THE MILEAGE TAN.

In May the voters Of Oregon will
determine whether or not the insti-
tutions of higher learning in the
state are to maintain their present
standards. or are TO deterioratc to
schools of the second class. That in
substance is the question which will
be solved by the vote on the mileage
tax.
II * 10 the shame ana discrcdit Of
the public that II permitted It's teach
ers to continue In their present econ
omic condition Right now the
teachers of the schools and univerH-
ties are paid less than unskilled
labor receives for its contribution to
society. There need be no inyidlous
comparisons made us to the potential
worth OF the work that each does,
and still the argument is well taken
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1920-02-12

that the teachers are entitled to
higher salaries.
The startling statement is made
by the United States Commissioner
of Education, p. p Claxton. that half
of the teachers in the schools of
America today are under par. That
means then that half of the pupils Of
America are receiving less than an
average standard of instruction.
Certainly that is a CALLING admis-
sion to make for the American peo-
pie whose very government is found
cd on the education derived IN the
common schools.
What Is true of the country as a
whole will undoubtedly he true of
Oregon, in the near future, unless
measures are taken to recognize the
plea made for better remuneration
for the teachers. Oregon Is not q
backwoods state, II is progressive
commonwealth. and as such II Ger.
tainly will not be deaf to the com
mon sense plea for better treatment
for its teachers.

gram of sprays required for the con-

Many growers will take up system
attic spraying this year who have paid
little attention to this in the past.
They realize that success in CONNER
cial fruit growing requiress the COM
batting of many orchard enemies,
and experience has shown that sue
cessful prevention or control requires
knowledge of the right time to
spray. Spray put on at any old time
when the grower gets ready is usual

But this condition could not longer
be endured and in 1918 the people
took the matter into their own
hands. voted to extend the credit Of

TEN Is monument to the foresight

II Is to the credit of the present

that have been made of the purity of

that the water Is now absolutely
pure. II could not be otherwise for

While we are changing the names
Of Ontario's streets, why not go all
the way and rechristcn the city from
top to bottom?
There is something in the contcn-
tion that names OF places. noun.

logical connection with Gre aur.orld-
ings; should be indigenous OF the
country In which they are located
Speaking about names therefore,
Ontario is out of place In the Snake
River valley for II ~ Canadian
name and its only connection In the
United States is in connection with
the geologic division OF Silurean
strata found In the Ohio River basin,
or still more exactly located In
lower Canada, In the Province Of
Ontario. from which the geologic
structure takes It's name
Therefore II appears that the name
Ontario Is entirely incpt for It's con
ncction with dead fossils of the pale
ozoic or other prehistoric time In the

the active life OF the people OF the

CHARLES TOWN ON THE sHEN
ANDOAH,

Standing over the graves of my
dead brothers, Richard Charming and
Robert William, Jr., in Zion Episco-
pal Church Yard. Richard killed at
battle of the Wilderness November
80, 1868. Robert William killed at
Charles Town November 80, 1864.
Oh, stranger tread lightly It's holy
ground here,
In deaths cold embrace, heroes
sleep there
On the red field of battle, my brave
brothers died,
And their last smile | caught as
knelt by their sides.
Yes, Yes, their lips wore smile and
they feared not to die.
And their ears caught the cry as
it rose to the sky.
The victory is ours their brave com
rades cried,
Thank God and Dulcet decorum
pro patria mort, said these
brothers and smiling they died.
With sad, solemn step we marched to
their graves,
And over my brave brothers the
flag with thirteen stars we did
wave.
Yes, slowly and solemnly we waved
a farewell
Although their spirits in Heavenly
realm did dwell
And the hearts of their comrades did
send forth prayer.
May God help his widow the sad
blow to bear,
May He teach their mother whose
heart is grieved
That she no longer their fond kisses
receive.
Then stranger, tread lightly, It's holy
ground here.
In deaths cold embrace my
brothers sleep there.
'Tis the grave of heroes meath the
grass covered sod
Their spirits are in heaven at home
with their God.

CHARLES TOWN GAS COMPANY
GRANTED SO PER CENT IN
CREASE IN RATES.

The petetion of the Charles Town
Gas Company for an increase in rates
has been granted by the West Vir-
glnia Public Service Commission.
All rates for gas except to pre-
payment meters will be advanced
from and after the meter reading in
November, and those for prepay
ment meters from December Is.
The new rates will continue in force
till June l, 1921, at which time the
Gas Company will be required to file
statement with the Commission.
showing in detail the operating ex-
pense and the operating revenue for
the period from December Is, to
June 1. Along with the statement
the company must also show the
current price of gas oil, generator
and boiler fuel as of June l, 1921.
The new rate is $500 for the first
thousand cubic feet. A discount is
allowed from this maximum in pro-
portion to the volume consumed.
For prompt payment of bills, dis
count of ten cents thousand feet
will be allowed, except on the first
thousand which is to be $500 net.
All prepayment meters will be set to
register gas at $500 per 1000 cubic
feet.
Under the old rates, $500 was
charged for the first thousand feet,
with a discount of ten cents a
thousand for each additional thous-
and used. One thousand feet cost
under the old rate $1.10 a thousand
net, and under the increased rate
the same consumption will cost $2.10
thousand. 1t will be seen that the
rates for small consumers have been
advanced SO per cent; and for large
consumers, they have been practically
doubled.

SCHOOL CHILDREN NAL
NOURISHED.

have been very much hurried in
the last ten days, to have ready in
dividual records of physical condi-
ton and general nutrition las ascer-
tanned by weighing and measuring
for the 600 school children, who were
examined by the Mental Hygiene
Unit in this county, and although my
work is not yet finished, | thought
you might care to hear some of the
findings to date.
OF the $50 or more children ex-
amined in Charles Town school, 43
have been found to be definately
malnourished. This is a very con-
sentative figure, since it designates
only those who are 10 per cent or
more below normal weight, accord
ing to standards for height and age.
Unfortunately this condition is not
usually recognized, and so the child
goes on with lowered resistance to
disease and is generally handicap
ed for both physical and mental de-
velopment.
Poverty is not alone responsible.
Ignorance and lack of parental con-
troll are quite as common causes.
We hope to call attention of par
ents and guardians to their part in
giving their children an opportunity
to be as healthy as present knowledge
can make them.
Proper feeding is one of the chief
factors, but is does not stand alone.
