new SYSTEM OF
WORK in SCHOOLS
ILLINOIS TOWN ADOPTS INDIVID-
UAL RUCTI0N-PUPILS
FORGE AHEAD

Winnetka, lila. P.)-Pupils
don't fail" any more in the public
schools of Winnetka. 1t is not that
these school children are differene,
but because the Winnetka Board of
Education has thrown off the shack
les of the old class lock-step system
and has provided every child with
individual instruction, according to
Carlton w. Washburne, superinten-
rent of schools.
Reputed to be the first complete
example of individual instruction in
public schools" Winnetka's expert
ment already has gained wide atten-
ton. Last year alone" Mr.. Wash
burne said, "the Winnetka schools
were visited by hundreds of visitors
from all parts of the United States
and from Australia, New Zealand, ia
pan, Sweden, England and Belgium.
This widespread interest" the
superintendent continued, shows a
general awakening to the evils of
class lock-step and to the need for
individual instruction. For four
years we have been working out the
technique of individual instruction in
the public schools of Winnetka.
While our work is still crude in
many ways, we have demonstrated
beyond question that it is possible
for a public school system to give in
C3ividual instruction and individual
promotions without changing the size
of classes and increasing the number
teachers.
The general value of individual in
struction already has been demon
strated by Burk at the San Francisco
State Teachers College, Sutherland
of the Los Angeles Public Schools, by
Horn in Iowa, and by Courts in De-
troit. Jessie MacKinder in London
has shown the possibility of putting
individual instruction in large city
school classes, even with five and six
year old children.
''All of these experiments have
shown that individual instruction
eliminates failures and grade repeti-
ton, that it stimulates children's in
terest in school, that it strengthens
their initiative, sense of responsible
ity and self-expressive activities more
than is possible under the old class
lock-step system
The Winnetka Public Schools are
operated upon an individual system
which permits each child to progress
at his own natural rate, not forced
too rapidly by those who are quicker.
nor held back by those who are slow
er. Promotion is by subjects. A
child may be promoted in reading at
one time, for instance, and in arith-
metic at quite another. Promotion
does not necessarily involve a change
of rooms. Pupils in the same room
may be doing two or even three
grades of work

MANY IDAHO PEOPLE
LACK "SCALE CONSCIENCE"

Gasoline pumps generally over Ida
ho are measuring from one-half pint
to one quart short, according to Joel
Brown, state director of weights and
measures. Mr.. Brown has just re-
turned from an inspection trip over
southeastern Idaho, says the States
man.
''There are very few cases in which
I think the shortage is intentional" :"
Mr.. Brown said, "but I found some
pumps which l believe were manipu-
lated to give short measure. Of
course, it would be hard to prove this.
Gasoline statesmen are always more
than willing to make the adjustment
of their pumps, which is the work of
but a minute"
Mr.. Brown said he found many
scales out of adjustment and weigh
ing short, to the disadvantage of the
buyer. This mostly results from
carlessness and failure of dealers to
inspect their scales regularly.
$50 many people seem to lack
scale conscience Mr.. Brown said
(which is a satisfied state of mind
existing with sellers when they feel
the person on each side of scale is
getting square DEAL

MOSCOW THRONGS To
VS.. c. C.-OREGON GAME

AS if in acknowledgment of Pull
mans support of the Idaho -Gonzaga
game yesterday great numbers of
Moscow people left this afternoon for
Pullman to attend the w. S. C.-Oregon
game. And, according to current re-
ports around town, most of them ex-
pect to give w. S. c. large share of
their support.
This game marks the annual
homecoming day for w. S. c., so an
extensive program was prepared for
the visitors. Dances and parties
will feature this evening and probably
many Moscow people will remain in
Pullman tonight to attend them.
Streets were almost deserted this
afternoon and business was quiet
but in Pullman, as in Moscow, yester-
day, crowds thronged the walks, and
packed the bleachers on Rogers field.
In spite of the .age-old rivalry be-
tween the two schools. w. S. G. was
the favorite among the students and
townspeople when they left for the
game this afternoon. This attitude
was not lessened by the fact that
W. S. G victory would increase Idaho's
standing in the Pacific Coast confer

turning to Bozeman, Mont, from

wheels and causing the car to shoot
off the road.
Both occupants were thrown clear
of the car. Mr.. Story, in spite of his
injuries, ran into the road and
stopped passing car. He then lap
sed into unconsciousness.
Medical aid arrived at the scene of
the accident in less than fifteen min
utes and administered first aid to
Mrs Story All efforts were useless,
however, and in half an hour after
the accident, Mrs. Story was dead
Examination of Mr.. Story showed
that he was suffering from a con-
cussion over the right temple and an
injury to his upper vertebrae, caus-
ing a temporary paralysis of the low
er limbs.
Mrs. Story was formerly Miss Etha
Mayo of st. Louis, Mo. Her body is
now in Pocatello Mr.. Story was
elected lieutenant governor in 1920.
Prior to that time he was chairman
of the republican state central COM
mittee and amember of the legisla-
ture. He was at one time mayor OF

MANY TAUGHT In
MISSIONARY SCHOOLS

Chicago-(A P.)-Chirstian edu-
cation is being given 1920 native
pupils in $3.50 schools in foreign
lands, under the direction of the
board of foreign missions of the Me-
thodist Epsicpal church, according to
a report made public here from a
survey just completed by Eric M.
North, education secretary of the de-
nomination. Professors and teachers
in the schools number 6,868, the re-
port said.
The schools vary in type according
to the needs of the locality. A large
proportion are elementary schools,
next in number are secondary and
others are high schools, colleges, in
dustrial and vocational institutes,
medical schools and seminaries.
"In many mission fields, as in
Africa" the report says, "the stan
dard of living is so low that voca-
tional education is necessary to pro-
vide means of earning a livlihood for
the converts so they can lead Chris
tian lives Independent of the heather
superstitions about them. This in
wolves the task of building the foun-
dations for an entire civilization, and
because of excellent result obtained,
has made American mission stations
desirable to colonial governments.
Many of the schools receive annual
and special grants from the govern
ments, and are rated high in educa-
tional status by the ministers of ed
ucatiOn."

Competition and j.
IS. WHEAT grower
AUSTRALIA HARVESTS WHEAT
AT ONE CENT PER BUSHEL-
HIGHER TARIFF ARGUMENT

Moscow farmers, in session at the
Farmers Union hall this afternoon
discussed various phases of the
wheat situation, and among other
things the desirability of a higher
tariff, to protect the farmer from the
wheat grown in other countries for
export. An article from the Har-
vester World, published by the Inter
national Harvester company, created
considerable interest, showing very
plainly the need for higher tariff
on wheat.
The article showed that an Aus
tralian wheat grower had harvested
a 40O-acre crop, yielding 80 bushels
to the acre, at a cost of one cent per
bushel. The owner and two other
men, using combined reaper
thresher, drawn by tractor, aver
aged 80 acres per day, or 900 bushels,
at a cost of So, which included the
cost of fuel and oil for the machin-
cry.
George Sievers, manager of the
Moscow Union Warehouse company,
referring to this stated: eff this is
true, then how can the American
grower produce wheat in competition
with the Australian grower? The
Australian grower secures labor at
So a day, grows his crop on cheap
land and has low taxes, as against
the American grower paying as high
as So a day for labor, growing his
crop on high priced land and paying
an enormously high tax"
The meeting of grain growers and
others called for the seventh, at
Colfax, was discussed, and delega-
'tion named to attend from here.

In what must have been a most
terrific battle, the w. S. G. Cougars
beat the Oregon WebfOoters IA to z,
on Rogers field at Pullman this after
noon.
Before the game Oregon was con-

by virtue of her tie game with Idaho
last week. But the Cougars were out
for blood and on their home field
they battled to memorable victory.
The result of ibis game boosts Ida
