From there he expects to make a short trip to Idaho. He_was taken to Baker by Doc TQM Blaak. Much excitement was caused in town this morning by the strik- ing of a flow of Gas and Oil by the welldrillers at the school- house. The flow is not yet strong enough to be availabie for com- mercial purposes but the drillers are going deeper in the expecta- tion that a bigger flow will be struck at a greater depth. They are now drilling thru a sand rock formation below which they ex- pect a bigger flow of both gas and oil. The 'outcome is eagerly awaited and great expectations have been aroused and which if materialized would mean much to our, \town. —Plevna Herald.

Many parents will feel that then is sound common sense in the sugges- tions made by Professor Hall-Queet of the University of Virginia in hie addresses before Rochester teacher* in regard to , arranging school sched- ules so that home work would be abolished and the amougt of writing done by school children greatly re- duced. Children in the upper grades in grammar schools have a great deal of writing to do and a considerable amount of home work besides. AE the majority of children graduate from the grammar schools nowaday* at twelve to fOurteen years of age, study in the upper grades imposes a tremendous strain of the eyes and general health a period of life when it is likely,to have pernianent injuri- ous effects. Professor Hall -Quest put his finger on the weak spot in the present school system when he said that children would learn vastly more if . they were taught more how fo study and use their minds instead of spending so much time writing. Much of the writing done is a 'waste of time because it makes no impres- sion whatever on the mind of the child. But the incompetent or lazy teacher fin& it an invaluable aid be- cause discipline is more easily pre- served when children have their hands occupied.—Rochester Demo- crat.
