Human History A Race BetUeen
Education And Catastrophe
Enlightenng Address by Reynod E. Blight Before
OF Imperial Valley Pointing Out the Necessities
of Towner-Stering Bill

its own educational affairs is specifi-
cally met by the wording and pro-
visions of the act itself, which pro-
vides that "all the educational ia.
cilities encouraged by the provisions
of this act and accepted by a State
shall be organized, supervised and ad-
ministered exclusively by the legally
constituted State and local education-
al authorities Of said State"
The objection to the bill on the
ground Of economy and lower taxes is
superficial and shortsighted. While
all citizens agree that retrenchment
and economy are imperative, the re-
duction of expense should be made in
other departments of Federal expendi-
tIre. When it is remembered that,
according to Dr.. Edward B. Rosa, of
the United States Bureau of Stand
ards, only l per cent Of the Federal
appropriation for the fiscal year 1920
was devoted TO education and science,
while 93 per cent of Federal revenues
were diverted to military purposes,
covering past wars and preparations
for future wars, we might we'll con-
tend that education is the last rather
than the first place to talk about re-
trenehment. The budget for 1920
carries appropriations for $57,000,000
for education and science, while ap-
preparations growing out of past wars
reach the astounding total in excess
of S5,279,000,
Indeed and in truth, appropriations
for education should be considered
part Of the national defense.
In closing Mr.. Blight urged his
hearers to write letters to Senator
Hiram ". johnson, Senator Samuel
N. Shortridge. Congressman Phil D.
Swing, and to Hon. Walter F. Brown,
chairman Of committee in reorganiza-
ton of government departments,
Winder Building, Washington, D. c.,
asking them to support the bill.
The Towner-Sterling bill has been
endorsed by the National Educational
association, the largest and most rep
resentative organization of educators
in the country; by the Supreme Coun-
Gil Of the Scottish Rite of Freemason-
ry; by the American Federation of
Labor; by the National Council of
Congregational Churches, and by hun
dreds Of other organizations, includ-
ing boards Of education, chambers of
commerce, rotary clubs, parent-teach-
ers' associations, Masonic Grand
Lodges, boards Of trade, women's
clubs, churches, etc.

WILL STANDARDIZE
EIGHTH GRADE
WORK
Board of Education Considers
Elementary School Questions
Equip for High School

The Imperial County Board Of Ed
ucation will devise means whereby
they hope to standardize Eighth
Grade work in the rural schools
1t is not definitely settled as to how
tht idea is to be carried out, but Sup
erjntendent H. c.. Coe has some plans
under consideration which he believes
will bring about the desired results.
The graduates Of the elementary
schools enter the highschools upon
the diplomas granted by the County
Board of Education and it is most de-
sirable that they be we'll around in
the major subjects or they will be
handicapped all through their high
school course.
As now planned, teachers of rural
schools make the recommendation
for County diplomas OF graduat ton,
each being a law unto herself to a
wide extent as to the qualifications
for grad lation from the Elementary
schools, 1t is Superintendent Goes
idea that the County Board could
materially assist in standardizing
the work if some means can be work
ed out with satisfaction to all con-
cerned whereby the grades may be
made up on an accepted basis, rath-
or than upon the individual opinion
of the teachers themselves and upon
tests and daily work that often varies
according to the teachers personal
ideas Of the teachers in widely sep
arated districts.
1t is with the one idea Of sending
into the high school those only VINO
are qualified 10 do the advanced
work
At its meeting Saturday, the Board
considered the County Course of
Study which they will revise so that
it will be simpler and exactly up to
date. Several certificates to teach
in the County were granted by the
Board.

BELLED BUZZARD
BRINGS DEATH SIGN

WARRINGTON, w. Va, July 90
The far-famed "belled' buzzard,
claimed by pioneer residents to be
more than Pocahontas, Monroe and
Mercer counties.
Superstitious residents fear dis
aster is imminent, in which there will
be a great loss of life. They point to
past occasion when the buzzard made
its appearance, which were followed
by calamities.
For three months prior to the Cabin
Creek strike, nine years ago. The buz-
zard circled the territory in radius
of 100 miles. Later it was reported to
have been seen on the Mexican border
when there was fighting between the
L. ;. troops and Villa s forces.
The bird returned to West Virginia
several years ago when there was loss
of life by floods. For year it was in
MingO county.
A Wolf Creek resident said he saw
the bird a few days ago. He could
plainly hear the bell.
Local history has it that the buz
zard was captured by pioneer residents
shortly after the war of 1912. The story
goes that two men captured the bird
tied the bell TO the buzzard s neck and
allowed il to escape.
No one has been able to approach
the huzzard, and residents are afraid
TO shoot it.
