Progress in Montana elementary
and high schools, as shown by better
facilities, heightened school terms
and more revenues, is revealed in the
Goth biennial report issued by the
state superintendent of public in
struction. The report covers the two
year period ending June 80, 1928.
Enrolment for the period is almost
exactly the same as in 1925-26, the to-
tails being l17,972 and 1T, 9
Revenues increased from S12,543,512
in 1926 to STATS ,266 in 1928.
The number OF fOur-year high schools
increased from 1853 to 100, and the total
high school enrolment from 81, 349 to
22.232. County high schools increased
from 10 to 20. There were in 1923, rs
Smith Hughes vocation schools, in
which 731 boys received instruction in
practical agriculture.
"One of the really insignificant
movements in Montana during the last
10 years is the constant and decided de-
crease in the number of over-age chill
dren in school," the report declares.
BY average children is meant pupils
over seven years old in the first grade,
over eight in the second grade, and SO
on. In 1918, according to the report,
the percentage of over-age children
was 24.7, with only IS counties report
ing. In 1922 it was 22.9 per cent; in
1924, 21.2; in 1926, 1913, and in 1928,
IT'S per cent. There are, however still
IL ,908 boys and $500 girls in school
who are average, the largest number
being in the seventh grade.
Silver Bow Leads
Silver Bow county leads in the state
in length of school term, with an av-
erage of 1855 days. One hundred and
So schools have terms of over 100 days,
252 between 100 and 100 days; 1854 be-
tween al and 100 days; three less
than 20 days, seven have from 81 to
40 days, and Is, Al to 60 days. About
"a per cent of the pupils attend the
schools with terms of 161 or more days.
Deer Lodge county leads in highest
average number OF days of attendance,
1877, for 1928. Missoula county is Sec
ond with 179 days.
Mineral county stands first in the list
in taxable valuation per teacher, fol-
lowed by Deer Lodge, Toole, Meagher,
and Lewis and Clark. This table is the
cation problem, the report states. A
valuation of $1,000 per teacher Is re-
garded as the lowest possible minimum
for a nine months term. Ten counties
in the state have a taxable valuation of
less thar $4,000 per teacher, and Is
more than 500, 900, the other counties
between the two figures.
The source of school income, county
tax, district tax and state appOrtiOn-
ment and other sources held practically
the same ratio as in the period before,
the percentages standing in order:
34.09, 81 .83, l1.63 and 2.45.

Do Women Lone More Than Men,
By Elsie Robinson

THROUGH MARRIAGE CAN

AND PLACE AMONGST THE
OTHER soUAws.
Because of this. marriage is
more than a romantic episode to
a woman. 1t is, in spite Of her
highfalutin' language, the most
important and practical transac.
ton of her life and from the day
she is a fodder she Is taught, and
rightly taught. the technique of
romance. Just as a boy is taught
the technique OF work.
Women are greater adopts in
the technique Of romance than
men. They attach greater impor-
lance to sentimental details than
men. And they are wise in this.
FOR SENTIMENTAL DETAILS
ARE A VERY VITAL PART OF
THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF MAT
RIMoNY. The executive who
neglects details, in any line of
business, Will SnOrLly pay LoE HIS
folly. Successful wives develop
and maintain the beautiful tech
niuue of their trade.
BUT THAT DOES NOT IMPLY
THAT THEY LOVE MORE THAN
MEN.
A MAN EXPRESSES AS MUCH
DEVOTION BY HIS WORK AS
A WOMAN DOES BY HER
WILES.
A WILTED COLLAR MAY BE
AS TRUE A PROOF OF LOVE
AS A SHEAF OF ROSES AND

And modern women are begin
ming to realize this. The twen-

A mind without action is not

We think, we imagine, we plan,
we conjure up ideas. Then we put
them into execution-we act!
Thought and action, therefore, are
intimately related. In many ways
they are inseparable.
To act practically without
thought is as unwise as thinking
without sooner or later putting the
thoughts into active use. Never
theless, thousands Of people act
impulsiveIy, without recourse to
thought. Many act automatically
or reflexly, without allowing their
actions to be sobered by thought.
If always we would stop to
think before we act, how many
scores of mistakes would be saved
To think first, before one puts
thought into execution, does not
imply craftiness or design. But
it implies common horse sense and
that's a lot.

It might very well be supposed
that a law of such universal

would be entirely impossible OF
comprehension by the layman.
But such is not the case. With
only a knowledge OF a little al
zebra and geometry, one may
show essentially how Newton ar
rived at his great and universal
law.
First Of all, let us recall what
Newton derived from Kepler's
laws. Newton showed that these
required the operation of a force
Of attraction, directed toward the
center of the sun and diminishing

but they wander in a precise way,
viz: All rotate around the Sun
according to Kepler's laws.
The Moon circles around the
earth. in the same way as the
earth circles round the Sun. New
ton now raised the question. Is
the Moon kept in her orbit by a
similar force directed towards
the center of, the earth? We know
of course, these bodies on the sur.
face Of the earth fan freely, acted
upon by a similar force. Ii It
this same force which keeps so
remote a, body as the Moon in its
distant path? This was the
''hunch" that Newton had as
early as 1865. He tried to prove
the correctness Of his "hunch, :"
and how it was done is well
shown by Poor in his "Gravita.
ton versus Relatively"
The argument is simple. and
proceeds as follows: A stone falls
towards the earth 1905 feet in q
single second. If the force which
causes it to fall decreases as the
square Of the distance from the
earth's center, then at the distance
Of the moon. which is at a distance
OF CO.'S times the radius Of the
earth, the stone would fall only
one divided by the square Of COS
on one over 1886, as far. Hence
It would fall 0.053 inches.
Now IL the force that keeps the
moon in her orbit is the same as
that acting on the stone, then the
moon should be falling towards
the earth By exactly this saIna
