its great need. If there was no
flour or wheat people could not

wheat is going to be five dollars
and -four thirty dollars a barrel.
There are only one hundred and
ninety eight pounds of wheat in a

Presidential Candidates

The election Of president is
the one current topic that inter
ests me. 1t is an interesting topic
because there are so many differ
ent men running as candidate for
president. Some of the candi-
dates are Wood, Pershing, John
son, Hoover, McAdoo and Lowden.
The Literary Digest tells us that
the ones who have the most votes
of the Republicans are Wood,
johnson, Hoover and Lowden and
the man that has the most votes
of the Democrats is McAdoo.
The man l would like to see
for a president is governor Low
den Of Illinois. He would be a
very good man for president be-
cause he has a good head for
business.

many pieces taken out of the big

EDUCATIONAL EFFICIENCY

The Literary Digest gave our

lished table of school efficiency
covering the whole of the U, S,
With Montana occupying first pc.
sition, Washington comes in with
the sixth place from the top-a
record of which every parent,
with child to be trained, can
well be proud.
From the schools of today will
come the leaders of tomorrow, and
the News-Record believes that
next to the home life, the infu-
ence of the school room occupies
first place. We remember what
President Garfield once said
that a plank with Mark Hopkins
on one end, and a pupil on the
other, made a University "
We acknowledge the fact that
we have not been long on the Is
land, and for that reason should
hesitate TO express amy radical
opinions, or advocate any pro-
nounced changes in the old order
of things, lest time might prove
us to "be blind leaders of the
blind-and all fall in the ditch. "
But is ii not also a fact that a
stranger, without financial or sec
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1920-06-10

tional bias, would be more likely
to see things in their true light,
than those whose minds have been
warped by the natural influences
of environment and personal in
terestY
One of the first things which
impressed us was the fact that
Vashon Island has more bathtubs
and fireplaces, and less cellars and
screen doors, than any rural sec
ton we had ever seen. True that
since the thirst Of last July"
cellars are little needed, and war
against the fly and mosquito is
one sided-there being so few
flies and mosquitoes to fight back
Another thing that greatly i'm
pressed us was the opportunity of
making the Vashon-Maury Is
lands one of the greatest commu-
nifty centers in America. Entirely
cut off by salt waters which sur
round us, we should be one great,
united, contented, and happy
family With such a condition
existing, what an influence the
people of the islands could exert
along all lines-in the marts of
trade ! In religious matters in
social and fraternal organiza-
tions And especially in educa-
tional work! A movement is now
on to unite the religious work
and workers of Vashon. Why not
start move to unite the schools
As we see it there are two high
schools on the island-Burton and
Vashon. These two schools are
employing nine teachers. With
one high school, six teachers
could do the work easier than the
nine are now doing it. 1t would
make the classes larger, and
awaken more interest. The present
buildings could be used for re
spective grammar schools and
would not be idle nor vacant
After the plant was erected, il
could be run on a much less gen
eral maintenance expense from
year to year, than is now cost
ing to run the two. There woulc
be saving on fuel, janitor serv
ice, equipment, apparatus, and {
cutting down of the teaching
force by at least one third!
Center, being the center of tn,
islands from a geographical stand
point, would appear to be the logi
cal location for such a union Higl
School. The paved highway would
give free access from the NORTH
end, and with the pavement ex
tended to the south end, the need.
of the south end patrons would BIZ
youchsafed. Such movement
would meet with more or less OPP
position, but when one can think
of the possibilities of these islands
during the coming twenty-five
years, it bewilders us. To star
rightly in building a small EN-
pire here will mean so much a,
time passes. Let us hear from the
ones interested, We will publish
the opinions from both sides.

Potatoes

The current topic that | am in
terested in is potatoes.
Potatoes are very scarce now
but people are raising lots of then
this year. Lots of people are go
ing without them now because
they are so high priced. Next
year they will be much lower il
price, we hope. l am interested
in potatoes because they are q
good food and we could hardly
get along without them. | think
that next year lots of them will
go to rot because there will be
so many of them raised.

The Electric Locomotive

One current topic that interests
me is the Electric Locomotive that
was built in the United States.
1t is very strong and instead of
using coal and wood it uses elec'
tricity. 1t is of great interest
because it is larger than the other
engines, 1t can pull very much
more and it does not cost as much
to run it. 1t is the largest loco
motive in the world. This engine
can go faster, and that is import
ant because many men have bust
ness in all parts of the United
States.
