EIGHTH GRADERS TO USE

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.

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. ... '..

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."

' Friends and Friends
(Indianapolis News)
Who was. it said: "Friends long
separated should not meet?" 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.

Washington, Jan. 12. Warren S.
Young, Ever hear of him? He's
the "man behind the throne"in Wash

lublexOld black working coat, he is the
man who decides who shall and shall
not..attend affairs of state in the
White House. He knows all the high
brows, the elite, the old families nnd
the climbers in Washington and how
to treat them. His is the order upon
which invitations are extended to all
guests of the Executive Mansion, and
his is the order which excludes hun
dreds. His is the task of deciding
with whom to place the Greek minis

There is one dinner for the Allies and
one for the central powers. Young,
for the first time in his official experi
ence, was sore perplexed.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it with sprays, lotions and the
like. Temporary relief may be giv
en, but a cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help catarrh would be to have a
change of climate; but now with a
simple preparation culled Hyomei y.iu
can carry a health-giving climute in
your vest pocket and by breathing it
a few minutes four times a day suc
