FLOSSING UP!

~ WAS just trying 10 floss up a story
i SO il would sound better in the
newspapers,
That WAS Sheriff Stawich'S explano-
ton when it developed that an mveStiga-
ton was to be started by the Labor Tenn
pie association Of a story Starwich gave
10 newSpapermen Saturday.
According TO this story one of Star
wiehs deputies had kidnapped two priS-
onerS in Oregon 10 escape the eNtradl-
ton law, and Singe-handed, had brought
them 500 miles to Seattle by Handwriting
them together and placing them across
the hood of his automobile.
The sooner Sheriff StarwiCh learns
that deliberate lies will not be coun-
tenaneed by the public or by the newSpa-
perS, even by an official who adopts al
most any means to get himself onto the
front pages of the papers, the better off
he will be.
If the sheriff wants to do some real
"flosSing," let him floss up a more sat
isfactory explanation for the public of
the recent Jail break"

A CHANCE TO TEST

PROPOSALS to build an mtercepting
l sewer for the Oregon st. outfal and
pump to lift the waste over the hill
have been advanced by John f. Carroll,
chairman Of the streets and sewers COM
mittee
Council members have voted funds for
building septic tanks on several lake sew
erS. These are Objectionable to residents
of the lake, but the proposal to build the
intercepting sewer system TO eliminate
them is opposed on financial grounds by
certain councilmen.
Either an intercepting sewer or the
tank must be installed on the Oregon St
sewer without further delay Carroll
claims the pumping system can be in
stalled as cheaply as the tank
Since the question of comprehensive
intercepting sewer system is moot, the
council can test it's efficiency and COM
pare its workings with the tanks without
additional cost by approving CAROLS
plans for construction of this single unit
1t would seem to be sensible thing to
do rather than build another tank, which
may later be completely eliminated from
the lake shore and have to be replaced

"GASOLINE BUNS"
From the Monthly Review Of the Z. s. Depart.
ment Of Labor

THERE are enough workers resident
i in Oregon to harvest all the crops,
if properly modified
But since so many of the farmers feel
that they need a large surplus of floating
labor in order to establish reasonable
wage scale, they encourage applicants at
the farm gate
Result: Oregon has been confronted
with the problem of the gasoline bum"
the casual laborer who drifts from
place to place in an automobile with his
family and all his worldly goods therein.
This floating labor presents not only
the problem of his employment but of
the education of the children of the
family.

Lack of Intellectual
Tradition Blamed for
High School Failures

Lack of native intelligence, eco
nomic difficulties in the home, undi-
verSified curricula and lack of in
tellectual tradition are the four
major reasons why high school
students drop out of school early
in life, according to DR.. Merriman
of the University of Wisconsin, who
delivered the first of his series of
lectures on educational problems
Tuesday evening before the sum-
mer students of Northern Arizona
State Teachers college at Flagstaff.
Lack of intellectual tradition is
the most important reason, DR.. Mer
riman declared. There are out
standing cases in Wisconsin where
there has never been an individual
in the entire town who had been
graduated from the high school. A
high school is judged by the num-
Der of graduates who continue
their education in schools of high
er learning, the educator asserted.
Education, Dr. Merriman said, is
to give every individual the pro-
gressive development of his entire
personality at public expense.
Teachers must build air castles if
there are to be castles of wood and
stone in our nation. There are 875,-
900 school teachers teaching 26,-
100000 children at total expense
of $2,000,000,0 yearly, according
to Dr. Merriman.
He said it was the business of
the teacher to help enforce the
compulsory school laws.
1--WE must make greater attempt
to educate all the children. We
must take into account their phys
ical efficiency if we are to obtain
the best results. More than thirty
three states have compulsory laws
requiring physical education to be
taught in the public schools. Ari
zona must fall in line. The late
World war brought home to us the
great need of physical education"
said DR.. Merriman.

stone to ave the trade stopped.
Come January first, no more can be

ness quite bit, but we can stand
it. Yet on the whole they are not
bad lot. Their teaching makes
the coolies easier to handle
l talked with the Englishman at
some length, and among other
things made deeper inquiry about
the future prospects of the miser-
able masses of China. But he
didn't think the masses were mis-
cradle l asked him particularly
if he didn't think that, when the
coolies became little more edu-
Gated, they would want better
condition of life, more pay and
shorter hours and some of the
other blessings that have come to
white laboring classes during the
last century. He replied that they
would see that the education of the
Chinaman did not proceed that far.
But I insisted: "Supposing your
plan goes awry, and he does get
educated Won't there be trouble? 2"
A British shrug of his British
shoulders was his only reply.
That was fifteen years ago. An
other generation of Cinnamon, who
have seen and know of conditions
in civilized countries, are taking
the lead. And the lead is leading
to war.
