ITO PLANT TREES ON
 COMMENCEMENT DAY

WASHINGTON, April 12 (by Asso- ciated Press ) ).-Commencement day at many colleges will have for part of the program this year the planting of memorial trees in honor of former students who gave their lives or of fered their lives to their country in the world war. Arbor day will be more widely marked this year than ever before because of memorial tree planting.
 In Atlanta memorial group plan is being worked out at "Pershing point where memorial trees will be planted. Minneapolis will have Memorial drive" three miles long, which will be part of park system forty miles long. At St. Louis beautiful Lindell boule. yard is to be planted with memorial trees. Camp Bowie, in Texas, will be marked with memorial boulevard planted with memorial trees. There will be much planting of trees by schools, communities, women's clubs and motor highway associations to honor those who died in the war, says the American Forestry Association.

FISHING FLEET
 FOR WESTWARD MOBILIZlNC

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12 (by As sociated Press) .-Thirty-on vessels of the Alaska Packing Company are to mobilize" at Bristol Bay, Alaska, during April and May, for what the company expects to be record catch. The company's salmon pack in 1918 was 100000 cases.
 The navy" of the Alaska Packers calls for total personnel of 5,0O0 fishermen and seamen. They will sweep the Alaska waters for five months and then will bring the pack to San Francisco for marketing in all parts of the civilized world.
 The great fleet will be minus one vessel which accompanied it last year, the Star of Poland, which was wrecked off the Japanese coast while operat- ing for the United States Shipping Board. Two other vessels of the fleet, the Star of Lapland and the Star of Zealand, are said by officials of the company to be the two biggest steel fishing vessels afioat All of the ves- sells are sail-propelled.
 The vessels will clear from here on different dates during April and all will report to the common Bristol Bay anchorage before beginning the five months season.

HAWAII NOT AFFECTEDBY
 PROHIBITION

HONOLULU, April 12 (by Associ- ated Press) Nationwide prohibition will bring no new problems to Hawai-, for the entire territory has been "bone dry" by act of congress since mid night of August 20, 1918. Conditions have already been fully readjusted to meet the new regime and the liquor business in the islands has been en- tirely liquidated. .....
 On this island, Oahu, the United States army maintains one of the largest garrisons, and Oahu was made dry by Presidential proclamation, as war measure, on April 10, 1918. The act of congress bringing prohibition to the entire territory provides for pie biscite on the question at any regular election Hopes of the anti-prohibi- tionists that Hawaii would vote liquor back were blasted by ratification Of the prohibition amendment to the fed eral constitutions.
 The liquor trade in Hawaii dated back to the arrival of the first traders and whalers, who began to visit the islands early in the last century, fol- lowing close upon the discovery of the group by Captain Cook in 1778, and 1t was firmly entrenched when the first missionaries arrived from Boston in 1902
 Hawaii had it's first experience With prohibition over eighty years ago, when King Kamehameha III, in 1888, issued a decree forbidding the impor- tation of any liquor except light wines. What effect, if any, this edict had IS not recorded in history, but it appar- ently soon became dead law.
 When Honolulu and the island of Oahu became dry year ago by Presl- dential proclamation, one brewery and forty liquor selling establishments saloons, wholesale houses and hotel and club bars-were closed and ap' proximately 300 men lost their posi- lions. Readjustment was rapid, how ever, and the commercial life Of the city scarcely felt the change.

Overland Model 90 Travels Seven Bays and Nights Without Stepping
 Motor COVERED 4,370.1 MILES Gear Was Sealed in High, Making Hardest Possible Test on All Cars Work
 ing Parts.

Remarkable automobile perform ance. are not as frequent these days as they were four or five sea sons ago; the American automobile manufacturer has attained 90 very high a standard of product. That may explain why so much unusual attention has been attracted dur ing the last few days to a new worlds performance record made by an Overland stock car, Model 90.
 New from the factory, this Model 90 was taken from the salesrooms of the Carhalt Motor Company at Oklahoma City, Okla. on March 29th, and driven to the lobby ei the Lee-Huckins Hotel. There tie gear shift lever was disconnected from the low. middle and revefze gears. and the gear-box was seal ed in high. Tn, motor was start ed the car left the hotel and did not return for seven days; ;aat was April 9th.
 The Overland 90, driven by q re- lay of four drivers, ran night and day the motor never stopping tor I68 continuous hours. The drivers had no advantage of gear shifting during the two days of rain on muddy roads and the twelve to if teen hours ther spent each 24 hour day on good ana bad city pavements. in the rush of traffic, and on the Oklahoma roads. It has been said that if a motor car will stand up on an Oklahoma road, it will endure in any other section of the world.
 In these seven days and nights, during which the gear could not be shifted from high, nor the motor stopped for carburetor adjustment or spark plug change, the Model 90 broke the worlds record for test of this kind. The speedometer, care fully checked, showed that it had travelled 4,370.1 miles. That is prac- tically one-sixth around the world, or a distance equal to trip from New York to Los Angeles and back across the southern trial to Oklaho- ma City.
 This remarkable nonstop perfor- nance in high gear exceeded the next best record ever made by 129.1 miles.
 Another unusual record wa. at tained by the four drivers of this Oklahoma car. The A. A. A. record for 24-hour nonstop, gear-sealed- in-high run is 587 miles. That mile age was made in Chicago, several

makes of cars competing. Or only ore day of it run did the Overland fail to exceed the official A. 4. A. record. That was the third day an afternoon and night of rain with muddy going under the axles. The car then fell eight miles under the mark, but it's performance was so unusually high that it averaged 624.3 miles for each day of the 168 hour run.
 The motorist is interested in tests of this kind only as they point him to some feature of economy in oper- ation and upkeep. The test made by F.. R. Carhart, Overland distributor in Oklahoma, appears to be replete with such features. The judges of the contest were the president of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and the managing editors of the two leading daily newspapers. Examination of their records of the Model 90's record-breaking trip show:

content to undertake a transconti- tental trip if he thought it would cause no more tire trouble than that?
 Four controls were established for change of drivers and retilllng with gasoline and oil. The captain of the driving team was Linn Math- ewson, well known in the east and middle west as a famous racing driver on the speedway tracks. He is now the retail manager for the Carhart Motor Company at Okla homa City.
 The Oklahoma public was advised in advance of the test. The daily newspapers bulletined the progress of the run each day. In addition to that publicity, Mir. Carhart ar ranged to flash on the motion pie ture screens of the city, the cars mileage every four hours. The run was officially started by F. W.. A. Vesper, the president of the Ma tional Automobile Dealers Associa- tion.
 This amazing demonstration of the economy possibilities of the Lightweight American car of hlgh- grade manufacture is already re- flected in an increasing inquiry in this and adjoining territories for motor cars It is estimated that there will be an appreciable short age of motor cars this ycar-tAe first free season after the restrlc- tions of the war-munitions produc- tion. The local dealer for the over land points out that while this run has produced a very great many inqui- ries for the Model %, conceded to be one of the most successful oi American automobiles, the produc,, ton of these cars has been limited this year by the parent company n Toledo.

Criticisms of the Average
Country School

his life. If there be conflict of in.
terests. which seems absurd, there Is
but one course for the true teacher
and that Is to advocate and defend
whatever is for the best interest OF
the school children. What could be
the mental caliber or moral consisten-
cy Of a man then, who would consid
er my position in matter OF mutual
concern to be subject for distrusl
and even unfriendlincss?
II should not he a misfortune foi
boy or girl to live in the country
It ought to be a privilege But school
conditions in the country at present
are such as TO render impossible an
equal opportunity for country chill
dren and fair chance for them to
learn and to develop into the cultured
efficient men and women they have
right to be. Such an unfair situa-
ton wherever possible should be cor
rected. The country children are as
good, as worthy, and are MS capable
of receiving culture and training as
are those of the town or city. Give
them a chance. If this cannot be
done, II is unfortunate that n child
should be reared in the country.
In this and two adjoining districts
there are more than a hundred boys
and girls. They are average coun-
try children, strong, capable, ambi-
tious. But they are laboring under
serious handicaps. They are not to
blame for their slow and uncertain
progress. The schools are responsi-
Bile. for they are inefficient. The
schools are over crowded with grades
and the time devoted to each grade
is not sufficient The classes are
small, the class spirit is weak, much
enthusiasm is lacking and interest is
below normal. The result, while sat
isfying possibly majority Of the pa
irons, is discouraging to the older pu-
pill and disastrous to his further intel
lectual progress.
In these two-teacher schools they
attempt to teach eight or ten grades
Allowing six recitations per day FOR
the first seven grades and four per
day for the higher grades, in school
having nine grades there would be
about forty-eight recitations per day
or about twenty-four Rotations per
teacher. In the average school day
there are about 800 minutes for in
struction, and the average time de-
voted to each recitation would be

To the Avalanche:
It Is my purpose to present an I'M
partial criticism Of the average coun-
try schools, and to offer few sug-
gestions for their Improvement.
These statements apply to condi-
tions in general, but especially are
they applicable to the conditions ex-
isting in the Shallowater and ada
cent school districts. Some faults
found may be disputed and some re
forms advocated may excite opposi-
ton. but | believe NY position TO be
tenable and shall therefore proceed
with confidence.
Being teacher, may evoke the
adverse criticism of those who may
think a teacher should be content to
teach and to draw his salary as per
contract. Some may think the teach
er's field of activity should be re-
stricted to the schoolroom, that he
should never register an opinion con-
cerning matters upon which the
people of his district might disagree
But there Is broader view of a
teachers office in a community, and
a higher conception of his duties and
his responsibilities in promoting the
educational welfare Of the children
of the community, the future citizens
Of the State.
Opportunities for doing good
should incite US to action. Perhaps
for the sake Of harmony among men,
| should stand by and allow oppor-
tunities for doing good to come and
90 without urging that something be
done. When opportunities come to
provide better schools, so that boys
and girls in school will waste less
time and effort trying to learn would
hesitancy on my part to call your at
tention to the opportunity be excus-
able? When opportunities come TO
make the country schools more at
tractive, so that boys and girls out of
school will feel again that natural de-
sire to enter school and to learn what
they will always need to know, would
silence and insction on mY part be
justifiable?
am cognizant Of the fact that
a teacher owes much to the patrons
and trustees for their cooperation
and for their support Of the schools.
But teacher owes a great deal more
to the school children to whose vel
fare he is devoting the best years OF

was far from being sufficient Con
ditions in pioneer days justified such
poorly taught. poorly equipped
schools. But the world has made ra-
pid progress in various lines, and con-
ditions here have changed But the
country schools are laggards in the
movement. They have not kept up.
II the country school is to do it,
part in promoting the education and
civilization Of the world il must be re-
organized and centralized, and the
work systematized and standardized.
Some men will object to this progress
sive movement But opposition to
progress is to be found everywhere,
sometimes because Of prejudice. but
more often il is due TO the fact that
well meaning people fail to see that
a change is desirable or practicable.
An increase in the efficiency and
consequent value Of our country
schools. Is both desirable and practi-
cable. 1t will come about just as soon
as enough people realize the impo-
tency Of the present schools to pro-
duce satisfactory results, and set
about devising ways and means Of inn
proving them.
The conditions mentioned and the
few reasons given are not overdrawn
They are generally applicable to all
sections Of the State. Teh schools OF
Hardy, Crovesville and Shallowater
should be improved and their eff
cheney increased. They should be
centralized and recognized. and their
scope Of usefulness enlarged and
their course Of study reformed to suit
the pupils requirements. IL would
