Constitution fair trial, and not leave
behind us an untried experiment but
a successful one.

The participation of White Bluffs in

The participation of White Bluffs in
the state High School Debate series
for the South Central District has met
with some serious handicaps.
In making arrangements for the de-
bates scheduled with Mabton and
Selah, the difficulties began to present
themselves. It is now apparent that
for school the size of White Bluffs,
debate Is entirely too expensive and
difficult to manage under the condi-
lions present this year.
There are no teams east of Prosser
participating in debate this year in
the district that White Bluffs is in,
and so to compete in the series long
trips are necessary. It is also difficult
to arrange the time of debate salts
factorily as the majority of schools
have been accustomed to holding de-
bates in the afternoon, and White
Bluffs High School can not arrange
with the present number of teachers
to hold afternoon debates away from
home, as there are no funds to pro-
vide for substitute teacher while the
debate coach is with the team.
Mr.. Nelson has finally recommended
that White Bluffs forfeit their sched-
uled debates in the South Central
series. He suggests that, if possible,
practice debates with schools nearer
to this locality like Hartford, Rich
land, or Benton City be arranged. Mr..
Nelson hopes that some day with adj
ditions to the teaching staff Public
Speaking can be offered so that those
interested in debate and dramatics can
enroll for this subject and thus earn
credit for their work, and the subject
will be sponsored by the school program
of studies.

group staying, at their own request,
for hours beyond the close of the day.
The pranks of the old boarding school
are thing of the past. The pupils
of today are too busy preparing them
selves to recruit the vast army of ty-
pists, stenographers, bookkeepers, and
machine operators in the offices of
the greatest industrial nation of all
time.
Until recently, the greatest indus
the United Steel Corporation, organ
zed in 1901 with capital of $1,000.
Two months later it was reorganized
with capital of billion and pro-
coded to absorb railroads, steamship
lines, and other industries by the
hundreds. The result of the many
similar industrial changes has been
to annihilate time and space and
greatly reduce the amount of labor
necessary to supply mans needs, a
situation realized in this generation
but only dreamed of by past gen.
erations.
One of the by-products of our
shorter hours of labor is our increased
leisure time. Formerly only the Office
boy went to night school. But today,
public night schools and university
extension classes are constantly grow
ing in numbers and include in their
enrolment all classes of workers from
managers down. The latest illustra-
ton to come to my attention is the
formation of classes in many cities
by business men for the study of
shorthand for their own personal use.
Woodrow Wilson was a shorthand
writer and personally typed from his
shorthand notes his messages to Con-
gress.
1t is we'll recognized now that ones
education does not end when diplo-
ma is granted, but continues on
through active life

WORK ON GRADE SCHOOL
PROGRAM PROGRESSES

Preparations for the grade school
program to be given Thursday even
ing, December 8, are still in progress.
The program consists of Tom Thumb
Wedding, by the pupils of the first,
second and third grades, and an oper-
eta, "The Castle of Carelessness," by
the pupils of the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades.
On Saturday, a rehearsal was held
at the High School auditorium, to en-
able the pupils to get accustomed to
performing on the stage. The students
brought lunches, and went through the
program twice-once in the morning
and once in the afternoon.
The entertainment should create
widespread interest among the parents,
for nearly every pupil in the grade
school has part in the plays

EDUCATION DOES NOT END
WHEN DIPLOMA is GRANTED

In it's broadcast sense business has
been defined as embracing all those
activities followed in obtaining live
lihood. Business and the business OF
living are, then very closely related
A recent survey reported the business
activities of 686 persons representing
all vocations. It indicated an almost
UNIVERSAL need for information about
a great variety of business activities
Analysed by groups it was found that
professional groups used a greater
variety of business information than
was required by strictly clerical work.
ers. This justifies not only the teach
ing of fundamental business activities
but also the teaching of these activi-
ties to all pupils regardless of the oc-
equations they expect to follow in the
future.
Many students enter from other de-
partments, some taking one subject,
some another, according to their fu-
ture interests In the full commercial
course we have an outstanding exam
pie of the democratic response of
modern education to the needs of all
classes as opposed to the former plan
of preparing only for college and off,
cial life.
Bookkeeping was the first to break
through the old college preparatory
defense. 1t was soon followed by
shorthand. In 1901 teacher of math-
ematics in my high school introduced
course in single entry bookkeeping
and in 1905 the secretary to the city
superintendent conducted class in
shorthand. No tipping or related sub
jects were offered by public and pri-
vate commercial schools throughout
the land
Introduction of these courses has
played it's part in the phenomenal
growth in high-school attendance.
Teachers used to keep the pupils af-
ter school, nowadays the pupils
keep the teachers. During my service
as a teacher, have always had a

GREEN PASTURES

All things considered ones home town or COM
munity is the best place. White Bluffs meets the
requirements for those who WANT it the best
place and who will cooperate to the end that their
wants will become realities Those who revel in
the great national sport of being dissatisfied with
their home town community all wrong I'M
less they help to make it better. The Prodigal Son
thought another pasture was greener; but had to
live on husks
It is we'll to remember that the fellows in other
communities are vocing certain dissatisfaction.
The fault is not with the community but with the
point of view. Saying that conditions poor and
business is bad helps to make them TRUTHS because
destructive criticism is catching and demoralizng
to any phase Of activity.
This community would be lfeless without it's
citizens in action. The residents can make the pas
ture here green as any other turning any false
notions of adversely into realities of success. This
can be done in small way in large way if
we will.
It is no particular credit to man how many
towns he has lived in, how many businesses he has
'run'', or how many jobs he has held. The
and women who make history the permanent
settlers-the masters of single business and the
workers on certain job. But if one must be a
foater, let him stay out Of the way of folks who
believe in their home community.

SOUTH CAN BE DRY IF SHE WISHES.

The Clipsheet of the Methodist Board of Tenn perance Prohibition and Public Morals thinks a majority of the best citizens still believe that Pro- hibition is the best method of handling the liquor problem. It warns President-Elect Roosevelt that the South which has contributed great leadership and such large numbers to the Democratic Party is still dry and for Prohibition.
 Well, there is nothing in the existing situation or the situation that is about to present itself to prevent any State-South North, West or East to be as dry as it wishes to be and in the way it wants. The repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and the modification repeal of the Volstead Act would not compel a State to be wet They would prevent one or States from dictating to other States but not interfere with State right. While the South has right to be dry she has no right to dictate to the populous States of the East and Middle West and Pacific Coast. At least that is what the people decided the 9th of November.
 However, the South is showing many signs of not being as dry as Dr. Wilson thinks she is. At least she no longer wishes to dictate to the rest of the Nation

Abas the Donkey!
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Now comes no less parsonage than Josephus Daniels, prominent Democratic leader and conspicu- ous in the high councils of his party, demanding that the great organization which today recognizes Franklin Deano Roosevelt it's politically anonted leader shall forever be symbolized by the patient and lowly donkey.
 There are reasons for this patriotic demand: The donkey cannot sing, and, no matter what Job and Aesop and others may have said of the useful beast in other days the donk is not a fit emblem to bray at the head of Democratic ticket. Han nibal rode elephant and that is not so bad, but the one-time Secretary of the Navy, who rode into office behind the long ears feels his gorge rise whenever he thinks about it.
 Richard the Lion-hearted rode war horse worthy of the fame of his master, while his Sara lcenic princely enemy rode stallion of purest East ern breed Think of either of those imperial gentlemen mounted on muel With the poet MT. Daniels behods the cock the rooster-mlitant and saSsy-as rampant proud and altogether worthy symbol for game organization. He can hear in his inner soul the cocks shrill clarion as contrasted with the brassy discordance which emanates from a jackass in search of oats.
 Mir Daniels wants to march under something that looks like victory. He is not particular about "a chicken in every pot" as he is about having rotous and courageous masculine member iof the tribe as the symbol of his party He says that everybody knows that an ass is a stupid boresome, dsgruntled critter with like plumes old-fashoned hearse.
 Nevertheless, MT. Daniels will have to admit that in the recent campaign the despised donk led MT Daniess party to it's greatest recorded victory, leaving the elephant and the eagle deep in the morasses of at least temporary political oblivion And what better could any hgh-toned fowl or feral critter have done, with without ears? So let us bray!

A German Cruiser in the North River.
(New York Herald Tribune)

With the arrival of the German light cruiser Karlsruhe the people of New York may the uniform of the German Navy upon their streets for the first time since the World War. It is an event not without it's significance, and not with out it's memories. The last Karlsruhe also a light cruiser vanished in November, 1914, with all her crew the victim of internal explosion while she was on her way to raid Allied shipping in the Caribbean. The last time a German naval ensign floated in American waters two years later, st the end of 1916 when the U-53 suddenly appeared
 in the middle of Newport Harbor, delivered her mail pounches and went out to sink shipping and Lightship.
 Six months later we were at war with imperial Germany, primarily a result of the exploits of her submarine sailors. Captain Wassner com manding the present Karlsruhe happened to be one of them. Well, it is all now; the immediate of international law involved have been returned 60 the historians and, whatever the final of American right the extraordinary heroism of the who fought it under orders in their cramped and stuffy submarines is recognized by naval sailors everywhere. Why Germany wants navy again after the disastrous consequences of her last experiment with one may seem a trifle of mys- tery; but, at any rate, fourteen years later one is glad to welcome the Karlsruhe and her crew in the silent hope that from the many milital v follies of the past something may have been learned and advance toward peace and law fulness achieved by the world and it's peoples.

ROSENWALD'S ESTATE MUCH SMALL.
 ER THAN EXPECTED.

The great estate of Julius Rosenwald, merchant phlanthropist.s second only to that of the late Marshall Field in Illinois probate history, was cut down to s3120232O by charitable gifts that were charged against it. Among the deductions was $5 5825,0 900 that set aside by MT Rosenwald to take care of the losses of Sears Roebuck and Com pany employees in the stock market crash in 1929. The deductions for charity in the aggregate amount ed to $1682012769. These represented by personal authorizations given a New York bank to protect charities and those concerned and charged to him.
 One time the writer met a group of Chicago business men on a New York Central train just after leaving New York City. In the course of con- versation that a part of the reaction following the departure from the or less cold East for mentioned The writer remarked that he had been a guest with the Chicago merchant at dinner a few days before in Washington. Without exception the Chicagoans replied, then you met the biggest in Chicago" They said that he had been giving away from three and a-half to five million dollars year for many years. Rosenwald very wealthy but he would have been among the richest of all time if it had not been for his widespread charities.
 The fact that the Rosenwald estate charged with s16oOoooo of uncompleted gifts at the time of his death shows that he died as he lived-think- ing of others

Yet they have had their first quarrel, because Santa en- gagged an expensive apartment and furnished it with the things she and Dicky had used without telling Give. Gives self respect will not permit him to allow Santa to pay for these luxurics-but his love for her makes him agree.
