Current Comment.
Hordes Of autos now remind us
We should build our roads to stay,
And departing leave behind us
Kind that rains don't wash away.
When our children pay the mortgage
Father made to haul the loads,
They'll not have to ask the question:
Here's the bonds, but where's
roads?"
Elastic currency is the kind that
will stretch from one pay day to
the next.

CURRENT EVENTS IN
THE PUBIC SCHOOLS
(By Lucille Summerfield)

One of the most important sub
jects that should be taught in
every school, whether high school or
grammar school is current events
Pupils of to day will be citizens OF
tomorrow, and in order to be true
and loyal citizens they must know
what is going on in their native
land.
Not long ago test in current
events was given to 1880 college
and school students by the Institute
for Public Service. The average
grade of these students was "A per
cent in answering qudStions, about
frequently named persons places and
national questions. This shows that
the average student knows very little
about the public problems of the
country.
The pupil, as young citizen, is a
real factor in community affairs.
Therefore it is task of the teacher
to cultivate in the pupil sense of his
responsibility, present, as well as fu-
ture. Students should be taught to
study current events just as they are
taught history, mathematics, on any
other subject. Pupils should be
tested on the way they read current
problems and OH what they UNDER
stand and remember of them
Unless schools make special ef-
fort at teaching curernt events pupils
will put off reading and studying
them until otter they have finished
school. 1T will be too late then
for them to think deeply and clearly
about national questions for they will
seem too large for them to think Of.
Unless pupils are tested on what they
understand and remember of what they
read and hear they will be come con-
fused and will be absolutely helpless
in thinking about important public
events.
No country is able to expect its citi-
zens to think clearly and deeply at
elections or in political and industrial
crises unless they have been we'll
trained to read regularly, to enjoy and
to think clearly about curernt events
Therefore, let us hereafter read current
events with a view to understanding
and remembering the most important
points read.

NEW RATES ON ORE

The Public Service Commission oI
Nevada has procured the establishment
of a commodity rate on ores, con-
centrates and sulphurets in carloads
from various places in the state to the
Toulon smelter. at Toulon, Nevada, al
much lower than the present class
rates. The new rates are published
by the Southern Pacific Company to
become effective on April 3rd, and the
effect OF reduction is shown by the
comparison of the new with the old
rates from few representative
points.
From Reno the new rate on $50-ore
is $l.1C per ton; OH SlG0-ore $1.7o per
ton, compared with which was the old
rate OF 5000 per ton From Hazen
the new rates are 50 cents and S110
while the old rate was $440. From
Wabuska rates will be $l,10 and SLOT
instead of $6.40 as heretofore, and
Nina is given rates Of $l.20 and Slot
in place of the former rate of 5000
Ore from Mill City will take rate
of. sc cents or $l.l0, depending on its
value, while the old rate ON all ore
was $5.40, and the SO Winnemucca
rate is reudced to $l.l0 and Sl.60.
Elko and Coore have been required
to pay $ll and $3.50 respectively,
but the new rate will be $3.50 and
$420 from Elko andS39C and $500
from Cobre
The Toulon smelter is located few

EFFICIENCY

The most important quality high
school student needs is efficiency.
To be efficient is to be able to do
things. to be self-relant, to have pres
ence of mind. In short, efficiency is
common sense. or as one author terms
it. efficiency is the measure of man,
the real size of his soul" Are you
efficient? If not, cultivate the quality
of being efficient, for it is thing that
