Union Schools
Dependent On
Good Highways

Good roads are essential to tne
suceess of consolidated schools, ae-
eording To the unanimous opinion
of county school superlntendents
Of Oregon who close their annual
coventien here Saturday after
session covering the entire week.
The past year has been conspieu-
ous IN the number Of consolida-
tiens which have taken place
among school districts In the
rural seetions of Oregon, 1t was
brought out with Douglas county
setting the pace and Coos and
Umatilla counties contesting for
second place. The advantage OF
the consolidated district over the
old system of one and two-room
country schools was admitted Dy
all the superintendents who have
had any experience with CONSOLE
datlon but all agreed that good
roads must precede consolidation
of schols.
Superintendent J. q, Myers of
Crook county pointed out to con-
vention the advantages of the
county unit system OF school ad-
ministration over the old system
of individual district administra-
ton. The county unit system, he
declared, makes for greater uni,
formlty Of equipment in the vari-
GUS schools and for greater effi-
cheney in the management of
school affairs generally. Crook is
the only county in Oregon which
has yet adopted the county unit
system.
1t was the concensus of opinion
among the superintendent that
there should be a general tighten
ing up of standards surrounding
the issuance of teachers certifi-
Gates and a protest was voiced
against the issuance Of permits to
teachers, a practice which was
quite generally followed during
the war emergency.
Officers of the state association
of county superintendents were
elected as follows: ]. e. Myers
of Crook county, president; Mrs.
Twyla Ferguson of klamath coun-
ty, vice-president, and Josiah
Wills of Polk county, secretary.

arose and placed his resignation

Michael Collins, one OF the lead
ers In support OF the Irish treaty
which was ratified Saturday over
Mr.. DeValera's opposition, said
that no one on the Dali wished L
be put In the position Of opposing
President DeValera.
He pointed out that the Dali
was now faced with the problem
Of taking over the government
from the British and he suggested
the formation OF committee
whose numbers would be chosen
from both sides Of the contro-
yersy, to keep the peace. Work,
and not talk, was now required,
be added.
Arthur Griffith said the ques-
tion Of the treaty had been consti-
tutionally settled and that there
was nothing to prevent its terms
being carried out.

not object to the reelection of

people would turn out the Dali, as
the Dahl would be the laughing
stock Of the world.

called the treaty "only vague

terry Has Rapid Death,
Says Expert.

Many batteries are certain to be
ruined II they are not taken out
of cars that are being laid up for
the winter, and put in wet or dry
storage. says a battery expert,
who sounds a note of warning to
motorists who have let this i'm
portant detail slip by them during
cold weather. He points out that
less batteries are in storage this
winter than in the past. which
means that they are being left in
the cars. -...-
The deterioration of a battery
while idle is much more rapid than
when the car is being used. 1t Is
impossible. he says, to save a bat
terry which has been frozen IL 1t is
allowed to stand. Unless a bat
terry man can get after 1t soon
after freezing the plates will bulge
and the machinery will be ruined.
Such warnings are a part of

at is a common practice to leave
battery in car stored in
garage" says the expert, "and this
practice proves highly dangerous
il the battery is to be saved. I
have noticed the small number OF

during any recent year. That is

nothing at all in the upkeep of a

An unused battery standing un-
charged will go to pieces very
rapidly. This matteIl of lack of
attention is due entirely to
thoughtlessness on the part of the
owner, but it will prove highly eX-
pensive before the winter is over.
This is just the sort of condition
that we do not want to see come
about, because We want every
owner to get the utmost use and
satisfaction from his battery. He
surely will have to buy again
should the old battery be ruined,
but this is useless and one which
all battery men deplore. For this
reason we sound a warning in be-
half of the motorist who has neg
lected his battery, for 1t yet may
not be too late to save IT.
Battery companies have built
UP this storage for one purpose
and that is to save money for the
owner and prevent wastage. All
we~can do is sound a warning and
do our best to educate against
carelessness. 1t should go to every
man who wants to maintain his
