PUBLIC SCHOOLS LEAD.

Reports that those students entering college from public schools do not do well in their work as private school graduates are not borne out by studies made recently at Yale University. The reverse however is indicated to be the case at that institution. In fact, public school graduates rank ahead of those graduated from private schools in nearly every way. The survey was made by Dr. Llewellyn T. Spencer, Professor of Psychology at Yale. His report shows that private school graduates, excell in only two respects examination grades and ,extra-curriculum activities.
 In college grades, in percentage to graduate, in number of resignations and self-support, the public school men lead, and the percentage of public school who fail to complete their courses is less than private school men. "ln so far as the Yale group is concerned,' said the report ''the present figures make it clear that the previously reported nferiority of the public school student does not extend to that portion of the enrolment which is destined for college entrance"
 It is not impossible that in some special branches private schools may give advantages to boys and girls that not obtainabe in public schools But in the study of fundamentals and in general academic work well as special technical subjects, the public school system of the country is in no way inferior to private in- sttutions. The country is and has right to be proud of it's public school system which is offer ing educational advantages to it's youth far super for to those ever before presented by any nation or race to all of it's junior citizens.

The Donkey and the Eagle.
New York Times. ]

One can hear in imagination the high, rasping voice of the cracker-barrel philosopher: "Wimmen, wmmen! What won't they do next?" An an swer is the last thing he is thinking of. His thoughts are about their last outrage. They want to abolish the donkey as the emblem Of the Democratic Party and substitute the eagle.
 Being unreasonable, women are, they give what they call reasons for the desired change The dear, loyal donkey is "unsightly.' and it's character does not exemplify the party virtues. True, Democrats have deep affection for the stubborn, patient little beast, but the women do not think of that They will throw him out just because he offends their esthetic sensibili- ties and put an arrogant bird in his place.
 The indignant philosopher may as we'll ac- cept the change cheerfully and hope the new symbol will betray the women. There was one eagle mascot of Wisconsin regiment, and af- fectionately called ''Old Abe" who let the outfit down by laying egg So the womens bird may hatch unexpected trouble for them
 Prettifying the Democratic Party is a man. size iob It would be just like the women to try to do it.

 Of course, it is entirely possible that the Methodist board of lobbyists knew nothing of the fight which stirred Ohio for weeks prior to the election It may not have known that hundreds of the ministers of the church were actively engaged in attempting to foist bill "in bad odof the people of the State. But it would seem strange if such were the case in view of it's keen interest in all things that pertain to prohibition and it's enforcement. Only on the theory of better late than never can it's post-fact approval of the defeat of the measure be said 10 be well-timed.

A WELL-TIMED STAND.

The latest "clipsheet' which is issued free to newspapers by the Board of Temperance, Pro hibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church has for it's leading article an editorial review of the November elections which, by the way, 1t does not interpret as showing any reaction against Prohibition. Among other things it said:
 In Ohio we are told, the Anti-saloon
 League received hearty rebuke and
 the voters registered their wet sym
 pathies by rejecting law said to give
 jurisdiction to Justices of the Peace Tn
 certain cases including offenses inyoly-
 ing liquor.
 In Ohio, it seems that the Anti
 Saloon League did approve measure in-
 volving the fee system of compensating
 Justices of the Peace. That system IS Ill
 bad odor all over the United States and
 if we are not mistaken the voters are
 prepared to reject it whenever it is
 found on the ballot The rural dry dis
 tricts of Ohio joined with the cites ln condemning the plan. Once agalh we
 will say just by way of illustration
 and not to seize opportunity or ex-
 pressing an opinion on matters on which
 we are not perfectly informed, that II
 is probable that would nave voted
 with the hundreds of thousands of so-
 called wet Ohio voters who Will eer-
 tainly once again strike heavily at tpe
 liquor interests at the first opportunity.
 Commenting on this pronouncement, the Cln cinnati Enquirer which was one of the leaders in the fight against the Marshall Bill ana t' which much credit is due for it's defeat ronicail' remarks that the board is not mistaken, bu if has been rather slow to announce it's con yiction in this respect

BUFFALO BILL
NOTES

Since it is definitely settled hat
President Coolidge will not come
to Wyoming this summer, the Mus
cum Association will open the Mus
cum on July 4th, the first day of
the Stampede. 1t was always in
tended to open on that date, I'M
less the President could be per-
suaded to be here at the official
opening of Yellowstone Park on
June 18th. Persons close to the
President believe that if he intend
ed to run again for president, he
would have to make a western trip
this summer. and hat it was more
than possible that he could be
brought here for the Park opening.
However, the following letter has
been received which takes away
all hope that he can be expected:

WHAT WYOMING
NEEDS THE MOST
Noted Magazine Writer Believes
Wyoming Needs More Publicity

Albert W. Atwood, in an article
entitled. Wealth in the Outdoor
West" which appeared in the De-
cember 8 issue of the Saturday
Evening Post. discusses and specu-
lates as to their probable future.
Some Of Mr.. Atwood's observa-
lions are especially interesting in
that they catch the spirit and the
breadth of vision of the pioneer
residents of the west who have liv-
ed here for half a century or more.
For instance, "In numbers of these
mountain and desert states irriga-
ton, even today. is in the infancy
OF what 1T will eventually become
THE first a of settlers may
fail and this or that project may
fail, but the general process of con-
quering the arid lands goes on.
When rivers like the Colorado and
the Columbia are fully harnessed,
there will be a change In the face
of many a desert. Not only In the
west. but wherever new population
is desired ,one encounters the firm
conviction that If only more people
knew more about the locality, they
would come there to live or at least
like 1t better"
Some of these statements will be
oil special interest to those citizens
of Wyoming. who are sponsoring
the proposed publicity bill for the
state at the present session of the
legislature. Wyoming people are
sure the whole world would like us
better If only they would come TO
know us. In this connection Mr..
Atwood in his article quotes United
States Senator John B.. Kendrick MS
follows:
II think I might say without any
charge of c~onceit, that nothing
would attract people of Wyoming SO
much as a little better acquaintance
with the state. We have not had
that acquaintance in the past. due
almost entirely to the way our rail-
way lines e built. 1t would
have been utterly Impossible, no
matter how. fine and wonderful a
railway 1t Is, to have laid the line
OF the Union Pacific SO as more
completely to give the people gem
orally a wrong Impression of the
state"
