There is no great gobs of birdH in these parts, on that a big majority of La Grande nimrods agree.

I-'ew of the Pendleton hunters who went out to take advantage of the first day of the hunting season managed to get their fill. They found that every one with a gun had the same idea of being first on the scene and that there were not enough birds to go around.

The Gen eral Education Board announces that it is about to complete a study of the public school systeminaugurated at Gary, Indiana. The purpose is that a full and authoritative account of this interesting experiment in public education may be available for study and use throughout the country. The Board has employed a staff of educational experts who have already devoted five months to a first-hand study of the purposes, methods and costs of the system at Gary and the results actually achieved there. This woik was undertaken at the invitation of the school board of Gary. The re sults will be embodied in a compre hensive volume to be issued by the Board. Abraham Flexner of the General Education Board is directing the study assisted by Dr. Frank P. Bachman, formerly Associate Superintendent of schools in Cleveland, Ohio who has been on the ground continuously Specialists who are dealing with par ticular fields are: Prof. C. R. Richards, Director of Cooper Union vocational and indus trial instruction. Mrs. Eva W. White, Director of iKe Extended Use of Public Schools f Boston, Mass. domestic science and arts. Prof. George D. Strayer, Teachers College, Columbia University admin istration, organization and supervi sion. S. A. Courtis, Director of Research in the Schools of Detroit, Mich. classroom testing. Lee K. Ilnnmer, Director of the De partment of Recreation and Play grounds of the Russell Sage Founda tion physicial training and recrea tion. Prof. Otis W. Caldwell, University of Chicago science. Frank L. Shaw, recently with the Cleveland School Survey statistical worlt. Ralph Bowman, formerly of the Bureau of Municipal .'.Research cost accounting. In addition to the work at Gary and for the purpose of studying the school possibilities of the unusually gifted child: the General Education Board has made an appropriation to Prof. Guy M. Whipple of the Univer sity of Illinois. Up to this time much special study has been devoted to im proving the education of defective children but comparatively little at tention has been devoted to a sys tematic and thorough study of the talented child. Prof. Whipple will endeavor to find out how much school time and energy they can economize, as well as how much additional training and mental equipment thty can obtain during their school years. I The Board has tlso authorized a study of the Junior High School, which is being widely experimented with in different sections of the country. As ordinarily conceived, the Junior High School takes over grades seven and eight of the elementary school and the first year of the High School, reorganizing them so as to bridge the gap between elementary and high schools. The Junior High School also endeavors to recognize individual differences more adequate ly than the elementary school has done. The topic was debated earnest ly at this year's meetings of the Na tional Education Association and it is extremely important that a critical study on' the ground should be made of the curriculum, methods of teach ing, organization and results thus far obtained in the Junior High Schools now in operation at various points. The studv will lc made by Professor Thomas H. Hriggs of Teachers Col lege, Columbia University, who will devote at least six months to visit ing these institutions. Professor Briggs will ' prepare a volume on the subject which will be published and widely distributed by the General Education Board. SUGAR Safeguard Your Child.

Trust Your Employees In the September American Maga zine the winner of the contest called, "What I would suggest to My Em ployer"; says if he had a chance to talk to his employer he would say: "You want a strong , well-knit or ganization. Then above all things, trust your men and show it. If you feel doubt as to any man s ability con ceal it, make that man, and others, too, feel that you are depending on him, that you have confidence in him, backing him up. Keep that attitude consistently until at least you are ful ly convinced that he will not do. Other things being equal, there will be very few men to fail that support. But when a man does fail, when it is quite clear to you that he is not the man for the job, then by all means shift him or let him go at once. Do not keep him to nag and grumble at, for that will only discourage the rest of your organization. They will feel that their own rights (by 'better service) to the place are being ignored. "You have good men. Respect them. Have confidence in their judgment. It is a good thing to consult outside men, to get the outside viewpoint. But af ter all remember that your own men are far more vitally interested in the success of the company then any out sider can be and that their intimate knowledge of your equipment and needs makes them better fitted to judge as to the effect of any new plans of trade conditions on your busi ness. Value their opinions and judg ments, accordingly, even though you do not follow them, and show you val ue them in every possible way you can." Pacific Mail Resumes Orienfal Service San Francisco, Aug. 18. The Pa i-ific Mail Steamship company will re sume its Oriental passenger service tomorrow when the oil burning, 10, 000 ton steamer "Ecuador" gets un der way from here to Honolulu, Yo kahama, Kobor Shanghai, Manila and ! Hong Kong. The Pacific Mail com pany quit the trnns-Pai-ihc trade when the seamen's law became effec tive, on the theory that the law im posed too many hardships on the steamship companies for the trade to be a paying proposition. But with freight bringing $20 a ton because of the war shortage of ships the com pany was soon reorganized. As the new ships arc oil burners they do away with the picturesque but un comfortable process of taking on coal at Oriental ports. Travelers prob ably will be glad to change the rom ance oi mis spectacle lor tne more prosiac act of taking in oil. Oil is taken in much as water. A long pro cession of orientals used to load the ships with coal from handbaskets, nl so loading the passengers eyes, ears, noses, throats and luggage with a lot of coal dust.
