Fall Credit ! Given.
"Ton can see that It la not my Inten
tion to give them full credit for tbe
time necessarily apent In home work.
writes Mr. O'Reilly. In relation to the
adoption of the plan. 1 have learned
that thla world doea not give m full
credit for our time. Had I learned It
when I was younger I believe I would
be a better man today. I have ex
plained and demonstrated this to my
school, thus preparing; them early to
learn to give more than they get. The
plan Is an agreement between each pu
pil and me. If lie falls to live up to
his part of It he should learn that the
violation of hla agreement always
worka a hardship. I'erhape I am teach
ing; eome practical businrea law here.
"The plan of tha awards atarts them
on a commercial future and haa result,
ed In my having to tell them all about
savings accounts.
I have 31 pupils and receive 33 notes
each morning; from the parents."
Contest So OkMalry.
I'nder the rules aa adopted no pupil
is required to enter the contest. Any
pupil entering la free to quit at any
time, but anyone quitting without good
cause will loss all credits. Every day
tha teacher Issues a credit voucher to
tha pupil showing the number of
minutes for which he Is credited.
Ten per cent credit is added to final
examinations for the credit of pupils
who enter and continue the contest.
When the pupil haa vouchers to the
extent of one day earned, by their lur.
render to the teacher he may have
holiday, provided not more than one
holiday la granted to a pupil a month.
If tha puptl drops out or has an unex
cused absence, he forfeits all credits,
for nnexcused tardiness he forfeits 18
per cent of tha credlta and forfeits 10
per cent when he Is lesa than 90 per
cent for deportment for the month.

Southern Pacific Official Thinks

EUGENE. Or, Dec. 21. (Special.)
"If I should hazard on opinion as to

general superintendent of the Southern
Pacific lines In Oregon, yesterday, "I ,
would say that It would sound more
feasible end logical If proposed by the
Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul.
The Northwestern and ,ita terminus
are so remote from this section, its
nearest point being In Wyoming, that
the late news story to the effect that
the Northwestern Is back of the Coast
branch enterprise Is entitled to a rea
sonable doubt. Then again, the
Northwestern haa so Ion lain dor- j CLEAN BREAKS DEMANDED
why should It not be assumed that the
Milwaukee, right here in the field, is
more likely to be the factor in the new
project? But then no one seema to
know who is really back of the pro
posed Coast line.
"We have to go to the newspapers
here of late to get the real news in
regard to railroad matters. It would
appear that we have a strong oppo
nent in the field with reference to the
Coast line road. What are they going
to do with us? is the question."
Mr. Campbell and F. L. Burkhalter,
district engineer, were in Eugene yes
terday on a tour of inspection here and
in Springfield. They had Just come
from Yaauina. where they bad been
engaged in a similar mission.
"I have been but 30 days in har
ness," Mr. Campbell continued, and am
out now looking over the territory and
getting acquainted. I am certainly
very favorably Impressed with the
country. It has great possibilities.
Eugene has great opportunities for de
velopment and has ample room to ex
pand into a city. We have also been
over Springfield and Its growth and
civic pride gave us a favorable lmpres-
