Extract from the Q-Klar-O News.
$50 The pphlie- school sasiaess4,is the
most important business irfAthe coun-
try. It has 1O5, 1881 stockhold-
ersl (the people of the United States.)
They employ at least 650,00O teachers
to handle the business. There is
branch of the business in every
village, district and town in the
country. Practically every square
mile from Canada to Mexico is part
of school district. Dividends are
paid annually. The dividends are
framed boys and girlS-tcaincd to
think, trained to act, trained to bear
their share in the worlds work. Di-
vidends never fail, but as in some
other good business dividends are
better some times and in some places
than in others. In another business
however, when the dividends fall off,
the shareholders Immediately seek out
their board of directors and say
"Why 2" Sometimes the answer is:
"our working force is inadequate"
or "our turnover is too great" Some
times it is that they are not able to
get the right kind of workers; some
times the plant is not sufficiently
large or it is too large or it is old
fashioned and out of date. Some
times the machinery organization is
not the best that it should be. A
business may need an efficiency ex-
pert to come in and plan the work a
little differently. Sometimes it is
mismanagement.
All these conditions may be found
in the school business too, but cur
iously enough, the stockholders are
not On the job. They have been all
too content to let their boys and girls
go through the plant and not ask
whether the results were the best
that could be attained.

Puts Roll Of Money in Furnace
and Says Goodbye to World
THREE STRAIGHT
FOR THE SCOUTS
Woods Hall Team From North
land College, Swamped.

The Scouts won their third straight
game last Friday night, when they
defeated the Woods Hall team, from
Northland, by the overwhelming score
of go to 16. In spite Of the fact that
Alton was not in the lineup OH ac-
count Of illness, and that during a
part of the game Robinson, Of the
Scout Second Team, was pressed into
service, the local boys played rings
around ther heavier opponents, and
the result was never in doubt.
The Northland boys couldn't do a
thing with the Scouts passing game,
which was going nicely. Sheridan,
playing his first game in the for
ward position, gave an excellent
account of himself, and worked in
nicely, with Haglund, finding time to
chalk up 10 points himself in the
course of the evening. SCOOP Hag-
lund had fairly prosperous even
ing, getting twenty-one goals from
the floor and two from the 15-foot
mark; the way this boys total gen
orally reads would give you the idea
that there were no guards on the
other team, but as a matter of fact,
two guards were watching him, or
trying to, all during the game, and
ae scored through, over, around or
under them at will.
Both Washburn guards had quite
nice time at this game, Soshea
figuring in the attack most of the
time, and Shoresman entertaining
the visiting forwards by himself;
Shoresman also scored his annual
basket early in the game, SO he won't
have that to worry about the rest
of tEe year.
Morgan couldn't remember to keep
his hand behind him on the jump, and
.inally had to be chased out by the
referee; he figures to wear it in a
sling during the next few games, and
see if he has better luck. Sheridan
took his place, and Robinson went in
at forward during the remainder of
the game; he was little nervous, as
he had never played with the first
team before, but did well neverthe-
less. Bratz also got into the game
during the second half, and played
good game.
The Northland team had pretty
much of an uphill time of it during
most of the game, but after the Sc
cond half had started, their captain
spied La Flambeau, a member of the
"A. B. C. team, of Ashland, coming in
to the hall. He was Immediately put
into a suit and hurried to the rescue,
and did mans-size job during the
last eight or ten minutes of the
game, but it was-also!-too late.
The score follows:

sociation will meet in Toronto this
week to consider the international
ST. Lawrence waterway development
scheme, which has been approved by
the international joint waterways
commission, o. E. Fleming, presi-
dent of the Canadian body, announced
Monday. Strong opposition is ex-
pected from Montreal power inter
ests, he said.
Mr.. Fleming added he did not be-
,lieve Canadian public opinion would
permit American participation in
improving the Welland canal, which
is regarded as purely Canadian en-
terprise.
w. w. Chambers, representative
from Ohio, suggested recently at
Washington that the United States
bear half the cost of the Welland
canal project.

a struggle for mastery, while the seas
are supposed to cleanse their souls with

Not even recollection of the slump
which hit the movies last fall can keep
some persons from exerting their will
power and trying to plough into the
film Industry. A letter was recently
received by a trade paper from a
Nebraska farmer who asked for infer
nation as to the cost of a photoplay
house. as he seemed to have some
vague notion of buying into the busi-
ness. and said he didn't care what
"sircut" he bought into.
Speaking of costumes, there are the
gowns worn by Gloria Swanson as a

more could young girl ask? 1t Is a
sort of Mae Murray picture. in which
she plays dancer with all the inn

and she winds UP IN simple dark
frock with just a tiny lace collar TO
show she's really a good girl at heart.
