the Republican majority, they will
change their, present attitude and

Personnel Of Committee
OF Music Teachers Filled

Superintendent ]. A. Churchill has ap-
pointed Mrs. Jean p. McCraeken as a
member of the committee of music
teachers who will pass upon the ereden-
tials of teachers who wish to have the
work of their pupils accredited in tho
high schools of the state. The other
members of the committee are DIR. John
Landsbury, chairman, and Frederick
Goodrich.
1t should be understood that high
school pupils who have completed the
required musical work outside Of school
are allowed three credits on the stipu-
lated number for graduation. The re-
quirements that pupil shall take not
less than go minutes of musical instruc
tion each week and put in not less than
seven and one-half hours of practice
Or half a credit will be allowed for half
this amount Of work. The music les
sons must be taken during the entire
semester for which the credit is desired
Any teacher who wishes her work ac-
credited must send her credentials to
the superintendent Of public instruction
who turns them over to the committee,
and if they are found satisfactory, a
certificate is issued by the superin
tendent. Music teachers, to have their
standing recognized by the committee,
must be graduates of some standard con
servatory, or have had five years Of

data for use by the conferenee-recog-
nized students of economies, foreign
policies and territorial relationships.
Their complaint is that the information
so gathered has not been used, or even
referred to They came to Paris pIu-
pared to present information supporting
every idea and principle for which
AmerieG entered the war. They say
they found at the end Of several months
negotiations that their information was
disregarded and that representatives Of
no other nation came to the conference
in the same spirit, coming instead to
barter or trade. One such member ex-
pressed his view Of the situation in this
way:
Inquiry Is Rumored.
"The treaty is a regular rivers and
harbor bill. President Wilson found
himself involved in a trading game in
order to get the league of nations
through. I hope the world will find he
hasn't paid too great a price"
Among these experts there is talk Of
a congressional inquiry into the way
the treaty was made, though none says
that he himself will demand such an in
quiry. They seem to take it for grant
ed that congress will conduct such
probe.

Monmouth Schools Reopen
Following Flu Epidemic

Capital Journal Special Serviee.)
Monmouth, Or, May 2l.-Monmouth
schools opened again Monday morning
with only fair attendance. There is
a feeling on the part of parents and
teachers that on account of the several
interruptions in the school work due to
Influenza, it would be better for chill
dren in the grades, at least, to take the
same work over again next year as it
has not been possible to complete the
regular work satisfactorily. Teachers
are in their places, however, and stu
dents will be given chance to achieve
their promotion.
During the remaining three weeks the
years work will be reviewed anu ey-
eryone will be required to take examina-
tions, although the time lost will not be
made up.
