t is
said that the wife of every married
operator-agent along the Northern
Pacific is to be instructed in the du-
ties of agents and operators, and the
husbands are to begin giving. such in
structions,. thoroughly schooling their
ject is that should the men be called
upon to take up arms, or to move to
new points to take the place of men

wives will be able to hold their posts.
So if the war continues we may have
lady agents at the smaller stations
along the N. P.
The old railroad song, "Pay Day on
the $780," was applied locally this
week and changed to "Pay Day on
the N. P" Agent Cooper was issuing
checks Wednesday to cover the semi
monthly pay roll to the employees in
all branches of the service here.
Since the N. P. adopted the system of
having the "ghost walk" twice each
month instead of monthly it necessi-
tates a great deal more bookkeeping
in certain departments. Employees
are divided in their opinion of the
new system, some preferring to get
their checks monthly. Some claim
that it nccessitates squaring up their
household expense accounts more
often when it could just as we'll be
done only ono each month, a custom
that seemed to be satisfactory to bust
ness men and employees alike.

Abuse of the dealers automobile
license tag privilege, duplication Of

Dakota under Minnesota license tags
resulted in the conviction of eight
men in district court at Fargo last
week. Fines aggregating $50 were
ing waged by Secretary Of State Hall
the state and the officials say that evi.
dence has been secured which will
lead to hundreds Of arrests in the
cities and towns in the eastern part
of the state. The law says that every
motor vehicle must pay a license fee
and it is unfair to those who pur-
chase a license willingly to have
"slackers" evade the law. The prose-
cution of the violators is sanctioned
by the leading motor~~clubs of the
state.
The Dickinson Automobile club
held an important meeting at the

From the way "bonehead," ivory
top" marble dome and concrete"
have been used in connection with the
ball playing end of the game, the idea
arises that a very false impression has
been scattered around the land con-
corning the average players intelli-
eCnce.
There is hardly a profession in the
universe which has to think as quick
~ or as correctly as the ball player. In
place of being a bonehead the average
player has something more than av-
erage intelligence, as average intelli-
gence is known. He must not only
have II mind and q brain, but he is
taught and trained to use this brain at
a seconds notice. He hasn't an hour
10 make mp his mind what to do. nor
half an hour. nor vet a half minute.
Frequently he hasn't even a second.
He must think in a flash to turn the
proper trick and if he doesn't think in
a flash some one else will beat him
IA it.
