WHAT INVESTIGATION
REVEALED TO A CITIZEN

Ohe of our most wide-awake, ener
getic and ble-spirited citizens
smiled his way into our office. drew
the spare chair up along side our desk
and interestingly entertained us with
the following:
Here's something wish you would
tell folks in our home paper. The
other day We overheard the old. famil-
lar story--'Oh. yes. it's fine lookin'
school house, all right. but they might
as well tear it down for all the actual
teachin' that goes on up there. never
went very far. but could teach lot
more than is being taught Basketball
is all my boy goes for. Teachers
put in their time and draw their sal
aries, and so on AS long as anybody
is around to listen. It's the same old
record that's been worn out for years,
but some poor benighted souls are still
playing ii.
WELL" continued our visitor. "the
same old curiosity that killed the cat
sent US sneaking into that high school
building TO see what really was going
on and We haven't got over the shock
yet. We found sophomore English
class giving splendid oral reports on
various articles they had read from
papers or magazines Each one talked
about five minutes. and their speeches
would have done credit to the average
college student. and the impromptu
criticisms of each others reports were
wonders t. us. We also found 4
senior class discussing with much
thought, and intelligence such topics
as government control of mines. This
visit converted US on the school ques-
ion. For the sake Of justice, 80 visi:

to find plsee where more real work

There were 697 arrests for intoxica-

during the month of March. Consid-
ering that the country was made dry
at Washington and that there are
arrests for intoxication and liquor

States. it is evident that Washington
lives up to prohibition just about on a
