Pete Van Dyk was arrested last
week by a state official for running
his automobile with only one license
number displayed. 1t is positively
dangerous to drive a car without a
full set of numbers, and The Gimlet
is glad to note the activity on the
part of the state officials to enforce
the statute. The laws of Washing
ton permit a man to drive a car with
two or three wheels missing, but it
specifically states that all the license
numbers must be in place.

MORE BOYS BORN
IN WAR TIMES

LONDON. May 1.-The theory that
more boy babies than girls are born
in war time is supported by the an
nual report of the registrar general
for England and Wales. During the
first quarter of the war the proper
ton rose to 1,043 boys TO 1000 girls
and the succeeding quarter was 1.O44.
For the four quarters of 1915 it rose
to 1850, 1851, 1,045 and 1850 All
these figures. says the report, are
considerably above any recorded dur
ing the preceding fifty years, and are
within measurable distance of the
general European ratio, which for
many years has been considerably in
excess of the British.
The marriage rate was the highest
on record; the birth rate was the low
est on record: the death rate from
typhoid fever was the lowest on rec
ord; that from influenza the highest
since 1900. and that from measles
the highest since 1896. The aver.
age ages of both men and women
marrying were the highest on record;
that of men was 27.3 years: women,
25.5. The infant mortality rate was
the lowest on record.
A rise in mortality among the aged
of both sexes is noted. 1t is fea-
ture that has appeared in the statis-
tics of other belligerent countries and
is regarded as a reflex of the unusual
stress and anxiety OF the time.

Various reports received in Sah Francisco from Australia by loca' sporting men are to the effect that since the United States entered into the world war the American pu. gilists who have been boxing in the Antipodes are not as popular as they were before this event. According to these accounts, boxers like Jimmy Clabby and others are being looked upon more or less in the same light in which the late Les Darcy was con sidered over here. Darcy was off cially designated as a stacker by the governor of New York state, and largely for this reason, other com munities fell in line and refused to permit the Australian to appear in any matches. It generally is believed here that the American pugilists will, from now on, meet with a cold reception. and that their money making days in Australia are over as long as the war lasts.

In order toa balance the league the fur ther suggestion is made that Tacoma team be acquired by Sacramento, thus making an eight team league for the remainder of the season. He then adds:
 There would be no need of stop ping the Coast league race and start ing over. Give the two new teams a percentage of 300 to start with and rearrange the schedule to suit the owners"

CITY TEACHERS
ARE INSTRUCTED
First Sessions of Institute
Held in Technical High
School

Discounting much of the theore-
tical in teaching and giving demon
strations by charts and scales of
how better and more efficient meth
ods may be used, DIR. S. A. Courts
and superintendent Howard G.
Burdge, instructed the 800 teachers
of the city schools at the first ses-
sion of the twenty-second annual in
stitute held last evening and this
morning. The meetings were held
in the auditorium of the Technical
High school instead of the Central
auditorium, where the sessions have
been held for a number of years.
Superintendent Burdge is at the
head of the schools of Wellsville,
n. Y, and is associated with the bu-
reau of municipal research of New
York City. His themes dealt. with
the use and Interpretation of 'stan-
dardized tests.
DR.. Courts is supervisor of edu-
cational research of the Detroit pub
lie schools and illustrated his talks
with slides showing the practical
work in research that has been done
in large cities all over the United
States. In addressing the teachers on
the subject, Improving the Eff
cheney of Teaching in Arithmetic y
the speaker said; We take chill
dren into ;he public schools from
every class and treat them all alike.
We do not pay enough attention to
their inner organizations as well as
their mental capacity. Until we take
care of the differences in children
we shall not have efficiency Many
of you teachers have tried music or
art and have found that you would
be successful along these lines. 1t is
an educational crime in a class
where he is destined to fall. Each
school must put a task before the
pupil that he can reach. 1 believe
in 100 per cent. promotions" was
what he spoke in part to the teach
ers.
Superintendent f. E. Downes an
nounced the lectures for the re-
mainder of the course as follows: NO
vember and 3, Reuben Post Hal
leCk. Louisville, KY. and DIR. q. NJ.
Whipple, of the University of Illinois.
These speakers appeared before the
institute on the same day last year,
and were considered to be the best
pair of lecturers in the course last
year.
December Z and s, Sarah Louise
Arnold, of Boston, and Dr.. Frank p.
Graves, of the University of Penn
sylvanla will be the speakers. jan
uary 2S, Randall ]. Condor, super
intendent of the school of Cincin-

faculty of Columbia University Will
speak. At the final session, j. H.
Francis. superintendent of the
schools of Columbus, Ohio, and DR..
G.. S. Strayer, of Columbia University
will address the teachers. In order
to give the teachers higher priced
speakers at the institutes, there will
be no evening source of entertain
ments as in past years.

Many students of Central High. are
disappointed in not being able to take
the course they desire, The com

forced to elect another one in its
place and wait until next year to be-

work of any kind, commercial, cleri-
cal. private work in homes, see her

Up to the present time there has
been much congestion in the halls
between sessions due to the after
noon pupils entering the building be-
fore the morning pupils leave. In
