AN EXPERIMENT IN SUPPRESSING NEWS
i Portland Oregonian: Fayetteville, North Carolina, came
briefly before the country as the city in which an attempt
vas made to delete all crime news from a daily newspaper.
After two weeks of such experimentation the Fayetteville
Observer announces that it will resume the publication of
human delinquency, at the request of its readers. The exact
ratio of public sentiment on this issue was sixty to one. From
Ihis it may reasonably be inferred that many persons, pre
viously of the belief that crime news should not be published,
.found occasion to change their opinion.
The ostrich-like attitude of ignoring crime tends only to
foster public ignorance of the black possibilities of crime, and
such ignorance is perilous. You may ask any criminal, if op-

' . The people of Roseburg feel proud of their schools, and
all they are accomplishing; for the young people. But they
do not realize the extent to vtfhkh in many growing towns
and cities, those schools are handicapped by crowded rooms.
With the taxpayers groaning over their assessments, there
K Some demand for a scrimping policy in the schools, which
rriay result in a certain number of crowded school-rooms.
You put 50 or 60 youngsters in a room where a teacher
should not handle over 30 or 40, and the capacity for trouble
of "that bunch of youngsters is greatly increased. Also the
: .lime and energy of the teacher is spread out pretty thin, in
-rjior effort to put some wisdom into so many heads all at once.
' While she is getting an idea into one head, the other 50 may
be conspiring to counteract the ideas she got into their little
brains on the day before.

matter for unbounded enthusiasm. Today we are not whol

' WORK STARTING ON MILL
1 Work is being started on the
Coen planing mill and lumber yard
I In the south end of town, and the
foundations are already in, and
construction work will start soon
on the main portion of the struc
ture. - Building has been held up
i because of the lack of lumber, but
I the roads are now in such conai
tion that materials can be trucked
in from the mill, and it Is expected
i that by the middle of next week,
the walls will be started.
Recent reports from the automobile factories are that
they are running practically up to capacity. Some pessimists
have been thinking for some time that the automobile indus
try would soon reach its capacity, and be forced to slow
down, but the more cars are made, the more ueoole seem to
-Vant. Owing to the many poor roads and to the speed which j tJTJl''1 "or ""nothing
me American people seem to preier in driving automobiles,
cars wear out fast. The mere replacement of such scrapped
machines is a tremendous business of itself. Also the out
! side world is just beginning to wake up to the value of auto
', mobiles. As nations and peoples become more modern, they
! will demand more automobiles, and America has a long start
; in the business of producing them.

The annual county track and
field meet, in which all of the
schools of the county participate
each year, will be held on Friday,
May 22. as an attraction of the
Roseburg Strawberry carnival,
which is to take place on the
dates of May 21, 22, and 23. The
nlans lor the field meet have
been practically completed, and
at a meeting of the council Satur
day the reports indicated that the
event this year is to be the best
of any meet ever held in the
county.
The same general plan is tttlng
followed this year as in past
years, only a few modifications
being made.
The county Is divided Into nine
sections, and In each of these
sections elimination contests arj
held. Each school enters con
testants in the various events, and
at the sectional meets teams are
selected to represent each section.
These teams then meet In Rose
burg on the date set for the
county event, and the winners
are inflected according to the num
ber of points scored.
The sectional meets start on
May 1, and will all be held dur
ing the first part of May. The
sectional teams will then have an
opportunity to prepare for the
county contest the last of the
month.
Heretofore the annual declama
tion contest has been held on the
same day. aa the field meet, but
this year, the declamations will he
given on the 16th of May. This
Is being done because of the fact
that It Is difficult to hold tire
contest In the morning, as has
been done previously, and It la
thought that by putting thfm ln
the afternoon or evening, that a
better attendance will be secured.
There will be three sections,
one for high school, one for grade
school girls, and one for grade
j srhool hoys. These will meet at
anrerant places, and the three
contests will be staged simultan
eously. A new feature Is being Intro
duced this year, and will doubt
less grow In Importance In the
future. That Is a contest for glee
clubs, to he held at the same
time as th declamation contest.
Mrs. Ackert. the county srhool
superintendent. Is a great lover
of music, and Is anxious to see
more attention given music In the
county schools. She la encour
aging the organization of glee
clubs in the various schools, and
has arranged a contest and suit
able prizes, for this year.
The Roseburg schools will not
be allowed to compete against
outside schools, as they have the
great advantage of a large num
ber of singers from which to sel
ect. The local clubs will compete
among themselves, while clubs
from out of town will form an
other group.
The reoulrements are not to be
severe this year, but In the future
It Is expected to gor?rn contests
by a set of strict rules.
