be turned to set the camera at that

The lens openings on folding cam

of them, indicating what is known as
the focal length of the lens. The
shutters of folding cameras have va

pictures with a folding camera, you
must remember to set the lens at the
correct opening and at the correct
shutter speed.
If you are using folding camera
with a lens marked as described you
should set the pointers as follows:
f.32 (sman opening) for time ex-
posures only.
f.22 for snow, water. mountain and
distant scenes over 100 feet from the
camera: a speed Of 1/25.

pervisor for the market.
MIR. Mcfarland estimated today's
offerings at around 100000 pounds
with sales being concluded by the
noon hour.
Offerings have been light this week
on account of the fact, it is said, that
SO many growers are stripping, and
a few are still curing. Heavier sales
the. remainder of the week and un-
usually hAavy offerings next week
and for several weeks thereafter are
looked for.
High averages that have been paid
so far during the season have arisen
from a good quality of leaf on sale.
Growers for the most part have been
pleased with prices they have receiv-
ed for their weed.

We have very high percentage of
failures and we find our students are
not as well prepared as they should be
to do high school work. The eight
months term is very short at the best,
and if we can give the pupils an hour
on each class, he has time to prepare
his work and get the assistance from
his teacher. Schools more and more
are using the Supervised plan of
study" This enables the child to Sc

knows his individual needs and pos
sibilities. It should largely eliminate
home study except for special reading
and investigation.

the instructions of the superintendent
of schools and the board of educa-
ton in this matter. They are respon-
sible to the State for the administra-
ton of the schools and I am entirely
willing to follow their directions.
Since this matter has come to a
point of discussion with many par
ents, I do sincerely hope that our pa

school and its administration. I hope
and believe that the only point at issue
is the. desire for a longer lunch period.

Prof. w. d. Payne today handed the
Daily Dispatch a statement about the
high school work schedule, with par
ticular reference to the allotment OF
time for lunch periods. He also un-
dertook to explain what the conse-
uuences would be ig certain alterna-
tives were adopted in lieu of the pres
emit program. The statement follows in
full:
The missionaries that we sent ont
on Monday, September 20 reveal the
fact that our parents are not much
concerned about the particular time
that the lunch periods at the high
school occur. Some of them do request
that the students be given longer
lunch periods.
! wish to assure our patrons that
I have every desire to cooperate with
them, and to plan the day here for
the very best interest of all students
Here is the way that we spend the
day at the present time:

gllar schedule, but it takes six pc

bly, or Activity one-half hour.
Lunch for each pupil one-half hour.
4 First Home Room to check attend
ance and short devotionals ten min
utes.
Last Home Room to check attend
ance four minutes.
, Glasses change from one room to
another nine times each day and thus
we have left only about two minutes
for classes to change from one room
to another. Several times each day
we take longer by taking a few min
utes less than an hour on one of the
regular claSSes).
The State Department of Education
requires that science classes and
home economics classes meet five
times each week for sixty minutes We
have six classes of home economics
and seven of science, so that is why
we have six full and regular class
periods.
1t seems then that in order to have
a longer lunch period we should have
