BRIGHT VS.. POOR STUDENTS

from the less gifted or adding to the
expense of education is the special
work of the committee.
From their study of the situation
they find that sectioning the classes
according to ability; rapid advance
ment, and homer systems superim-
posed on college qualifying examina-
tons, and ssibly departmental
placement examinations in college so
far have given the best success.
DR.. Seashore says he does not favor
"herding all boys and girls into col
lege work" Many he says, should
never go there, for to go would mean
sure failure and consequent mortif1ca-
ton. He favors intelligence examin-
ations in early high school years, and
courses Of study laid out which will
best fulfill the youngsters possibili-
ties with due regard to the law of
supply and demand in the country.
For example, only small proportion
of engineers and doctors are needed
considering the population as a whole.
Emphasis is being laid just now on
excellent openings for men trained in
agriculture, veterinary science and
various phases Of business.

Eighty-acre farms of Class A land will

WASHINGTON of the fed
eral engineers who have been investi-
eating the Columbia Basin irrigation
project stamps approval on the pro
posed reclamation of the great semi
arid portion in the south central part
Of the State of Washington, accord
ing to resume issued by the De-
partment of the Interior.
In addition to finding no difficult
engineering features in the project,
the report Of the board includes a
greater area than had been pro-
posed by state engineers and other
authorities. A total reclamation area
of 1,SS3,O00 acres of frst-class agri-
cultural land is held to be feasible
by the use of a gravity irrigation sys
TEN, supplemented with short pump
ing lifts.
THE board is convinced from its
own study and a review of previous
reports that the project is physically
feasible; that the cost Of land and
water for the gravity project will be
less than on many projects where the
land is held in private ownership;
that it is less than that of most irri-
cation districts privately financed,
and that the project is as attractive
economically as the better projects
already built and those recently ap-
proved by the United States Bureau
of Reclamation" says the report.
Six alternate proposals are made by
the engineers, with three lakes as
the sources of supply. These lakes
are Pend Orielle, Occur d'Alene and
Priest, with varying advantages shown
in different combinations, although
not much difference is shown in the
cost per acre or the annual charge
for operation, maintenance and de-
probation.
Hervey Lindley of Seattle, president
Of the league, is highly pleased over
the report. "The report is splendid"
he said. "The conclusions of the en-.
gineers justify the faith which our
people Of the Northwest have main
tanned for six years. 1t is especially
gratifying to note that the board finds
our projec. as attractive economically
as the better projects already built
by the government. This gives us re-

Trenchers of Wood
Often Works of Art

Wooden trenchers, commonly called
'treen" were in common use during the
Middle ages in Great Britain. ''Masers'
or cups and bowls were frequently mem
toned in Wills and inventories. The
finer specimens belonged to the richer
abbeys-thus, there was the Great
Maser at York, the Judas Cup at Oar
ham, and at st. Savior's, Southwark,
there was "a maser with bordour and
knop of sylver and gilt which was
given to the church wardens to drink
when they mete." These valuable
wooden cups were sometimes orna-
mented by a rim Of silver, but other
wise they were seldom decorated by
more than a few low holdings or in
cised lines. Their value and beauty
lay In the granting of the wood, gen.
orally maple. and the old turner's
chose the part of the trunk where II
divided off into branches so as to OBJ
tain the speckled bird's-eye granting.
By Tudor times pewter began to take
the place of treen, though poorer folk
continued to use these wooden trench
ers and bowls till much later, especial
ly In the north Of England and in Scot
land.
