have a play ground with up-to-date
equipment for the graded schools. In
the high school there are football,
basket ball, baseball and tennis. Our
football team promises great things.
We have won five games, and we are
out for the state championship. If
we win that, we will have done much
to advertise our school and city, and
stimulate interest and proper pride
in our schools.
A thing which has existed for only
a short time and from which the
schools have derived great benefit, is
the Parent-Teacher association. The
object of this club is to combine the
the interest of the parent and the
teacher in the pupil. When this asso-

PULLMAN SCHOOL SITUATION
A MANY SIDED PROBLEM

ton. III a central grade school is the
plan to be followed, Judge Neill sug-
gested that it be so constructed that
it may be converted into a high
school when the city is large
enough to maintain ward schools.
He raised the point that in case the
central grade school is constructed
it might be the best policy to provide
a commodious auditorium and gym
nasium, as a sort of community CEN
ter, and asked discussion on this
point.
Professor Herbert Kimbrough sug-
gested that the auditorium be made
large enough to accommodate the
atrical troupes, calling attention to
the desirability Of having a place for
the presentation of the better type
of stage attractions.
M. X. Snyder threw a bomb into
the proposed plan for the construc-
ton of central grade school on Mai
den Lane and the use of Reaney
park for play ground when he
pointed out that the park is but
three feet above the level of the
creek and would be unfit for use as
playground, because of flooding,
during large part of the school
year. The point was we'll taken and
the concensus of opinion was that
the location Of the park would make
1t undesirable for use as a school
playground. Professor H. V. Car
penter endorsed the viewpoint of
Mr.. Snyder and also called attention
to the fact that there is no prospect
for paving in the Reaney park dis
trict and that approach to the pro-
posed building from that side would
be difficult during the winter
months.
The Rev. H. ]. Reynolds dropped d
hint that may bear fruit when he
suggested that the proposed new
school building, wherever located, be
made memorial building, a fitting
tribute to the young men of the com
munity who rendered heroic services
during the world war.
Then ensued a lengthy talkfest,
more or less in the nature Of guess
ing match, as to the future develop
ment of Pullman, the discussion cen
tering about the location Of the pro-
posed new building at a point that
would remain as nearly as possible

WORK PROGRESSES ON
GIRLS DORMITORIEs

Work is progressing rapidly on the
two new girls dormitories for the
State College. r. C. McCroskey hall,
on the campus, is being financed by
state appropriation and the other is
being paid for by the citizens of the
community. 1t is proposed by the
college authorities to have all fresh
men girls entering the college this
fall 1--we in these halls. This will
eliminate the necessity of housing
the firls off the campus which has
heretofore been a serious problem.
Sophomore girls will have the oppor-
tunity of residing in these halls if
they are not filled by the freshmen.

Discussion at Chamber of Commerce
Brings Out Many Suggestions of
Value to Board i'm Shaping
Future Course

Pullman school problem is big
one, a question with many sides, and
its solution by the school board will
require mature deliberation and in
Yestigation, as well as the counsel
and suggestions of the school pa
trans and other citizens. That this
is the case was brought out at the
full discussion of the school situa-
ton at the chamber OF commerce
meeting Tuesday. The question had
been made the subject for special
order of business and the discussion
was participated in by many citizens
who offered valuable suggestions for
consideration by the board of direct
ors.
The discussion was opened by
Judge Thomas Neill, chairman of the
school board, who stated that the
big problem is to build an adequate
school system with the future in
view, and that the immediate de.
mand is to arrange for the construc
ton as soon as possible either of a
central grade school or a unit OF
any other system that might be
adopted. The school board, he said
desires to arrange it's building pro
gram in anticipation of a city OF
5000 or 10000 people, and to carry
out this program in such a way that
none of the money expended in the
early stages will be thrown away
when the complete plan is realized
AS tentative plan he suggested the
purchase of two lots on Maiden Lane,
opposite the J. N. Scott property, and
the construction of a large central
building to take care of the grade
students from all hills, continuing
the use of the present high school
building for it's original purpose and
converting the Main building into d
junior high school.
The school question is a problem
of vital Importance to the people OF
the city, and the school board chair
man urged that every school patron,
every citizen, give the question
thought and then give the school
board the benefit of that delibera-

SOME CROPS BUMPER,
OTHERS NOT AVERAGE
Cultivated Crops Indicate Big Yield,
Wheat Nearly Average, Says
College Expert

The 1920 harvest season will re-
turn bumper yield of all cultivated
crops, including corn, potatoes and
garden truck, as well as bearing
fruits, alfalfa and grass crops gen.
orally, according to E. T. Gaines of
the farm crops division of the State
College, who has made a close study
of the situation in this district.
Present prospects indicate a wheat
yield of at least 80 per cent of the
average, with possibility of improve
ment between now and harvest.
Winter wheat was damaged to a con-
siderable extent by late winter freeZ-
ing, while the late spring and de-
layed sowing proved a handicap to
spring wheat. The highly favorable
growing weather of the present
month and the abundance of moist
ure, however, has practically over
come this handicap, and, according
to the deductions of the expert, the
crop will approach an average yield.
The rainfall for the first 81 days of
June, including Monday night S
downpour, has totaled 1.66 inches,
or considerably above the average
for the past 27 years. This, to-
gether with the admirable growing
weather, has marked the present
month as one of the best crop
months in the history of Whitman
county.
Wheat in the state at large is
some 100000 acres short of last
years acreage, this condition being
due to the increased seedlings of al
falfa, forage crops and corn and the
larger acreage of summer fallow.
During the war period practically all
of the farmers crowded their crops,
planting almost every available acre,
but now are back to the old system
of summer following.
