STUDENTS LIVES FOR SIX
DAYS IN AIR-TIGHT BOX

CAMBRIDGE, Eng, May Joseph
Bancroft, a reader of physiology at
Kings College here, has lived for six
days in a hermetically sealed glass
box.
The experiment arose out of a
30-year-old controversy as to whether
it is possible to calculate the amount
of oxygen in the blood from a knowl,
edge of the amount of oxygen in the
breath. The test was also made to
demonstrate whether it was necessary
that airmen should have oxygen ap-
paratus when flying at great heights.
1t proved that oxygen was necessary
to flying men but il did not show to
what height they could fly with safety,
While in the box Bancroft kept a
record of his sensations and made
scientific observations. He said he
suffered from sleeplessness but other
wise did not experience much incon-
Venience except on the last day when
the atmosphere became extremely
rarified. He then had headaches and
nausea. He was watched continually
while in the box. He took food and
slept in two small compartments fitted
up with wicker chairs, a table, a
small bed and a bicycle on which he
exercised every morning.

Such is the statement contained in
a letter written to Congressman S.

ent of schools in the southern state.
Congressman Fess read the letter be-
fore the House of Representatives re-
Gently in an appeal for government
aid to relieve the present deplorable
situation in the educational system in
America.

ers and have in our schools 1000 9th
ers who ought not to be there, breads
the letter." We have had to take
these or let the children 20 without
instruction. The outlook for the flu
ture is worse. Many of u best
teachers are making arrangements to
quit the work; we have succeeded in
starving them out"
Concluding his address Congress-
man Tess quoted from the bulletin of
the National Education association
which stated that 100000 public school
teachers in the country, or SO percent

One hundred thousand others have

Vaughan |MacCaughey, superintendent
of public instruction, who says that
although appointments have finally
been made for a sufficient number of
educators to open the schools for the

to be no means for bringing them here

Our Mothers

truth that it is never u tenderness
we repent of but our severity.
Fifteen summers and fifteen winters
have passed over a little mound in a
northwestern Missouri cemetery, MAX
ing it green with grass and bleak
with snow in season, the bright May
morning when the silver cord was
loosed. Dust has long since returned
TO dust and the spirit to God who gave
it. And yet how wildly does memory
rcCreate the image of that sweet
mother face tonight. Many are the
lights and shadows that have crossed
the pathway since then but time has
eve failed to erase that image.
Then, too, VT must forget that there
is no compensation for the love and
sacrifice of a true mother like the
effort of a son or daughter to live up
the ideals that mother has dreamed
for them. When Mary the mother of
Jesus realized that her son possessed
the qualities of true greatness she
cherished his mysterious sayings in
her heart.
God granted unto Hannah the son
of her prayers and she gave birth in
joy to the promised one. But that
son who was more than life to her
she took up to the temple and gave
to God forever.
The true mother, though she says
goOd-by with aching heart to the son
who is mastered by a high purpose
to launch out and away into a new
land at the call of service; is filled
with an un~speakable joy; for it is thus
he best glorifies the one who gave him
birth and gives to her the sweet and
fragrant flowers, which alone can
justify her sacrifice and love.

CITY FATHERS IN DOUBT
ABOUT SPECIAL BUDGET

Pcndleton's financial needs for the
coming year. with the exception of the
fire department, are thought not suf-
ficiently urgent to require a special
election. the city council decided last
evening in a special session called to
consider the 1921 budget. The city
fathers hesitate to call special cleo
ton for q budget purely on the needs
of the one department.
While the needs of other city de-
partnients were not ascertained accu-,
rateiy. owing to the absence of City
Recorder Thomas Fitz Gerald, 1t is
believed that they will not be such as
to require a special election. Under
the law, expenses may increase not
over 6 per cent annually. A special
election is needed to exceed this am
ount.
The need of more fire equipment |
has been recognized for some time |
and as soon as possible. arrangements
will be made for new materials. 1t is
that as soon as Pendleton |
adds necessary apparatus, the state 1
-ating bureau will make a new survey n
u Pendleton buildings, with view to
rates. The budget discus
zion will be resumed at the regular
meeting tomorrow.
