A Thank-offering of $7.86 has been
collected by the school children to
be turned over to the Orphans
Home at Lewiston.
The ability to read rapidly and
with understanding has probably
never been of greater advantage to
its possessor than it is today. Our
grandtathers grained but little of
their knowledge thru the printed
page. They were educated in the
school of Hard Knocks For the
most part, what they did not learn
by experience they were told by
those who had. They did not read
much. because they had little to
read, each family had few books,
newspapers were scarce and our
modern magazines were completely
unknown to the vast majority. Now
however, when practically every
home is provided with several good
books, and local library contain
ing several hundred volumes of the
worlds best literature is easily
available; wnen every home takes
one or more daily papers and sever
al weekly and monthly journals;
when it is almost impossible tor
one to keep posted on the reading
matter in any one field, to say moth
ing of the bigger and more general
phases of vast number OF other I'M
porlant fields; at this time. say,
one begins to realize the advantage
of being able to read rapidly with
comprehension.
Leading educators throughout the
United States have for some time
realized the lmportanc of rapiC
reading and very briet studies have
demonstrated that reading is mos
rapid when dore silently. Silent
reading too, 1t has been found, car
be improved to much greater ex
tent than oral reading. Since ora
! reading is practically never used by
the average Individual, and sine
silent reading is necessary Dozen
of times each day, we are beginning
IN our school curriculum to pu
more emphasis on silent reading.
Ability in silent reading Is easil
determInd by certain Educa tiona
Tests which have been devised TO
that purpose. The most importan
of these tests are Monroe's Standar
Silent Reading Test (given in tn
: local school during the month) an
o CurtIs's Silent Reading Test. Ihes
;. tests consist of a number of shor
e reading exercises printed on shee
e of paper. These sheets are distrIu
s. ed to the children in room, eac
e student having one sheet, the II
;. structions are read, and the cnlldre
Q are given exactly 5 minutes
,. which to complete the exercise
h Their rate is thus measured by tt
It number of words read IN the NIL
@ utes and their comprehension by til
st way IN which they have answere
o the questions in the exercises rea
If Ihe results of the Silent Readir
r test recently given show that OF
school Is not tar below the standal
set ny the author OF the test, no,
Y, ever, we should be above, and ;
e, effort is being made to put evel
n student above the standard. The c
y operation cf the parents is asked f
I'd in this and we especially urge Il
ID parents to visit the scnool and S
~ wnat their children are doing. Sc
Mt eral parents have already been /
u terested IN seeing the results of Il
: 20 tests and We hope more will cor

Wheat.

Wheat-Trade was snal but the
market maintained strong tone and
advance to u premium Of more than
two cents over last n ght's close.
contributing factor was the strength
shown in Liverpool, where prices were
ava higher over night, showing an
improved situation abroad.
Exporters report some gulf wheat
sold to Holland, the first in some time,
otherwise. the export demand was
iaulet although the cables intimated
that more interest was being shown
land IL was ALL said that the Italian
government Is expected IN the market
next week. All cash markets were
strong and higher. II now seems quite
certain that the big movement ol
wheat is at an end the period OF ae
,cumulations are behind rs
While the situation Is indicative Of
la definite turn In tho market towards
a higher level Of prices It is logical t.
assume that the advance Of the pas
few days will attract sufficient prof
taking to bring about q moderate set
back.

Politicians here are watching the "oft-

the members of the county court be-
cause they have been collecting mile
age for the trips they have taken on
road inspections, the trips are made in
the county car which is driven by
Roadmaster L. ]. Shannon, and each
member of the court and the road
master collect mileage of seven and
one-half cents 4 mile. The county
furnishes the gas and oil. according TO
the statement of members of the court.
When asked what mileage is collect
ed by the court, Judge |. NJ. Schannep
and Commissioner q. l.. Dunning de-
clared this morning that they each
collect 10 cents y mile but that col
lectively they turn back TO the county
10 cents q mile for the use of the car.

make inspection trips, and reduction

pROGRE CLUB OPPOSES USE Of STATE
FUNDSON WALLULA ROAD WHILE HIGHWAYS
NEEDED By OREGON ARE LEFT UNCARED FOR

Action in vigorous opposition to the
building of the so called Wallula cut
off was taken today by the Progressive
Business Club at the regular weekly
luncheon of that organization. The
action taken followed submission of a
report by committee of which l.. L.
Rogers is chairman. The report set
forth that the proposed road Is of no
value to Eastern Oregon and that II
would be very unjust to use Eastern
Oregon's quota of the state road fund
for such a purpose when there arc
other roads of real value to this section
of the state needing construction.
The subject of the Wallua road and
other subjects were freely discussed at
the luncheon today. The Progressive
business club by motion endorsed the
efforts of the East Oregonian in oppo-
sition to the Walua road.
In the absence of the president of
the club G. NJ. Rice, vice president,
served as chairman today.
