" The Play Made Famous By Sol Smith Russell. B METHODS TO RULE QUIZES EIGHTH GRADERS TO USE BOOKS FOR REFERENCE Slate Superintendent Inaugurates Radical Departure. In the May and June eighth grade examinations a nevy plan will be tried in testing the pupils in the subjects of U. S. History and Civil Government, according to a statement issued to day by State Superintendent of Pub- j lie Instruction J. A. Churchill. Dur ing the examination the pupils will u allowed to refer to their text books, but the questions will be so framed as to test the ability of the pupil ir expressing what ho has learned in clear, concise language. The ad vantages of such a plan are, that it permits the teacher to emphasize the historical events which she considers most important; it gives the trained teacher greater freedom so that sho can do a much higher quality of work, than simply helping the pupils to "cram" for ' an examination;, it frees the teacher and the pupils from so teaching and studying as to make the examination the end; it tends to give the pupils power of expression and eliminates the memorizing of un important dates and facts. . "There is always danger," said Fellow Citizens: The management of Cherry's New Laundry believes thoroughly in La Grande, in Union county and the state of Oregon. This is our home and La Grande people are our neighbors and our friends. We have no time nor inclina tion to seek the faults in our friends, if faults . they should hafve, and we want' to impress upon , ' all our intense and lasting loyalty to our people, i If they do not approve of the enforcement of our obsolete and dust-covered statute we will have no quarrel with them, for in attending to pur own -business we find we have ample work to do. Ill George Gilbert EA Home Made Bread THE KIND THAT IS MADE IN LA GRANDE. It has been said ttmt we were the first to put in Portland bread and we want to plead guilty to the charge. At that time our home bread was not good and we shipped in Rpyal Bread to satisfy our customers. Yes we will still carry Royal bread, but we ask you to try the Made in La Grande Bread first. ... '.. J. G. Snodgrass Grocer Quality Phone Main 43 Service Honest Prices Superintendent Churchill, "of the ex amination system developing a quos tion and answer method of teaching. Any plan whereby the examination be comes the end is unpedagogical. With this new plan, if the teacher will adopt it for the pupils' monthly tests, they will learn by the close of the year how to use the text as merely a reference work in writing their final papers. The questions will be so worded that it will be impossible for the pupil to copy any amount from the text book, but he will find help by turning to it to refresh his mem ory on some point that has escaped him just for the moment. When writing an examination a pupil often finds that he can not recall the an swer to a question. He is then liable to become so nervous and frightened that he will fall in the entire exam ination. This is really the common sense way to prepare a pupil for his work in the every day world, for if a man has to write an article or pre pare a paper on any subject, he does not attempt to depend upon his mem ory for the proof he wishes to use from various sources to substantiate his statements rather, he has on his table a number of reference works dealing with the subject upon which he is writing. The eighth grade ex aminations, to a very large extent, set the standard for teaching, and I am very confident that this new plan will strengthen the work in the eighth grade and give the pupil much more power and confidence than he gains from the memory tests. If his class standing has been high dur ing the year and his English work what it should be, he will pass a good examination. If his class work has been below par, the open book will be of no help to him during -the short hour of the examination."

Whoever it was went on to say that tastes and dispositions change, our intorosts are no longer the same, we have nothing in common, therefore, meetings must bring sorrow instead of joy. No doubt he was a wise man, but like 'many an other wise man, he was mistaken in such a general statement. I know, be cause I've just tried it out. Out it the Coliseum, in a crowd of thousands, I turned, and looked into a face Ixlud not seen for years, and such joy flarod up in my heart as I, had not felt for many a day. I didn't stop to remind myself of the advice of a wiss man. I went to her as fast rs'my legs would carry me, and longed to go faster still. The joy on her face was my reward. She evidently was not afraid of the wise suying, either. The yenrs rolled away, like the mist of that plorious autumn morning, leaving the sunlight of true friendship. And how wo did talk! If our tastes had changed, thon each of us had acquired a new set equally congenial. We agreed tpcrfect- Uy, on church,' suffrage, teacher's pen sion, and all other topics that came up. And besides, we hnd old friends to re call,, and "our families to djscuss. We shared joys and sorrows, for we under stood "each other. That one hour, part of it fipent in talking, part of it in sit ting quietly, listening to the music and addresses, stands out as the crowning event of a full, happy day. If I could se the wise man whe thought l.e had spoken the wh'olo truth about) old friendshins.I'd ask him to modify it by saying: "Some ol.l friends should not meet," or better still: "Some people who imagined that they wero friends, had better not try meeting after a long separation." For friend, ahiei friends, and no separation can change true friendship. Why, I know that when we get to the better land my friend is sure to go, and I am hupinjr to we shall take up our friendship, just where it was inton jpted on earth, and I shall claso her Jwvnd, and look dee into her lovely pansy eyes, and the better land will be sweeter, because old friends have met again. .Baker, Ore., Jan. 12. (Special.) Baker will not assist in the movement of wives of Washington officials to sell calendars in memory of ' Mrs. Wooc'.-ow Wilson to raise funds for a memorial in carrying on her work of educating mountaineer children of the Southern Appalachians. The Alpha Club was asked to dis pose of the calendars just at the close of its Red Cross stamp campaign, and the club declined that a second cam paign coon after the first would not be effective, so the nwnioral calend ars were returned.
