A Union High School

There are so many reasons, ali
good, why We should, at this time
bend all our efforts toward put
ting over a Union High School.
The following are Just a few OF
them:
In the first place we do need it
badly. Our High Schools are
crowded, poorly equipped and the
courses limited, Something Will
have to be done. With prospects
of larger Freshman classes each
year. Would it pay to put any
more money into additions, when
after all is done, we would still
just have oldsbuildings.
Our children should have the
very best educational advantages
and there is no doubt that better
work can be carried ON, both by
pupils and teachers, in a new and
modern building
Our schools have been good and
our children have made good but
we all admit that the handicaps
have been great
Why should any o her communi-
~ have finer schools than Vashon-
Maury Islands2 The type of peo-
pie living here, demand the best
for their children We need this
new High School-let us have it,
Iii the second place the entire
community needs the Union. By
pooling our children, we will pool
our interests, and we Will work
for the thing we are interested in
There is no question about ii, b.
cooperation we can accomplish
anvthine we decide we want to do.
Heretofore the hard thing ha.
been TO get us all wanting to do
the same thing at the same fine.
This seems ia he the psychological
time to bring up this II S. ques-
ton, for all pgrts Of the Island
seem to feel that we need and
want il. The financial standing
Of the different districts, is such,
that it ear be managed nicely this
wear, if no money is spent ON mike
shift additions to the old Dundings.
Ii at this time, we are Hll want.
ing the same thing and all realize
the Importance and value Of a
Union High School why not try
the unique 90 plan of all pulling
together and sec what we can dol
Everyone who thinks, knows that
If the people Of this community
want ANYTHING, all they have to do
Is to get busy 8nd get it.
After WE get a good central II.

Club Work Ranks High
In Educational Plan

That All club work ranks exceed
ingly high in the fundamentals of edu-
cation, was the declaration of Dr.
Paul ]. Kruse of Cornell University,
who addressed the National Club
Camp at Washington, attended by the
Minnesota state leader and a dele
cation of four juniors.
Club work, he continued, has in it
the elements which bring out the
best that is in the membership.
Some Of the principal detectives in
educational work are the developing
of sociability, the economic, the civil,
the exploratory, and the recreational
senses of the individual. Fourth
club activities which reach these OBJ
jectives effectively are, according to
school people. attending county club
camps, attending out of county and
state events, participating in trips,
i'm recreational activities, and in field
days.
DR.. Kruse recommended the use of
prizes and awards.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page ~


the diplomatic corps have been busy
with treaties and other international
matters. few, If any, critics of our
foreign policy in the Senate and
House have commented. In other
campaign seasons every proposal of
the diplomats would be viewed with
alarm" by Senators who specialized
in foreign affairs. The truth is that
the 1920 Presidential race knocked
out the International item from the
foremost place in party platforms
The legislators find the people are
concerned with domestic matters now
and govern themselves accordingly
The state conventions and many prim-
aries are due shortly. Hence, the in
tense activity in home issues. So
many legislators are hard pressed to
handle their own campaigns that
they are Obliged to neglect the ma
tional ticket. This condition applies
with equal force to the two major
parties.
The political propaganda methods
are interesting to the average reader,
The publicity bureaus have staff
gathering information from the
leaders in various sections of the
country, all of which is carefully ed
tied to avoid indiscreet statements of
overzealous self-promoters at the
party's expense. Other groups are
engaged in preparing speeches for
the committees which must bear the
official imprint of approval. The
bosses know full we'll that indiscreet
speakers can lose more votes than
careful campaigners can win over.
Considerable comment has been ad-
vanced regarding farm legislation.
Yet, the old-time theory that the con-
dition of the crops in the fall governs
the rural vote seems to hold sway. 1t
is recalled that good crops presage a
heavy farmer vote for the Republi-
can ticket. The facts are that per-
sonalities and platforms have more
to do with the trend than the harvest.
Both parties are making a strong bid
for the organized farm groups but
the organizations control over the
individuals vote is negligible. The
farm issue Is just another of those
political subjects.

followed them. The horses got scared
the men whipped up and in a few
minutes the team was running away.
The sleigh bounced along on the trail,
struck q sharp turn, and my mother
with the babies In her arms was
thrown from the sleigh twenty feet
down into a river break filled with
snow-the wolves followed the horses.
1T was close to a village Of Man
dams. The Indians heard the noise
and heard my mothers cries, dragged
her out Of the snow with her children
and got her into a tepee; they were
kinder than the whites. They got my
mother and her babies to the boat,
and she reached the farm Of her mar
ried sister in Missouri. But the hard
ships and exposure Of the trip were
too much for her. She lived, with
what had come to her from her father,
till we were twelve years old-never
well, but devoted to her children.
after that my sister and I went
to live with our aunt. Her first hus-
band had died. Her second husband
was a hard taskmaster-he made Us
earn our keep. Three years Of it was
enough for me. It was too much
more than ought to've tried. You
can see for yourselves, gentlemen,
there's not much underpinning to me.
I couldn't stand blowing from day
light to dark. I'm not lazy, I don't
believe-but 1t wasn't In me to do
heavy farm work, and told my uncle
20. He didn't care much; was
bleeding at the lungs at that time
and not much good to anybody. said
goodby to my aunt, who was always
like a mother to me, ran away and

II fell in with Tracy. He was the
first man I met in the high country
who didn't try to get the best Of me.
I drifted here and there with him, but
always had in mind to hunt up
Colonel Roper and tell him my
mothers story after she left. In fact,
my mother asked me to promise to
do that much, and I had promised.
II found him at the fort again-he
had been sent back there. told him
who was. he flew into a rage and
said my mother and her babies per-
ishsd In the blizzard that set in the
day they left the fort. and told me I
was an impostor-that's what I got,
gentlemen, when I was less than six
teen, from my own grandfather
Tracy made the trip up to the fort
with me. I'd told Tracy that If my
grandfather would take me should
quit him. He agreed that would be
right.
"Td thought the old wretch might
have softened with the years; my
mother told me he would Tracy said
he would-that 1t wasn't in human
nature to act the way he was acting
forever. He has a fine manner, you
know-when I first went in he talked
30 nice I hoped he might ask me to
stay. But when he heard my story
well, you know the rest.
II told him I'd come back some day
and make him eat his words. He or
dered me of the reservation. Tracy
and his deck Of cards were waiting for
me; dropped my fathers name and
took my mother's-hsre I am.

years ago at Thief River. Dave Tracy
was down and out. He thought II he
could get a house started here, he
could get on his feet. I backed him
