Double Session
Retards Pupils,
1ldsley Shows
Tells Board of Education
A94, ,4lO Periods Are
Lost Weekly by 1880
Students at Present Time

~ William L. Ettinger, Superintendent
OF Schools, in an official communica-
tion to the Board Of Education at it's
regular meeting yesterday, answered
the question raised week ago by
George j. RYAN, president of the board,
as to whether the high school pupils
on double session actually lost any in
struction by showing that an aggregate
of nearly 100000 pupil periods a week
are lost by these students.
The communication is the result of
an investigation made by District Su-
perlntendent Tildsley and, instead of
bearing out the contention of Mr..
Ryan, tends to show that great num-
Der of the pupils listed under double
sessions should be classed as part
time. Dr.. Tildsley says in the report:
Tiidsleys Report
"Sixty-six thousand and thirtv MI
pills on double sessions are falling to
receive 494,410 pupil periods a week,
an average of seven and one-half
periods pupil week, which they
would have received were they enrolled
In full single session school with
proper equipment. These periods are
tor the most part study and physical
training periods. Some of them are
daily periods and include the subjects
OF shops, business practice, English,
CITY industries, arithmetic science.
iorelgE languages and musicA
"Forty-four thousand and seventy one
pupils have periods of average length
of less than forty minutes. the de.
ficiency ranging from one minute to
three minutes a period; that is g
thirty TO ninety minutes week"
These shortened periods are to be
found in virtually every high school in
the city. The report points out that
the pupils on double session lose al
most all opportunity to take part in
after-school activities, such as clubs
and debating societies, and that they
have virtually no chance to use the
library for reference.
Ryan Wants Action
In communication presented by Mr.
Ryan, he said that as result of an
investigation carried on by himself
conditions are revealed In the admin
istration Of the elementary schools
which seem to him to warrant i'm
mediate action by the Board Of Edu-
cation. He charges that the schools
are not obtaining the maximum use of
available facilities as shown by the
fact that in a number Of schools which
have smaller registration this year
than last there is an increase In the
number Of part time pupils. He also
declares that the opening this fall OF
number Of new buildings has seemed
to fail in reducing part time.
Resolutions were passed giving
power to the president Of the board
and the Board Of Superintendents to
continue the investigation and make
plans to adjust the difficulties.
A wordy clash took place between
DR.. Ettinger and Mr.. Ryan when a
resolution was presented to transfer
the use Of an automobile from DIR.
Ettinger, who has been using it, to Mr..
Ryan and to such use as he may see
fit. DR.. Ettinger said that the car
had been given to him by the Board
of Education for his use. Mr.. Ryan
retorted that the commissioners of the
board also had use for it. The reso-
luton was passed.

adequate education was the conten-
ton of Mr. Dumas, who mentioned
five cents per gallon as an adequate
tax on gasoline for road purposes.
He stated that he is operating four
gasoline engines on his fruit farm
near Dayton and is using much gaso-
, line for other than automobile pur-
poses, but that he would be perfect
ly willing to pay five cents a gallon
tax if he were assured of satisfactory
highways.
Every able bodied man with an
income over a stipulated minimum
should pay his share of the expense
of government, according to Mr. Du-
mas, and that minimum should be a
low one.
He pointed out inequalities in the
present poll tax law in the matter of
exemptions and stated that he feels
ashamed to accept his exemption I'M
der the age clause and stand by while
some frugal college student is forced
to walk up and pay his hard-earned
and much needed $500.
Dealing with the decreasing tax
on personal property and intangible
wealth and the increasing burden on
real estate, Mr. Dumas stated that
when he came to Washington 40
years ago he found personal property
bearing big share of the tax burden
Later he saw real estate crawl up"
to even, to double, to treble and even
to a point where it bears six times
the tax on personal property. He
pointed out many Inconsistencies in
the personal property tax segrega-
lions to prove that much personal
property escapes taxation. The ag-
gregate tax on diamonds, fire arms,
jewelry, clothing and other items in
cluded in the same list amounts to
only 60 cents per capita for the Unit
ed States, he showed, while in one
county in Washington there were
listed 1S1 stations and only "a year
ling colts. In Whitman county, ac-
cording to the tax segregations, there
is per capita holding of only 80
cents in libraries, books and scientific
instruments, while the people of the
entire state of Washington pay tax
on only $4,000 in money. The peo-
pie, he showed by figures, spend %
times as much for Injuries as for
education.

The many strong fraternal organi-

There is something going on all the
time in the way of entertainments,
,rstructional, recreational, social or

In an illustrated folder sent out
nv the chamber of commerce Pull
mans advantages are summarized as
follows:
In the heart of the famous Palouse
euntry is located the city of Pullman,
the commercial, educational, railroad
and social center of that great agri-
cultural district. 1t is a thriving
city of some 1000 population and one
of the principal distributing centers
Of Whitman county, one of the rich
est agricultural counties of the
world Each year upwards of ,000,-
600 bushels of grain, principally
wheat, are shipped from this point.
1t is primarily a home community,
beautifully situated and remarkably
well improved. The city has 142
blocks of paved streets, two beauti-
full parks, and claims the purest water
supply in the United States, the water
system being supplied from an ar
tesian we'll which, from a depth of
only lat feet, flows 2400 gallons
per minute. There are over 20 pri-
vately owned artesian wells.
The rainfall is ample for all kinds
of cereal, vegetable, grass and fruit
crops, between 20 and 25 inches an
nually, and crop failures are I'M
known. The altitude is 2340 feet.
The country tributary to Pullman
consists of a rolling expanse, with
rich black loan soil. Wheat yields
Of so and 60 bushels to the acre are
frequently reported.
Pullman is located S5 miles south
of Spokane, and is served both by
the Northern Pacific and O.-W. r. +
& N. railroads.

are including in the proposed ini-
tiatiye bill just those clauses which
they feel might secure the votes of
the people. Between the present
school tax laws and the proposed
1910 law it is just a question of
which is the more rotten of the two. -
he said. Senator Hall claimed that
it would be negotiable to use either
the days attendance plan or the num-
Der OF teachers employed as a basis
for the distribution of school funds
and contended that a better system
must be found.
Touching on school consolidation
the speaker contended that high
school districts should reach out and
take in adjacent districts in cases in
which the conditions are favorable.
but he urged that business judgment
must be used and that the rural prop
erty owner must not be compelled to
pay for special school privileges of
which his community can not avail
itself
That most of the road tax should
be paid by gasoline and automobiles
and that a state income tax should
raise sufficient funds to provide for
