The committee comprised fifteen men and women of Winchester, rather able and sincere and im pressed with the possibilities of the survoy, who set forth to diagnose the class rooms of the public school For months the tongue of gossip had assailed the schools, and the com mittee had rnj-tloads of criticism to consider and Investigate, yuesllon nulrcs were drawn up and sent to parents and teachers, ench query bearing upon some pertinent point of resesreh. Something was wrong with Winchester's fonts of learning, beyond dispute, for the first evi dence recorded was that twenty-two high school pupils had been with drawn and entered In other Insti tutes. Through a fortnight the re search went on. Then the committee reported. It found that Winchester schools functioned perfectly to and Including the seventh grade, but that satisfac tory progress balked nt the two up per grades and the high school, de anlte superior school facilities and iha unremitting annl Icntlon of a con scientious and capable corps of teachers. In the high school were boys and girls lust aware of adol escence, wllh its tendency townrd cnllow smrtnrss. chatting of the lat est motorcars, the swiftest "Jazi" and the sugared scandals of the screen. They were rather superior ynung people, modestly attired and addicted to vaudeville repartee, promising a grent deal or nothing at all, as one chose to look at It- but all alike disdainful of study. "We have found," reported the toinmlttee of flfleen. "an unsatisfac tory sitltndn on the part of the pu pils, especially in the high school, le va iird school work and school disci pline. "Hie wrong attitude of pupils we believe to be the principal cause of such imperfections as exist In our schools. For this we think the school Is rmrilv nt fault, hut the re sponsibility fulls primarily on us who urn n.ircnts, because we allow our chtldren so much diversion and en tertainment that the school work be comes recondnrv. and because we fall to renulre of them that serious alti tude toward the business of educa tion which Is essential to success."

He Is a fellow with a taste for nnlltirs, a gift of gab, and nn Ingratiating manner. Ho Veops his ear to tin ground all the year, knows the uin'cilvlng m e pients. and is aiwin dropping seeds ol opinion to be lnirvesled Inter on. Snlnon keepers formerlv used to be prominent ns vote swingers. Any man who keeps any form of gossip center, or who is a "mixer" nod mingles with many people, or who merely takes a keep interest in poli ties mv swav the political opin ions of more or less people, nnd such Influence niav be exerted for good ends. The vote swinver poses as a good citlr.en, in!oir-'ed In politics for good p'trnoses. lint the opportunis ts too tempting for those who time other motives. The man who a.--qntres political Inlluence. has In the past found thai this power Is fre quently snliilile. often for cash, or for constder.itlonr equally valuable The inexperienced candidate Is lis 1taly told that he must got "next" In the vote swingers, and nsertaln whnt they can do for him. This Is a trying experience for the novice who wantn to do things on the nnara If hit secures their efforts on his behalf, there usually has toj be a reckoning at some future date. Commonly the compensation ex pectcd Is some appointment to office. Candidates make a mistake In taking t.e vole swliui: r too seriously.

One of the things which disgusts j the average person with the rourts is the way that it is possible for riih men with shrewd attorneys to delay i and frequently defeat the ox iiuon 1 of the lav.. Take the cake of ISowk. and Smith, heads of the Portland shipyard graft. u an example: lb'. , vere ordered to brlna their books into court--that the federal grand: jury might have an opporiuuty to. delve 'mo them and determine.

It was a very reasonably ind natuial order on the part of llldge llean, but the defendants de led it. and were fined for contempt f court. Their attorneys gave no-1 tfoe of appeal -and there you arc. It will probably take months. If not j veam, before the government will be ilde to compel these two men to oboyj iha mandate of its courts.

A large number of people '.-ill this summer find homes in tents. The U. H. war department has been 'requested to provide canvas shelter for Rueh persons. There are many 'eaith resorts to which people come for somewhat temporary sojourns, where many families live In tents hroiigh the winter.
