Many High School Graduates

this number, 21O4. or 56q6, have con-
tinued their education by entering
colleges, preparatory schools, busi-
ness colleges, or hospitals for train
ing to become nurses. The fact that
so many of our graduates continue
their education indicates an interest
on their part in obtaining. an educa-
tion higher than that which is now
offered in our secondary schools.
The following is a detailed list of
the whereabouts of the graduates of
the class of 1888:

higher schools was 59% of the num-
ber graduated. This number increas-
ed in 1927 to $50 and reached the
highest point in 1928 when two
thirds of all who graduated went on
to other schools. Since 1928 the per-
centage has been decreasing. In 1929
it was 6O96; 1880, 500; 1881, 5196,
and in 1882, 529o.

In many instances the cost in
comparison to the return from the
gardens was quite high, due to the
fact that fall gardens were planted
and the cost computed in the total
amount without financial returns
from the fall gardens to counteract
the cost. This is true because of
the fall gardens having been de-

that much more thought and time

WHAT DID HE PROVE?

The physically fragile Mahatma Gandhi, who brought himself into the world picture again on May B. with the announcement of a three-weeks fast in the interest of Indias "untouchables, has survived the test Already weak and aged man it will be days yet before physicians say whether it was fatal in its consequences. So far he lives but whether he lives dies what will he have gained for the "untouchables' whose cause enlisted his major championship?
 Western thought at least, is not much impressed by this process of purifcaton, the Indian leader calls it. Martyrdoms, however picturesque, dramatic or sincere, no longer in fashion We live in a realistic age, and there are so many better ways by which cause may be advanced than meekly to die for it gesture of protest and reproach
 For intelligent human being to sit in the dirt and dust and say If what is wrong is not corrected by somebody I propose to starve myself to death" is more provocative of emotions of dis gust than of admiration, reverence or pity.
 Gandhi, with his admitted powers, can live and by consistent constructive effort do great deal for any cause he might espouse, but his death would merely be futile gesture. His fasting stunts in- vite neither respect nor reverence they suggest chiIdishness senility. The untouchables need real help. It will someday be forthcoming. Their deliverance however, will not be effected through the fasting and prayers of reputed saint. It will come, when it does, because men have come to realize the real divinity of justice and humanity And mans fasting, if he be holy man will not hasten materially that realization.

HE CHANGED HIS MIND.

Last Fall, during the Presidential campaign, Harvey Frestone intimate comrade of Henry Ford. said publicly it would be national calamity if Herbert Hoover should not be reelected President of the United States. MT. Ford took the same attitude Several weeks ago. MT. Ford advertised his change of mind and praised President Roosevelt to the skies
 Now comes NIT. Firestone with a similar admission of error. He, too has changed his mind Business is better, much so, that in the past 90 days the Firestone company has considerably more than doubled it's working force to keep apace with the increased demands So concludes MT. Firestone
 I thought it would be a calamity not
 to re-elect Hoover But I have changed
 my mind Roosevelt went right in and
 commenced to do things
 And that is of the biggest reasons for the ever increasing popularity of MT. Roosevelt. He commenced to do things" and he has quit it. He's still doing them to the great delight of the entire country which is behind him with a confidence in his leadership that no attack can shake

in good shape. The codng moth in the East Central States and in Missouri and the sugarcane borer in Louisiana, however, suffered high mortal lty from extreme unreasonable cold.
 Summer activities of insect pests entomologists point out, affected far less by winter kill than by conditions at the time of emerging from hberna- tion and during the growing season If for example the weather is warm and bright when young grass hoppers begin to hop, even a depleted army soon grows strong enough to do much damage. And if on the other hand, the weather is cold and rainy the young hoppers may be killed off in vast numbers as happened in the spring of 1892 over much of the threatened area in the West. The codling moth soon overcomes any reduction in numbers due to low winter temperatures if favorable weather pre- vails during it's egg-laying period
 Weather unfavorable to insect development but favorable to parasites and disease that attack the pests materially reduces the insect hordes the farmer must combat each season

Good Will PrOspectOrs.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer) )


 Next month will see a band of 300 whte-colared prospectors depart from Seattle for Alaska on mission that can be made significant to this city as the famed gold rush of the nineties
 The group will be composed of Seattle business executives and their wives who are making the good will journey under the auspices of the Cham Der Of Commerce to renew old business relation ships and to make new trade contacts.
 In the spirit of friendliness and appreciation of Alaskas problems together with the influence of more favorable economic conditions they will do much to open up the Alaskan treasure trove to the mutual benefit of Alaska and Seattle
 This port and market center is destined to play an increasingly important part in Alaskas devel- opment Its strategic situation and sympathetic and cooperative attitude toward the Northern Terri tory assure this good will journey such as is planned will safeguard and hasten the benefits of this relationship.
 Last year, probably the worst of the depression, Alaska drew on the United States for imports valued at $20,510238 of which domestic merchandise accounted for $19,573105
 Aaska's products for the same period amounted to $39 1926 445
 With improved business conditions and strength ening prices, these impressive totals can be greatly expanded in coming months. They are exceedingly important reflection of the potential scope of Seatte's trade territory
 The Alaskan market is one that Seattle cannot afford to neglect The good will journey is a timely recognition of that fact

MILD WINTER HELPS MANY INSECT

Many of the important insect pests hbernated successfully this winter, according to the spring surveys of the Bureau of Entomology United States Department of Agriculture. Temperatures were not low enough most of the country to destroy insects in large numbers and where it extremely cold thick blanket of snow protected their winter quarters.
 Grasshopper eggs came through the winter in excellent condition; the Mexican bean beetle in the Ohio River Valley showed high survival; the Hessian fly and the chinch bug wintered success fully in the Middle Vest and the tobacco flea beetle in North Carolina passed the cold months

Physicians Pay.
(New York World -Telegram.)


 The doctors complain of the faulty distribution of wealth as it is affecting them in the depression, and as it has affected them for the last decade and half.
 Medical Week, publication of the Medical So- ciety of the County of New York points out that the general taxpaying public must dig down deep to pay for the innumerable free hospital patients, and then adds that the doctor is twice vctimized as taxpayer and as dispenser of free esrvice in the clinics.
 The editorial says:--"The conditions governing affiliations with municipal and voluntary hospitals are virtual confscation of the service that is the sole source of livelihood to most doctors. Twenty years ago it would have been heresy to propose the payment of physicians for ward and clinic service. Today there is growing lay acquiescence in the belief that the doctor, like every else is entitled to be paid for his work The inability a large section of the public to pay for medical care is due not to any inherent defect of private practice, but to system that places the greatest part of the nations wealth in the hands of few people. The remedy lies in the eradication of the larger causes"
 It is true that physicians gain in knowledge and skill from their free-patient work Yet doctors are about the only commerciazed professional class who required to give a great amount of their time away for nothing. They should get paid for ton should be arranged in such way that they would be paid. At the same time millions of free patients now compelled to submit to pauperzation should be put in the way of paying for what they get. &

 The designation of Arthur E.

MT Morgan, Cincnnatian by birth is identified with the Miami Conservancy project now proved success; with the unique educational ex- pertinent at Yellow Springs and with many enter prises in scientific research He is an able engineer competent executive, and a man of unusually alert and original mind
 As the head of the gigantic Tennessee Valley project MT Morgan will have a double responsi- olty. He must see that the economic program roughed out in the recent statute is carried through successfully. He must also prove to the people Of the United States that public works on an enormous scale economically sound and financially feasible, and a workable remedy for unemployment Proving that, he will have laid the foundation for national economic planning on realistic basis.
 MT Morgans is task for technically trained engineer, to be sure But even more it is task for creative imagination which can visualize and bring to fruition the concept of colossal public expenditures as a lever to restore ecoonmic we'll being to distrait nation Mir Morgan's experience and quality of mind us that he will succeed if success is possible.
