WALKING TO SCHOOL
Sevei-al Missouri newspapers recently commented on the
fact that two boys living near the town of Boonville walk six
miles to school every day, and do all the chores at home in
addition; and it's all rather interesting, not because the boys
have to walk so far. but because the fact that they do is con
sidered worthy of mention in the newspapers.
A generation ago there would have been no news in such
a story. Walk six miles to school? There were thousands
and thousands of youngsters in all parts of the United States
who did it every day throughout the school year, and thought
nothing of it. In many rural districts long hikes like that
were the rule and not the exception.
Those, of course, were the days when the little red school
house was a more familiar institution than it is now. No one
had heard of consolidated schools then, nor of busses picking
up all the children, carrying them off to school and bringing
them home again in the evening.
The typical country school was a one-room, one-teacher
affair, drawing its pupils from a radius of six or eight miles
around; and the children trudged back and forth, through
deep snow in winter and through rain, dust, mud or wind in
spring and autumn. And no one ever thought that those child
ren were undergoing hardships; on the contrary, the children
were considered extremely lucky to have education available
at the price of a little extended footwork.
This isolated, one-room school hasn't vanished yet, of
course; but it is in the process of vanishing, and the system
that is .replacing it is vastly better from all standpoints.
Children's bodies are not taxed now as they used to be.
Their minds are given better training once the school room
is reached. Life is easier, pleasanter, more carefully planned.
Meanwhile, those two Missouri boys who have to walk so
far each day might be comforted, if they were aware of it,
by the fact that they are carrying on a brave old tradition.
What they are doing now, most farm boys had to do a few
decades ago.

their appreciation of the fine co
operation of the dental society in
making the meeting a success. The
clinic was the first of a series of
activities planned by the dentists of
Eastern Oregon to educate the par
ents and teachers of the children to
the Importance of dental attention
during the ages of childhood, since,
as Dr. Sweet pointed out, bad health
causes one of the greatest economic
losses of the present and about 75
per cent of the bad health is caused
by diseases that enter through the
oral cavity. Dr. Sweet especially
stressed the Importance of a clean
oral cavity both-in his talk before
the society following the banquet on
Monday evening at 6:30 at the Saca
Jawea Inn, and at the clinic at the
offices of Dr. Moore.
Among the dentists attending the
clinic were Dr. J. H. Burchdorf, of
Baker; Dr. H. C. Hall, of Haines:
Baker all finding the rim for field
goals. In the meantime, only Corey
and Stoddard were able to pierce the
Union defense for baskets from the
floor.
La Grande Closes Gap Some
The third quarter, with personal
fouls beginning to take their toll in
players, saw both La Grande and Un
ion suffer from this cause, but Stod
dard continued his accurate basket
shooting and at the end of the per
iod, the nine-point margin had been
reduced to five.
The last quarter was a hectic one,
with four Union first stringers out
of the game and the substitutes re
sorting to freezing to protect the
lead and they were successful.
Shortly before the game ended An
drews caged a field goal and a free
throw to bring the score to within
two points of the Bobcats, but in
the last two minutes of play, the
Tigers were unable to score.
Union was taking advantage of the
lip-off more than La Grande and
clearly outplayed the blue and white
team in the first half. The last two
s t a nzas sa w the Ti gers scori ng 1 5
points to Union's eight.
31 Personal Fouls
Thirty-one - personal fouls were
called, practically all of them due to
the intensity of the play. Neither
team converted a normal number of
free throws, but Union showed up
better in this phase of the game than
did La Grande.
It was the iirs. meeting of the two
quintets, which rank as two of the
strongest teams In Eastern Oregon.
They play a return game at La
Grande on Feb. 20.
Friday Baker High school comes
to La Grande and on Saturday the
Pendleton team will be here.

FAMILIES ARE SMALLER
In preparing his budget estimates' for next year Secretary
Mellon discovered something about the American family that
has escaped the attention of the public and has only been
suspected by profound students of such things.
Always in proposing a new income tax rate or schedule
the treasury department has prepared a little syllabus show
ing what its effect will be upon the several classes of incomes.
Specimen families and individuals representing the average
condition in each class are used for demonstration.
Until the present year the specimen married person was
regularly portrayed as with two dependents under the age
of 18 years. This was presumably based on the traditional
family of five persons, including two children under the self
supporting age and one over. Like so many traditions it no
longer lias- the justification of fact.
The average family today is made up of -1.2 persons in
stead of the traditional five, according to the experts. Great
has been the change from the old domestic picture of parents
surrounded by their "brood." Only a few years ago the fam
ily of five was considered small. Now the average is even
smaller, the government accepting a family of two adults,
one self-supporting child and one child under the self-supporting
age as the normal.
Another man who makes work for the coroner is he who
"never takes a dare."

By Morris J. Harris
SHANGHAI (JP) Wu Pel-Pu, the
"poet soldier," a name to conjure
with In China, has come out of a
Buddhist monastery to assist his old
foe. Chiang Kai-Shek, in unifying
China against Japan.
He was, until Marshal Chiang de
feated him pt Wuchang in 1927, a
cry thorn in the flesh of the na
tionalLsts j Ke fought them in the
field and poritlcally and if Feng Yu
Uslaftg.rUieCC&rlstlan general had
not gone over to the enemy, he
might have carried out his plan to
unify China by force.
In those days he was a wJrior
whom all China feared and respected.
When a few years ago he suddenly
appeared in Pelping as 'honored
guest" of Chang Hsiao-Liang, he
Jumped back into the headlines of
the vernacular and foreign press.
Known to be In failing health and
with, perhaps, only a few months to
live. Marshal Wu may become ono
of the chief rallying names for re
sistance to Japanese aggression.
Wu is a tall, slender man with
white hands which are as capablo
with the artist's brush or the pen as
they are at sketching military plans.
He won distinction In the field of
fine arts while he was a youthful
student and indulged himself in these
pursuits in later years as a relaxa
tion from his stern duties as a soldier.
He was born at Peng-lai, province
of Shantung, in 1878. A licentiate
with the degree of Hsul-Tsai, won by
competitive examinations, he was
persuaded by relatives to start a
military career and was graduated
from the Peiyang military academy
at Tientsin In 1898.
He Joined the Imperial Chinese
army but when the republic was es
tablished under the presidency of
Yuan Shih-Kai in 1912. Wu was made
commander of a regiment.
President Yuan's 1914 plans to make
himself monarch of China brought a
rebellion tn which Wu won national
fame, for he put down the uprising
with such thoroughness that he was
made a major general.
Then In 1917 Wu commanded the
left flank of the republic's army when
It fought an attempt by General
Chang Hsun to restore the Manchu
dynasty. Wu crushed the foe's right
wing and was credited with being
responsible for the defeat of the
movement. -.
In the south. Canton, led by Dr.
Sun Yat-Sen. founder of the republic,
was becoming a serious menace to
uie vaujung iimuibiumf ui iuuii ouin-
Kal and Wu was picked as the man
to break Sun's rising prestige. He
did this largely by diplomacy, bring
ing about a truce In the struggle. .
Yuan's death saw Wu In control of
five provinces and commander of the
third division of the old Pekln army.
This force became embroiled with
Chang Tso-Lin, father of the recent
ly deposed young war lord of Man
churia, and. it was then that Feng.
Yn-HKinnff tlPKfrtfd Wu's banner, re
sulting in the latter's defeat. But
later Wu helped Chang beat Feng In
1926.
His real nemesis was Chiang Kai
Shek. His 1927 defeat of Wu at Wu
chang was so thorough that It drove
the artistically minded war lord In
to the retirement from which he nas
Just emerged.
