ATTACKS SYSTEM
OF NAVAL EXAMS
Representative Howard of Georjria
Says Present Method Is Silly
Seeks Reform.
By Burton K. Standish, written for
the United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug 13. The
Hon. William S. Howard, representa
tive from Georgia, doesn't like the
questions which the examining board
asks of all candidates for the United
states nav;il academy and he recently
delivered himself of his opinion on
the Bubject and the reasons why be
fore the house.
Representative Howard left ahso

fellow congressmen as to his exact

PORTLAND, OREGON
and innermost thoughts about some
of the entrance examination questions
asked would-be future naval officers.
One of the questions upon which the
representative who came from the
state made famous by Ty Cobb, lit
with both hands and feet was, "Trace
the growth of democracy in Rome,
previous to the Punic war."
"Why shouldn't the candidate in
stead be asked to trace the growth of
Bull Moosism in Pennsylvania pre
vious to the last presidential elec
tion?" demanded the fiery southern
er. "Knowledge of democracy's
growth In Home previous to the Pu
nic war," said Howard, "is just about
as helpful to a future sea-fighter as
would be the knowledge of what's in
side of lima beans."
"In a recent entrance examination
the candidates were asked to locate.
mong other places, Aganta. Punta
Arenas, Peehili, Finisterre, Kattegat,
and Brahamputra. They might as
well have been asked to locate Dogs
Tooth, Buzzards Boost or Sundance,
for which a $50,000 public building
was provided by the senate last year.
Silly Questions,
"And why should it be expected
that a candidate has crammed Into,
his brain all the reasons why the Ro
man legion was tactically superior to
the Macedonian phalanx? Old Gen
eral J. Caesar himself, probably did
not know why. He probably merely
knew that his legions had a better
batting avfirage than the Macedonian
phalanxes. Still another silly ques
tion aswed in entrance papers was re
garding the spread of Christianity in
Rome.
But perhaps the worst of all was
the question asking for complete de
tails of Washington's campaign ii New
Jersey during the winter of 1775-76.
The bright young man who called this
question to my attention, wrote for
twenty minutes before he suddenly
realized that Washington wasn't In
New Jersey during that time. It
was merely a 'catch question' of the
kind they use to trip up the small
boy in grade school"
"It isn't -at all surprising," contin
ued Representative Howard, "that one
boy became facetious in answering
the question as to why science could
not utilize the waters of Niagara Falls
with the time honored answer,
Dammit they can't' And my heart
goes out to the young man from Tex
as who, after struggling with a score
of foolish, senseless questions, wrote
on his paper, 'You all can go to hell;
I'm on my way back to Texas. '"
Howard quoted a number of reas
ons given for not accepting candidates
who have passed the mental examina
tion. They were unscientific dentition
mean poor dentistry; ingrowing toe
nails; ozena which means sore nose;
and exacverbation of pathogonomic
symptoms which sounds bad but
means very little.
"If these ailments were made lions
in the paths of political honors," ask
ed Howard, "how many of our lead
ing congressmen and statesmen would
we have here In Washington?"
Remarks Make Impression,
, The Georgia representative s re
marks were made partly facetiously
but they have made an impression.
Senators and representatives who
didn't know about these matters, are
talking about some means of changing
the system of ontrance examinations
for Anapolis. It is the contention
that under present systems, it is ab
solutely necessary for a student to
"crtm like sixty" at a special prepara
tory school before he can pass such
an examination. This "cramming" it
is conceded, never means obtaining
real information that lasts, but only
enough to get through the exam with.
In discussing the case recently,
Howard told of a Brooklyn boy, whose
father, a warrant officer, could not
afford to send his boy to a prepara
tory school
his class at school. Four boys,- who
had stood far lower In the first boy's
Mass attended the preparatory school
and passed the Annapolis entrance ex
amination while the first boy, "the
son of a gunner," as Howard put It
failed.
"The son ofa gunner failed; those
sons of guns rejected him," said
Howard.
It is Representative Howard's con
tention that only twenty-seven per
cent of the 500 boys who took the en
trance examination last year passed
and that of tha number more than
half had to take a second or third ex
amination. Representative Howard
wants the curriculum and system
changed "so that an ordinary human
being can pass the examinations and
have half a chance to remain at the
institution after he gets there."

le removal of the bark of infested
trees between October and July, while
the larvae are still In the tree, Is suf
ficient to kill them. The lumber may
then be sold while It is yet sound. On
the Ochoco forest, however, there
was no market, and the forest officers
found that the cheaper and more ef- j
lective nietnon or control was to cui
the trees and burn them before the
new broods of beetles could emerge.
In 1912 the Infestation was given a
decided check by the cutting of '3500
trees. This summer the attack on
the insects was resumed with renew

officials of both companies.
Guy L. Anderson, former O.-W. of

as 'general manager, and other offl
cials, as usual, deny the visit had any
significance in the reported deal and
local people are beginning to believe
the oft-repeated tale of a sale Is made
of whole cloth. On the other hand,
those who believe In the deal point
out that O.-W. R. & N. agents have
acquired property at Sumpter and
other places, of no use to the company
otherwise. The S. V. has acquired an
other big bunch of timber land ad
Jacent to its terminal at Prairie City,
